15 Books And Series That Got Me Into Reading

When I was younger, I read all the time as most of us probably did, thus books are very nostalgic to me. When I think of a lot of these titles, I am brought back to so many places: an elementary school book fair, a middle school reading class, and even to high school testing time. These books helped mold my childhood and adolescence in some shape or form, and I think a lot of people can relate. Here are the most memorable titles from throughout my younger years:

1. Anything Dr. Seuss, obviously

2. Magic Tree House 

My personal favorite was Tonight on the Titanic.

3. Goosebumps 

4. Scary Stories to Tell in the Dark

5. Junie B. Jones 

6. The Doll People

I remember when anticipating the release of The Runaway Dolls was the only thing on my mind.

7. Anything Shel Silverstein 

The Giving Tree and Where the Sidewalk Ends in particular.

8. The Phantom Tollbooth

9. Diary of a Wimpy Kid

10. Dear America

11. A Series of Unfortunate Events 

12. Hunger Games 

13. Percy Jackson & the Olympians

14. Anything John Green 

The Fault In Our Stars, Looking For Alaska, Will Grayson, Will Grayson--they're all great.

15. Divergent

It is that time of year again. Christmastime. It is one of my favorite seasons for a myriad of reasons. Here are just a few reasons why I love Christmas. This list is in no order of importance.

1. The Christmas decorations

I am that person who will decorate directly after Thanksgiving is over. This year, my roommates and I put the tree up in our apartment before we even left for Thanksgiving break. It is a great stress reliever for me to just sit in my living room and work on the huge amount of work I have before the semester is over.

Writing a paper is never fun and is rarely rewarding. The writer's block, the page requirement, be specific, but don’t summarize, make sure you fixed any grammatical errors, did you even use spellcheck? and analyze, analyze, analyze.

Papers can be a major pain. They take up so much time and effort that by the end of the process you hate yourself and you hate the professor for making life so difficult. Questions of your existence start roaming in your mind. Am I even cut out for college if I can’t write a single paper? Am I even capable of taking care of myself if I lack the energy to open my laptop and start typing?
