Valhalla

Top 10 List

What is the Top 10 List?

The Valhalla Top 10 was an old tradition that’s been recently brought back to life. It’s a humorous list of 10 attributes in a wide variety of subjects. It could be anything from ‘top 10 mysteries at LSHS’ to ‘Top 10 ways to Procrastinate’ to ‘Top 10 reasons to read The Valhalla’. The top 10 list is far too versatile and entertaining to stay down for good.
