There are people who dislike reading, there are people who are indifferent, and there are people who absolutely love it. For those people who absolutely love reading, especially books and novels, there are certain traits that you may notice about people who are obsessed with books. Some of these traits may come off as strange, or even crazy, to the non book lover so here are some basic explanations to hopefully help those who associate with people obsessed with reading good books.

1. They will constantly be on a look out for a new, exciting book, or series they can spend hours reading, talking and thinking about.

Good books are not always easy to find, sometimes it takes some digging to find the perfect book, or series.

2. No matter if they are as super busy book lovers will always find a time to read, whether that means doing it while brushing their teeth, eating, or sitting on the toilet.

Multitasking is a common talent of book lovers, don't judge.

3. They will become emotionally attached to characters.

They will cry, laugh, or even fist pump for the characters they have fallen in love with, which may make them seem crazy but when you spend hours upon hours, days upon days, of reading about the details of a fictional characters life it's not to have some sort of emotional investment.

4. Book lovers will always say that the book(s) are better than the movie(s) created from them.

No matter if the movie does a decent job of living up to the book, it can never be better because there is no way to include every precious detail of a five hundred page novel into a two hour movie. Just don't even bother arguing.

5. They will read their favorite books multiple times.

It may seem strange that someone would want to read the same book twice, ten times, or twenty times. When you really love a book you can't help but want to relive that story again and see if there was anything you missed, or forgot about the fiftieth time around.

6. Libraries are the Disney World of books (but even better because they're free).

The library provides a quiet, but exciting opportunity to explore all kinds of adventures, places and people without even having to spend money or travel.

7. They will suffer a small (or large) form of heartbreak when an exceptionally good series comes to an end, even if it was a good end.

It will be hard for the book lover to accept the fact that they will never read a new story about their favorite character(s) again.

8. They may aspire, or daydream about writing their own book and being as successful as their favorite authors.

Most will come to the conclusion that it is no simple task to make up a whole other world, for unique characters, and interesting places.

9. Book lovers will fangirl over their favorite authors if given the chance.

It would be hard to not be in awe, or inspired by the person who created a place, with characters, and an amazing storyline that has become one of your favorite things in the entire world.

10. They will seek out people, (or force and beg those close to them), to read their favorite books so they can have someone to discuss the ups and downs of their favorite stories.

One of the best sentences you could ever say to a book lover is, "What did you think about so and so book?".

I think the hardest thing about going away to college is figuring out how to become an adult. Leaving a household where your parents took care of literally everything (thanks, Mom!) and suddenly becoming your own boss is overwhelming. I feel like I'm doing a pretty good job of being a grown-up, but once in awhile I do something that really makes me feel like I'm #adulting. Twenty-somethings know what I'm talking about.

I went to a small high school, like 120-people-in-my-graduating-class small. It definitely had some good and some bad, and if you also went to a small high school, I’m sure you’ll relate to the things that I went through.

1. If something happens, everyone knows about it

Who hooked up with whom at the party? Yeah, heard about that an hour after it happened. You failed a test? Sorry, saw on Twitter last period. Facebook fight or, God forbid, real fight? It was on half the class’ Snapchat story half an hour ago. No matter what you do, someone will know about it.

Chandler Bing

I'm assuming that we've all heard of the hit 90's TV series, Friends, right? Who hasn't? Admittedly, I had pretty low expectations when I first started binge watching the show on Netflix, but I quickly became addicted.

Without a doubt, Chandler Bing is the most relatable character, and there isn't an episode where I don't find myself thinking, Yup, Iam definitely the Chandler of my friend group.

Working with the public can be a job, in and of itself. Some people are just plain rude for no reason. But regardless of how your day is going, always having to be in the best of moods, or at least act like it... right?

1. When a customer wants to return a product, hands you the receipt, where is printed "ALL SALES ARE FINAL" in all caps.

2. Just because you might be having a bad day, and you're in a crappy mood, doesn't make it okay for you to yell at me or be rude to me. I'm a person with feelings, just like you.

3. People refusing to be put on hold when a customer is standing right in front of you. Oh, how I wish I could just hang up on you!
