5 Reasons Barnes & Noble Is Every Book Lover's Paradise

So if you're a book lover like me you never pass up an opportunity to poke your head into a Barnes & Noble. They are the ultimate mecca for bookies everywhere. Even if you're not a book person I'm sure there is something you can find that you love there. The following is a list of why Barnes & Noble is the best place ever.

1. The staff are super nice.

I feel like you can strike up a conversation with any employee at Barnes & Noble and leave with a super new best friend. They compliment your purchases and make you feel super cool.

2. They have a bangin' variety to choose from.

I don't know about you guys but I'm a manga lover, and I wouldn't choose any other book retailer to feed my addiction to Japanese culture. Not only that, they have everything from humor to politics to toys and games to CDs and Vinyl.

3. COFFEE!

Aaaaaand...it's Starbucks coffee to boot! Plus you can get sandwiches and sweets there too! They also have pretty nice seating areas where us college peoples can work on their homework or just chill with the crew.

4. Great kids events.

This has two great purposes. 1. To entertain your child. 2. To let you roam the store childfree. But seriously they do events like this one with characters and such for the kids and they also do reading circles. It's just so nice to see them caring about kids in the community, especially when some have a tough home life and this is their only way to get out to have fun.

5. Most are architecturally different.

This one is so cool! I've literally never seen a Barnes & Noble like this before.

This is the standard Barnes & Noble look, but it's classic and beautiful.

This one has three floors! THREE FLOORS! Need I say more?!

This one looks like its attached to a mall or something, but it's still neat because they have to fit all those books in much less space.

If I have learned one thing in my lifetime, it is that friends are a privilege. No one is required to give you their company and yet there is some sort of shared connection that keeps you together. And from that friendship, you may even find yourself lucky enough to have a few more friends, thus forming a group. Here are just a few signs that prove your current friend group is the ultimate friend group.

When it comes to television, there’s very few sets of on-screen siblings that a lot of us can relate to. Only those who have grown up with siblings knows what it feels like to fight, prank, and love a sibling. Ross and Monica Geller were definitely overbearing and overshared some things through the series of "Friends," but they captured perfectly what real siblings feel in real life. Some of their antics were funny, some were a little weird but all of them are completely relatable to brothers and sisters everywhere.

College is a great place to meet people, especially through Greek life. If you look closely at sororities, you'll quickly see there are many different types of girls you will meet.

1. The Legacy.

Her sister was a member, her mom was a member, all of her aunts were members, and her grandma was a member. She has been waiting her whole life to wear these letters and cried hysterically on bid day. Although she can act entitled at times, you can bet she is one of the most enthusiastic sisters.

Every kid in college and/or high school dreams of summer the moment they walk through the door on the first day back in September. It becomes harder and harder to focus in classes and while doing assignments as the days get closer. The winter has been lagging, the days are short and dark, and no one is quite themselves due to lack of energy and sunlight. Let's face it: life is ten times better in the summertime.
