35 Books To Add To Your Reading List

This summer, take the time to pick up a few books. Although we want to lay in bed and relax, stress ourselves out with summer classes, or work as much as we can to make money, there is always a little time to set aside to find a book you enjoy to read. Here are some book recommendations for those who are as big of a bookworm as me:

  1. "Nineteen Minutes," by Jodi Picoult
    This story, although very sad and hard to read at times, explains the life of a kid who was bullied his whole life, and what he does in order to get revenge. It tells the struggle of his family, the community around him, and himself as aftermath and opens your eyes to the idea that anything can happen, anywhere, at any time.
  2. "The Fault In Our Stars," by John Green
    A teenage girl who has cancer is portrayed throughout the novel and her life accepting it. Although in the beginning she believed she was, throughout the story she realizes that she is not alone, and truly never was.
  3. "Dirty Rush," by Taylor Bell
    For those in college, or those going to college and are interested in the Greek community at their upcoming school, this is a must read. It tells the story of a girl in college who received a bid in a sorority and her life as she is in the sorority
  4. "Paper Towns," by John Green
    How far would you go to find the one you love? This story focuses on a teenage boy who has always been in love with his childhood friend. As his friend goes missing, she leaves clues behind to explain where she is, seeing if he will go as far as finding her.
  5. "White Girl Problems," by Babe Walker
    This book is definitely for those who are looking for a good laugh, and relate to it. Babe Walker is hilarious, and tells her story and the problems she, and we all know we do to some extent too, she faces.
  6. "The Happiness Project," by Gretchen Rubin
    What is the key to happiness? A question that we all have wondered at one point in our lives. Well, this is the book for you if you are still wondering. Taking on the happiness project myself was one of the best experiences and most rewarding things I have ever done for myself.

Happy Reading!

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.
