From sea to shining sea, the United States was uniquely positioned for an incredible Aurora Borealis display on Thursday, Oct. 10, 2024, going into Friday, Oct. 11. It was the second time this year after an historic geomagnetic storm in May 2024. Those Northern Lights were visible in Europe and North America, just like this latest rendition.

Content warning: This article contains descriptions of suicide/suicidal thoughts. When you are feeling down, please know that there are many reasons to keep living. 1. You won't see the sunrise or have your favorite breakfast in the morning. Instead, your family will mourn the sunrise because it means another day...

1. It's easy to be fooled by shiny things. Tamatoa created a liar filled with shiny things simply for the purpose of tricking fish to enter and become his food. He too experiences a lesson in how easy it is to be tricked by shiny things when Moana distracts him by covering herself in glowing algae so Maui can grab his hook.

Ah, the infamous question that we’ve heard all too often. It comes up in all different kinds of scenarios, whether from a friend who’s trying to set you up, a relative trying to embarrass you at a family function, or maybe even a coworker trying to set you up with their son. The question is harmless and in most cases has innocent intentions behind it. But when you really think about it, this is an extremely stupid question to ask, and an even more stupid question to answer.

Care packages filled with food, coffee, snacks, and more can make a college student's week. But what about letters from friends, drawings from younger family members, or homemade treats? What would you include in a care package for a college student in your life? Here are my 10 care package ideas:

You deserve a great thank you. Never would I have thought a few years ago that I would be such a huge yoga fanatic, that I would be hitting the gym almost every day to get to class, and that I would be forming all these amazing relationships with so many incredible people who also share a love for you. You've enhanced my way of life in numerous ways that I need to thank you for.

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.

Since I was about seven years old, I have always been fascinated by the story of the Titanic. I have gone to numerous museums and exhibits, read an endless amount of books, and watched countless documentaries about the infamous ship, and I still never get tired of constantly learning new information about it. In recent years, many new studies have been done about the sinking of the Titanic, leading to many new theories about exactly what happened in those fateful early hours of April 15, 1912.

Happy International Beer Day! The 2024 edition couldn't have come at a better time, as it seems we all need some downtime and the chance to throw back a few drinks. Celebrations are underway from Charlotte to Cincinnati, and across the globe. Celebrated annually on the first Friday of August...

What is organic beer? Is it better for your health? These are the questions that have been on my mind. I am searching for the answer to these questions while also finding out if there are any other benefits associated with drinking organic beers. This post will explore the benefits and consequences of drinking organic beer.

I like to view beer as America's drink. Sometimes beer can get a bad rep because you can get a beer belly or it's carbonated. Some people don’t like the taste. I hear you people who don't like it, but I just don't really understand it. I personally think that there is simply lots to love about an ice cold beer.

Ah, beer. It is probably the first alcohol you tried when you were definitely not old enough to and most likely the influencer behind all those poor decisions you made at swaps (I’m looking at you, Natty Light.) In college, beer is seen more as a vehicle to get drunk as opposed to a craft to be enjoyed.

Sometimes you can't think of the perfect caption for your Instagram post. I love using lyrics as my captions because there's so many great lines in songs that just seem to fit in the moment. Here are some lyrics that could work for your selfie or pictures of you with your friends!

Anyone who was born and raised in New Jersey (or anywhere really) knows of Bruce Springsteen, whether or not they like him is a whole other situation. I hope that his hundreds of classic rock songs and famous high energy performances, even in his sixties he can put on better concerts than people half his age, are at least recognizable to people of all ages. Love him or hate him (I identify with the former) you have to admit that some of his songs and interviews have inspirational quotes and lyrics.

We all have been through negative and positive experiences, but they have shaped us for the better. Having survived them, our outlook of life might have changed. The underlying factor that allows us all to overcome difficult times is the force of faith. Faith is the complete trust in a higher power and the unknown future. The upside is undeniable – having faith allows you to gain all of these benefits:

Yes, the math major is doing a math-related post. What are the odds? I'll have to calculate it later. Many people have probably learned about the Fibonacci sequence in their high school math classes. However, I thought I would just refresh everyone's memories and show how math can be beautiful and apply to physical things everywhere around us with stunning examples.

This poem was inspired by long-distance and taking a leap of faith in order to take care of myself. Self-care is incredibly important, and sometimes doing the best thing for yourself means having to put your needs ahead of others, and if you're like me, that's one of the hardest things to do. However, making a decision that's good for you might hurt someone else, and if you want to preserve the friendship with that person, it's important to make sure they understand why you made the decision you did.

You've been working hard all semester, no doubt, between projects, tests, labs, and whatever extracurriculars and other obligations you have going on. Maybe you're still as starry-eyed, impassioned, and ready-to-roll as you were at the beginning of the semester (in which case, all the more power to you!), but chances are that you're starting to feel a little run down and a little less motivated to put down school-related keystrokes.

Myths began before even the most basic understanding humans had of life. They started in ancient cultures, often as a result of visions from unknown divinity, voices heard in the howling of wind, hope for rain and for food, success in the hunt, and nearly infinite other reasons. Myths are...

April showers are bringing in those May flowers. May is here and it is one of the most exciting months out of the year for many reasons. There's so many important events going on in May and so many different things to do. Here's 11 reasons May is the best month out of the year.
