7 YA Books You Should Read In Middle School
Perpetual Page-Turner

I never really took to middle school. Being treated like a kid when you were expected to act like an adult bothered me. To get through those three years that I'd rather forget, which is a whole new topic, I read a lot. And I mean A LOT. A lot as in I had a very close relationship with the librarian who I still talk with today ever though I am in the 11th grade, you get it. So here are seven books that you should read if you are a total book nerd like me.

1. Dork Diaries

Girl drama has lasted for thousands of years and will last another thousand years, it's just a fact of life. But Russell's series gives us numerous plot lines where the "dork" navigates herself out of social problems that she assumed, like every teenage girl, ruin her life.

2. The Total Tragedy of a Girl Named Hamlet

I saw this book in a bookshelf in the hallway and just loved the title. It's an pretty accurate description of the book. Middle school, genius sister, and Shakespearean parents this book has a very interesting plot.

3. Ten Ways to Make My Sister Disappear

I just read this book to get new ideas ( I have a little sister ) but fell in love with it's cute storyline.

4. Every Judy Blume Book

Judy Blume prepares you for those moments we all reach in our adolescent lives. Emma Stone said it and so do I.

5. The Selection Series

This basic situation is similar to The Bachelor but with actual feelings. Girl drama, love triangles, and terrorists what more do you want?

6. Percy Jackson

Rick Riordan has done such an amazing job by using Greek mythology to create a present-day story. This series was my first love in terms of books.

7. Harry Potter

The Harry Potter series is the Bible of the fictional world ( I hope nobody gets offended by this) it's just a fact. You need to read and love it to pass life.

Dear Mom,

You took care of me and my brothers our entire lives and you still continue to! I will not be able to truly grasp all of the hard work that you put into this family until I create my own one day. But, I know that there are plenty of times I forgot to give you a simple thank you or an appreciative smile. I thank you for everything that you have done for me and will continue to do for me. Here are some examples of those times where you had my back and I forgot to pat your back for saving me:

College is hard. As people ages 18-22, we’re just trying to figure out what we’re doing with our lives, our careers, our eating habits, exercise routines, sleep patterns, and other necessities for adult life. We definitely don’t take proper care of ourselves; it’s basically impossible when we have essays, tests and readings due and somehow we’re supposed to eat right, exercise and sleep. We’re doomed to get sick. I have zero experience in science but when I get sick there are certain things I do to make myself better.

Now that it seems “talking” is the new way to date, and will stay that way until another idiotic term is used to describe the people who can’t settle down and just date someone, I feel as if it’s time to go over the unwritten rules of “talking.”

Rule 1. Having feeling without feeling.
