Just the other day, I had gone to Barnes & Noble and picked out a few books to engross myself with this summer. While I was there, I stumbled along the aisle with all of the popular "middle-school" reads and it made me think back to my middle school years and all of the amazing series of books I had read.

So for every person who grew up and went to middle school during the 2000s, this reading list is for you.

4. A Series of Unfortunate Events

5. American/Michigan Chillers

6. Goosebumps

7. Little House on the Prairie

11. The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants


12. The Uglies


13. 13 Reasons Why


14. Looking for Alaska


15. Diary of Anne Frank


16. The Babysitters Club


17. Bailey School Kids


18. Magic Tree House


19. The Berenstain Bears

Taylor Swift's Eras Tour is What I Hope Heaven Feels Like

By: James McDonald

A three-and-a-half-hour runtime. Nine Eras. Eleven outfit changes. Three surprise songs. Zero breaks. One unforgettable evening. In the past century, no other performer has put on an electric performance quite like Taylor Swift, surpassing her fans ‘wildest dreams’. It is the reason supporters keep coming back to her shows each year. Days later, I’m still in awe of the spectacle ‘Miss Americana’ puts on every few days in a new city. And, like one of Taylor’s exes, has me smiling as I reminisce about the memories of the night we spent together.

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.

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?
