10 Places I Wish I Could Be Instead of Studying For Midterms
Girls Reading

You know that time right around the middle of the semester that really makes you regret skipping all those classes to go get Chick-fil-A with your friends (okay nvm Chick-fil-A is bae) or showing up to class with your laptop just to spend an hour taking Buzzfeed quizzes. Yeah, you what I'm talking about. MIDTERM TIME! The time where the joy of spring is completely ruined by colleges everywhere. In honor of probably having to withdraw from most of my classes anyways, here are ten places I'd rather be than stuck in my dorm room with a mound of study guides.

1. In a bathtub full of Chic-Fil-A

Considering the long lines at Chic-fil-A are what made me 30 minutes late for class anyways, what better place to be than bathing in my misery with the love of my life.

2. Back in high school

Okay, maybe this is a stretch but honestly my high school only gave you an exam one time and that was at the end of the school year and you only had to take it if you had a 90 or below.

3. On a cruise ship heading anywhere besides Clemson University

Bahamas. Puerto Rico. Canada. Alaska. Mexico. Cruise me to Wal-Mart for all I care.

4. At a basketball game

Nobody knows this, but I taught Lebron all he knows.

5. In my bed binge watching Greys Anatomy

I don't want to move from my bed until I've finished watching every season of Greys Anatomy, which is never because the show never stops.

6. At the zoo

I literally rather be put in a cage with a hungry lion than study one more page of statistics

7. Running a marathon

If I'm dead I don't have to take the midterms. Logic.

8. Volunteering at an animal shelter

There is absolutely nothing in the world I want more than to be surrounded by a thousand puppies licking my worries away

9. Somewhere learning the square root of pi

It's math, so technically I'm still studying.

10. In a therapy session

Honestly, I'm probably going to need all the therapy I can get after I'm forced to drop out of college and become a mail man so why not get a head start.

I rather get my heart broken three times, thrown in a garbage can, forced to listen to Fergie at the Superbowl on repeat for the rest of my life, and become lactose intolerant than prepare for the most dreadful part of the semester for a college student.

Epic Creation Myths: Norse Origins Unveiled

What happened in the beginning, and how the heavens were set in motion.

The Norse Creation Myth

Now, I have the everlasting joy of explaining the Norse creation myth. To be honest, it can be a bit kooky, so talking about it is always fun. The entire cosmos is included in this creation myth, not just the earth but the sun and the moon as well. This will be a short retelling, a summary of the creation myth, somewhat like I did with Hermod's ride to Hel.

8tracks radio

We all scroll through the radio stations in the car every once in a while, whether its because we lost signal to our favorite one or we are just bored with the same ol' songs every day. You know when you're going through and you hear a song where you're just like "I forgot this existed!" and before you know it, you're singing every word? Yeah, me too. Like, 95% of the time. If you're like me and LOVE some good throwback music, here's a list of songs from every genre that have gotten lost in time, but never truly forgotten.

Summer is hot and humid, and it's almost like summer was made specifically to drink the refreshing, cold, crisp wonderful, delicious, nutritious nectar of the gods. Which is none other than beer; wonderful cold beer. With summer playing peek-a-boo around the corner while we finish up this semester, it's time to discuss the only important part of summer.
