10 Books Every Girl Must Read In College, And No, They're No Textbooks
Kendall Niblett

If you know me, I am a MASSIVE book nerd. My bookcase is overflowing, I have two boxes filled to the brim and I currently have two piles as tall as my puggle of books waiting to be read. I just keep accumulating even when I have a lot I haven't touched yet... I CAN'T HELP IT, OK!

Check out some of my current favorite books! They range far and wide in genres, but that's alright!

1. “I’ll Give You The Sun” by Jandy Nelson

A great book to read regarding sibling relationships and realizing who you are, this book pulls you in within sentences.

2. “Z” by Therese Anne Fowler

Zelda Fitzgerald, wife of author F. Scott Fitzgerald shows us who she is. I read this book within two days, Y'all.

3. “You Are A Badass” by Jen Sincero

Well, this is obviously a must-read. Sincero will give you all the confidence.

4. “The Sun And Her Flowers” by Rupi Kaur

Rupi Kaur does it again with this new book of hers. Famous for her work “Milk and Honey”, this new poetic novel will reel you in.

5. “The Paris Wife” by Paula McLain

So maybe I’m a bit of a history nerd… This also explores the life of an author’s wife, Hadley Hemingway. I also read through this one without blinking, and I loved seeing the “behind the scenes” of Hemingway and Hadley’s influence. She fascinated me to no end.

6. “Green Girl” by Kate Zambrano

If you’re looking for a different kind of book, I recommend this. The format itself is interesting because it goes back and forth between poetry and prose form. Ruth, the main character, makes your feelings go all sorts of ways.

7. “The Woman In Cabin 10” by Ruth Ware

Alright, thriller/mystery peeps, this one’s for you. This novel only reinforced my fear of cruises… but so worth the read.

8. “Misery” by Stephen King

This was actually my first Stephen King book to ever read, and it did not disappoint. The movie made after it, starring Kathy Bates, is something to watch as well. “Misery” just made me want to read more of King.

9. “Daughter of Deep Silence” by Carrie Ryan

A revenge thriller at its finest, this novel gives you all the feels. They say to never judge a book by its cover, but I could tell from the outside that the inside was phenomenal, And it was!

10. “It’s Kind Of A Funny Story” by Ned Vizzini

For those who enjoy tearjerkers, this is for you. Make sure to check out the movie, too!

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
