19 Things Every Bookworm Knows To Be True

Summer is almost here, and if you're anything like me, you're most excited for the days when you get to read six or seven hours straight instead of soaking up the sun on a boat like normal people. If you're anything like me, you're a self proclaimed bookworm, and you're dang proud of it. Here's a few things every bookworm definitely knows to be true...


1. Walking into a bookstore is like waking up on Christmas morning, only 100x better.

2. Until you realize you only have enough money to buy one out of the 26 books you've grabbed off of the bookshelf.

3. Lending your book to someone is dangerous... and you usually have rules which include no eating or drinking when reading it.

4. But you stopped lending books to your friends after one of them lost or ruined your favorite book.

5. You can usually read for hours on end without getting sick of whatever it is that you're reading.

6. You take pride in your bookshelf and admire it often... that's normal, right?

7. But despite how amazing your collection is, you find yourself in dire need of more books.

8. And you even aspire to have not just a bookshelf, but a library like Prince Adam's someday.

9. You simply don't understand people who don't like to read.

10. People who've seen the movie but haven't read the book tend to drive you crazy.

11. You usually get excited when your favorite book is made into a movie though...

12. Until you realize that they'll probably ruin or screw up everything in the book, and then we also have the problem stated in #10.

13. You grow unusually attached to characters, who you have to remind yourself are not actually real.

14. You don't just shed a tear when your favorite character dies, but you full on mourn the tragedy.

15. And you know all too well the feeling of panic when there's only 10 pages left to resolve whatever is going on in the book.

16. You get frustrated when people don't get you a book as a gift, even though you gave them a giant list to chose from.

17. So you order books online instead and get a little too excited when they arrive at your door.

18. You probably know that your addiction is turning into a problem because you'd rather read than socialize...

19. But in all reality, you're proud to call yourself a bookworm.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
