25 Things All Book Worms Can Relate To

Being a book worm has its ups and downs. Reading books transports you into a different dimension and gives you a new way to look at life. You can dive into the world of the elves or find romance in a romantic novel. No matter what you read, literature is beautiful and it's amazing to see what someone can create using an alphabet consisting of twenty six letters. On the other hand, the emotional withdrawal from finishing a book is hard to get over. I mean, how do you move on after you’ve just placed yourself into a world that isn’t entirely yours? That’s right, you don’t. Not to mention that having a lot of books means that you're going to need a lot of space. Having a dirty room is one thing, but having a room full with books is another.

Reading books upon books is a task many people do not enjoy. There are plenty of people who hate to read and not enough book worms. It’s a popular opinion to find reading boring but to those who enjoy to read, it’s an escape from reality and a wonderful experience. As with any other hobby, being a book worm is a full time job but definitely an enjoyable one.

Here are 25 things all bookworms can relate to.

  2. Even then, going to book stores is your paradise.
  3. You spend all your money on books.
  4. You have books you haven't read but you still buy more.

1. The Christmas decorations

I am that person who will decorate directly after Thanksgiving is over. This year, my roommates and I put the tree up in our apartment before we even left for Thanksgiving break. It is a great stress reliever for me to just sit in my living room and work on the huge amount of work I have before the semester is over.

Writing a paper is never fun and is rarely rewarding. The writer's block, the page requirement, be specific, but don’t summarize, make sure you fixed any grammatical errors, did you even use spellcheck? and analyze, analyze, analyze.

Papers can be a major pain. They take up so much time and effort that by the end of the process you hate yourself and you hate the professor for making life so difficult. Questions of your existence start roaming in your mind. Am I even cut out for college if I can’t write a single paper? Am I even capable of taking care of myself if I lack the energy to open my laptop and start typing?
