It's the new hit Netflix Original to be binged watched. Everyone is talking about it. I bet you can't go on Facebook or Twitter without seeing a meme or post about it. Though how many actually read the book? Did you even know it was a book before it was a TV series?

If you are like most of my friends who are immersing themselves into it that answer is probably no to one or both of those questions. So I have a challenge for you. Like Hannah Baker had a challenge for all those who listened to her tapes. My challenge for all of you is to read the book.


And here are 13 reasons why...

1. Because besides from Clay, everyone is described a lot differently in the book


2. You get more the kids side than the parents side


3. You become way more attached to ALL the characters


4. They missed some important details in the TV series


5. You learn more lessons from the story by reading the book than watching the show


6. You get mad at Hannah (you'll understand if you read it)


7. You'll feel just as bad as Clay does listening to Hannah's story


7. You feel like you've been best friends with Hannah for years


8. You can relate to some problems everyone in the book faces


9. It makes you see the world a little differently


10. Your imagination is a way better TV set than real life


11. When things get emotional in the book, it moves you to tears


12. Becuase Jay Asher is an amazing writer


13. Because Hannah would have wanted you to

Today I started my third week of college at Minnesota State Moorhead. I have survived welcome week, finding my classes on the first day, and being an awkward loner in the dining hall. Even though I have yet to be here for a month, I have already experienced many thoughts and problems that only a new college student can relate to.

"Make sure to get involved when you're in college!"

We've all heard some variation of this phrase, whether it came from parents, other family members, friends, RAs, or college-related articles. And, like many clichés, it's true for the most part. Getting involved during your college years can help you make friends, build your resume, and feel connected to your campus. However, these commitments can get stressful if you're dealing with personal issues, need to work, or aren't sure how to balance classes and everything else going on during the semester.

In college, one of the essential things to have is friends. Yes, textbooks, a laptop, and other school supplies are important but friends are essential. Friends are that support system everybody needs. The more friends you have the better the support system you have. But you also have someone to share experiences with. And don’t settle for just one or two friends because 8 out of 10 times they are busy and you are studying all alone. Or they have other friend groups that do not include you. Don’t settle for just one or two friends; make as many friends as you can. After the first couple of weeks of college, most friend groups are set and you may be without friends.

For a moment your world is spinning. The phone alarm has just scared you awake and you’re flooded by daunting thoughts of the day ahead. You have three assignments due and little time to work on them because of your job. You’re running late because you’ve hit snooze one to many times after yesterday’s long hours. You dizzily reach for a hoodie, craving its comfort, and rush for a speedy exit, praying you will have time to pick up coffee. Does this sound familiar?

Finals week is upon us. It is a magical time of year during which college students everywhere flock to the library in attempt to learn a semester's worth of knowledge in only a week.

Others have slaved away many nights under the fluorescent lights, and are slightly annoyed to find their study space being invaded by amateurs. While these newbies wander aimlessly around the first floor, hopelessly trying to find a table, the OGs of the library are already on the third floor long tables deep into their studies. Here is a few signs that you may live in the library, whether you'd like to admit it or not.
