As a college student, it can become really easy to become a pessimist. While sometimes it seems like nothing goes right, there are days where I have so much to be thankful for. Last semester I started this habit where I would post on my Instagram story about all of the things I was thankful for that day. While sometimes it was hard to come up with things, most of the time it was so easy to remember all of the good things in my life. Doing this really made me realize how grateful I was for the people, experiences, and memories of my first year of college. Realizing all the happy things in my life has made me realize that while life isn't so pretty sometimes, it's really great most of the time.

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.
