Sometimes you have to reconnect with your roots to realize how little life has changed. These are books that I loved when I was younger and perfectly describe my life today.

1. "Green Eggs and Ham"

The cafeteria serves you some very strange-looking food. Try them. Try them, if you dare.

2. "Strega Nona"

The magical pot of pasta is actually ramen.

3. "Goodnight Moon"

This book title says it all: I just want to sleep and sleep some more.

4. "The Very Hungry Caterpillar"

When you have meetings, homework, classes, sports and work; sometimes meals get pushed to the side.

5. "Don't Let the Pigeon Drive the Bus!"

Or in this case, don't let your friends drive when they aren't sober, even if they have very good arguments as to why they should.

6. "A to Z Mysteries"

This should be self-explanatory. Some days, words are hard and letters do not seem to have meaning.

7. "Geronimo Stilton: All Because of a Cup of Coffee"

A cup … or six.

8. "The Adventures of Captain Underpants and the Attack of the Talking Toilets"

Because someone in your dorm plugged it, again.

9. "The Berenstain Bears' Trouble With Money"

All the trouble, all the time.

10. "Miss Nelson is Missing!"

When your teacher is suddenly and mysteriously not answering her email when you have a big question about the exam the next day...

11. "Alexander and the Terrible, Horrible, No Good, Very Bad Day"

We all have those days…

12. "The Little Engine That Could"

I think I can, I think I can. I think I can pass this test. I did it!
