5 Sappy Romance Novels To Read On The Beach (Or Anywhere, Really)
Simon Cocks

I love going to the beach, but I'm not the biggest fan of swimming in the ocean or laying down on a towel in an attempt to tan my pale white skin, which usually ends up burning anyway.

So, while the rest of my family is in the ocean or getting real tans, I can be found sitting in a beach chair, under an umbrella, fully engrossed in a book. Here's my list of romantic books to read this summer. Many of them I have read or plan to read this week at the beach on my vacation!

The Choice by Nicholas Sparks

If you're into sappy love stories like me, I would recommend reading anything by Nicholas Sparks, author of The Notebook, on the beach. The Choice is an intense love story and tearjerker which recently came out into a movie. I have read the book and seen the movie and have loved them both.


Me Before You by Jojo Moyes

I'm dying to read this book. One, because one of my closest friends just read it and said it was really good and I'm super jealous, and two, because it will be released in movie theaters on Jun. 3! If you haven't gotten a chance to watch the trailer, check it out:

This romantic novel even has a prequel, After You, which was recently released.


The Last Summer of You and Me by Ann BraShares

Ann BraShares, author of the The Sisterhood of Traveling Pants series, wrote The Last Summer of You and Me as her first novel intended for an adult audience. Based on the title, this novel sounds like a perfect book to read in the summer! I read it myself last year, so I can vouch for that.


Maybe Someday by Colleen Hoover

I stumbled across this book while browsing on Amazon. With over 3,000 reviews and a 4.5 star rating, I was curious as to what this novel was all about and was immediately drawn in by the description of this novel, which includes a musical aspect. The plot of Maybe Someday sounds like a classic love triangle, but based on the reviews, this novel seems to have had a lasting impact on young adults. This will definitely be the next book I order off of Amazon!


Something Borrowed by Emily Giffin

Giffin is tied with Sparks as my favorite author to read on the beach. Her novels are glamorous, comical, girly and romantic. Something Borrowed shows the power of love, friendships and the tough decisions we are faced with when the two don't go hand in hand. If you enjoy reading Something Borrowed, you can also watch the movie and read the prequel, Something Blue. Her new novel, First Comes Love, will be in stores on Jun. 28.

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.

There have been many lessons learned.

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.
