5 Books to Read Over Winter Break
media cache

We all know there comes a time during winter break after the holidays that we all have nothing to do.It is one of the times of the year where you can actually read what you want to. I have some that I recommend you read this winter break.

1. Eat, Pray, Love by Elizabeth Gilbert


If you want a book to inspire you to take different turn of events in your life I think this is a great read. Personally, this book just makes me want to pick up and start travelling until the travel bug goes away (but does it really ever go away?). Also after you read it you can treat yourself and watch the movie. I think it's a win win situation.

2. Love, Rosie by Cecila Ahern

If you are into the cheesy corny unexpected expected love story then this is definitly the book for you. The book is written differently in the form of letter and emails.Even though the storyline is your typical cliche it is a page turner.

3. The Choice by Nicholas Sparks

This is also another cheesy book, however, it is a much easier read. Nicholas Sparks is never able to fail the romatic and cliche bits, which are included in the book.

4. Year of Yes by Shonda Rimes

This book has personally on my list since the summer. My goal is to read it through winter break and try to use it to continue my own journey with positivity. I think it would also be a great idea if you're starting to think of some good New Years' resolutions.

5. The Last Lecture by Randy Pausch

This is definitly one of the books I will always recommend people to read. It is one of those good reads that will change your perspective on life, and might even change your attitude towards certain situations throughout life.

18 Things I Want To Do Now That I'm 18

I'm technically an adult, so I'm legally required to live a little, right?

For the entirety of my high school career, I was always seen as the goody-two-shoes. I never got in trouble with a teacher, I kept stellar grades, and when I wasn't doing extracurricular activities, I was at home studying. Even when I did go out, it was usually with a bunch of fellow band geeks. The night would end before 11:00 PM and the only controversial activity would be a fight based on who unfairly won a round of Apples-to-Apples when someone else clearly had a better card (I promise I'm not still holding a grudge).

Now that I'm officially an adult, I want to pursue some new things. I want to experience life in a way that I never allowed myself to do prior to entering college. These are the years that I'm supposed to embark on a journey of self-discovery, so what better way to do that than to create a bucket list?

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.
