3 Reasons to Read a Manga
Loquaciousreaders via Blogspot

Humans have invented many things to entertain themselves. Activities ranging from outdoor games like football, soccer, baseball to indoor games like chess, monopoly and so on to reading books. But, let me focus on the reading part. There are many things we read for entertainment like magazines, newspaper, blogs, comics etc. These are the items we are familiar with but I want to talk about a material that is popular, but not as popular as these. Manga.

I’m pretty sure most of you have heard, and luckily, have read at least one. Manga is technically the Japanese version of a comic, which you read from right to left. If you have not read one yet, then I’ll give you three reasons why you should.

1. It’s an awesome time pass

Haven’t you had a day where you had watched everything on Netflix, played all games, and there were no good books to read? Well, I’ll tell you a secret. You should try manga. Manga has a wide variety to choose from. It includes all sort of genres too.

2. Manga tends to have an awesome story line

Well, I mostly read manga for the story. The story is mostly good and you get hooked very quickly. The stories are illustrated with great details too. Stories are usually different from one manga to another so it’s always something new to read.

3. They are very relatable to your life

Besides all the big eyes, cute faces and spiky hair, the gist of the story is so relatable. The ups and downs of life, the happy moments, and the depressing moments are all represented properly which makes the events happening in manga very real. It feels like you’ve been through the same situation as the character in the manga which makes it even more fun to read.

If you have decided to read one by now, please do so promptly. You might have been missing a whole lot of good things.

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.
