How to ... find true love

A lonely saturday night with a glas of red wine and a Nicholas Sparkes movie... that's your plan for tonight? Well, you won't find a breathtaking romance alone in your living room! And no, an imaginary date with Ryan Gosling does not count.

So... how to find true love?

#1: Well...

#2: I'd say...

#3: Erm, actually a good question!

#4: First of all...

#5: Nope. I'm out!

So back to that wine and Nicholas Sparkes, ladies. Love is probably the only disaster that can never be mastered! Not when you are single at least ;-)

How to ... prepare for Game of Thrones' season 4

Brace Yourselves! Season four is a little over a month away and the anticipation increases. But instead of staring into the void until April 6, here are some tips on how to make the best of the remaining time:

#1: Watch and re-watch the trailer 24/7  for 1 month and 11 days!

#2: Don't attend any weddings, chances are you might not make it to the season 4 premier.

#3: Braid your hair and/or grow your beard.

#4: Turn away from all your friends and find (un)suitable adversaries and antagonists to watch season 4 with you... that sets the right mood.

#5: Learn Valyrian. Not only will it help you to fully understand what's going on across the narrow sea, it is also a kick-ass skill on your CV. (Si kizy vasko v’uvar ez zya gundja yn hilas.)

How to ... survive being forever alone

There are many of us out there doomed to be forever alone. Here is a survival guide for lonely souls.

#1: Buy a human sized pillow, preferably a copy of an anime character. Pillows are good substitute for human warmth.

#2: Screw the outside world (it´s scary out there), stay inside and visit sites such as 9gag and reddit. That way you can interact with other loners, awesome right!

#3: Create and live though your successful The Sims character, just because we are social failures, it does not mean that our virtual alter egos should.

#4: Play dating games on PC or console that will give a realistic view on reality and will most definitely improve your social skills.

# 5: Master your forever alone situation

We brought everything safely to Erikshjälpen, Lund which concluded a wonderful warm, sunny and charitable day =)

How to ... know if you have Swag and how to get rid of it

Here are some healthy tips for people with SWAG on how to become a productive human being

#1: you people with SWAG do not understand the concept of pants! They are supposed to cover your UNDERWEAR, pull your pants up.

#2: NO, taking selfies with fake glasses does not make you a nerd nor does it make you seem intelligent, it makes you a poser and just a little bit of an idiot =)

#3: when anyone utters the word SWAG a dolphin dies, stop killing innocent dolphins, they are intelligent animals.

#4: stop using hashtags for everything

#5: follow the above guidelines, you will become a SWAG-less decent person and you will save countless dolphins, it´s a win win!

How to ... take defeat like a Swedish Viking

What I did after the Olympic Hockey Finals:

#1: Roared like a Viking and stuffed two snuffs under my lip

#2: After my Canadian roommate apologized for winning gold, took his gallon jar of maple syrup and flushed a lagom amount down the toilet

#3: Cooled off by going outside with nothing else but a bottle of Absolut and sitting on the snow on my bare pale Swedish scrawny ass

#4: Half a bottle later in negative degrees, I realized, Canada...

But we will still always have our women.
