10 Reasons Spring Is The Best Season Of Them All

All of the seasons have different aspects about them that make people look forward to their arrival. However, by the end of that season, you're pretty much over those aspects and ready to push them off for a year. Summer has vacations and fun outdoor activities but can also have unbearable heat. Fall has pumpkins and leaves but can get busy quickly. Winter has holidays, but it's so gray afterward. Spring, on the other hand, has the perfect combination of weather, temperatures, activities, and colors that I look forward to every year. It is clearly the best season out of the four.

1. Sunshine

Yes, I know it generally rains for a good portion of spring too, but there's just something so warm and inviting about the sun that makes me look forward to all the fun/relaxing things I can do in the summer (in between working, of course; we are adults who need to pay rent after all).

2. "Longer" days

This could technically fall under the last category, but I'm in charge of this listicle. Anyways, more daylight means increased productivity. I enjoy looking out the window at 7:30 pm and thinking "It's still light outside?"

3. More sun = more serotonin

Seasonal blues? I don't know her anymore.

4. Babies

'Tis the season for babies to be born! Kittens, puppies, chicks, bunnies, ducklings... need I say more?

5. Flowers

Flowers offer up some much-needed color to the world after a dark and dreary winter, some help out the bee population, and they smell nice too! I'm willing to deal with the annoying effects of my pollen allergy as long as I have flowers.

6. Wardrobe switch

Goodbye, sweaters and boots; I'm trading you in for crop tops and sunglasses. It's not you, it's me. I'll see you in the fall.

7. More activity choices

Since the weather is nicer, there's more things to do and places to go!

8. Never a better time to feel like a college student

I don't know about you, but I never feel more like a college student than when I'm surrounded by my fellow students throwing frisbees, soaking up the sun, and just enjoying the day. It's just a stereotypical feeling that really accentuates the college experience for me which in turn makes me more motivated to tackle some schoolwork.

9. Farmers markets

Time to break out my picnic basket and clear my Saturdays, baby!

10. It's a time of new beginnings

OK, there's a lot of different times of the year where people like to start fresh (New Years, a new school year, etc.), but spring is the rebirth of things after they've been hiding away all winter! Now is the perfect time to get out there and take initiative! After all, there is more daylight now.

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.

beer on the beach

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. And if you haven't already guessed, it's beer. There are few things I take more seriously than my beer, in order are: sports... and beer. Here are my favorite summer brews:
