I Believe In Book Fairies
The Book Fairies

The book fairy movement is growing slowly but surely world wide thanks to people who love books. Part of the reason why the movement is so successful, I think, is due to the fact that anyone can join in. Young or old, famous (such as the actress and feminist Emma Watson) or just little, nobody me from Ironton, Ohio. It doesn't matter who you are or where you come from or what sparked your passion for literacy, as long as you have an extra favorite book and a want to spread the joy of reading it to someone else, you can get you book fairy wings. I first found out about the Book Fairies on "National Women's Day" when I saw Emma Watson post videos and pictures of herself on social media leaving women activist books with Book Fairy Trademark stickers and ribbons all over locations and monuments honoring famous women who have changed the world one way or another over the years.

I loved the idea that someone, somewhere had found a way so simple and effortless to spread love and literacy had somehow become large enough for someone like Emma Watson to support and be an active part of. Since then, not only has Watson done many more book drops of her own, but I have also gotten some wings of my own. I have closely followed the Book Fairy Worldwide pages and I have dropped quite a few books off in my months of planning. The feeling of pure glee and mystery when you return to the scene and see that your book is gone never gets old.

I strive to leave books that were just a pure joy to read and those that honestly helped me through some part of my life in hopes that they will do the same for someone else. In the world we live in today, it is hard to find people who truly appreciate the power of the written word and it is people out there like the common Book Fairy who give me hope that one day, a little girl somewhere in this world will be reading a book and eating up every word like I once did and still do to this day.

Today I started my third week of college at Minnesota State Moorhead. I have survived welcome week, finding my classes on the first day, and being an awkward loner in the dining hall. Even though I have yet to be here for a month, I have already experienced many thoughts and problems that only a new college student can relate to.

"Make sure to get involved when you're in college!"

We've all heard some variation of this phrase, whether it came from parents, other family members, friends, RAs, or college-related articles. And, like many clichés, it's true for the most part. Getting involved during your college years can help you make friends, build your resume, and feel connected to your campus. However, these commitments can get stressful if you're dealing with personal issues, need to work, or aren't sure how to balance classes and everything else going on during the semester.

In college, one of the essential things to have is friends. Yes, textbooks, a laptop, and other school supplies are important but friends are essential. Friends are that support system everybody needs. The more friends you have the better the support system you have. But you also have someone to share experiences with. And don’t settle for just one or two friends because 8 out of 10 times they are busy and you are studying all alone. Or they have other friend groups that do not include you. Don’t settle for just one or two friends; make as many friends as you can. After the first couple of weeks of college, most friend groups are set and you may be without friends.

For a moment your world is spinning. The phone alarm has just scared you awake and you’re flooded by daunting thoughts of the day ahead. You have three assignments due and little time to work on them because of your job. You’re running late because you’ve hit snooze one to many times after yesterday’s long hours. You dizzily reach for a hoodie, craving its comfort, and rush for a speedy exit, praying you will have time to pick up coffee. Does this sound familiar?

Finals week is upon us. It is a magical time of year during which college students everywhere flock to the library in attempt to learn a semester's worth of knowledge in only a week.

While these newbies wander aimlessly around the first floor, hopelessly trying to find a table, the OGs of the library are already on the third floor long tables deep into their studies.
