Binge Reading

Just as Addicting as Netflix

Few things are more satisfying than finishing a book in one sitting. The feeling of completely immersing yourself in a story and getting all the way to the end without disruption. There’s really nothing quite like it. The book doesn’t even have to be good, it’s the act of reading that makes the experience great. This binge reading has consumed my life for some time now.

I read a lot. It’s sort of my thing. These days I mostly read for school, and I enjoy those readings for the most part. But there is always a part of me that wants to be reading something fun, even when I do not have time. To make sure I get a little bit of fun in my life I try to keep a couple books on hand that I can read to unwind after a long day.

Because I have so little time, I rarely get to devour a book in one sitting. I almost never feel that satisfaction of sitting down with a book and not moving until I finish.

Unfortunately, I tend to have the worst timing when it comes to binge reading. During stressful times I often turn to reading as a way to relax, and then I get swept up in the stories. I will stay up all night to finish a book if I like it enough.

Last semester I read a whole 5 book series during finals week.

I have found that binge reading is almost as life consuming as binge watching my favorite shows on Netflix, and sometimes I do both at the same time. There are worse ways to spend my free time I suppose.

Binge responsibly, my friends!

Dear High School Friend Group,

My sweet angels, where would I be without you guys. We all grew up together because we either met in middle school or high school and watched each other grow up and get "old." We got to go to prom together and then graduate together. Then watched each other as we continued our lives in college, joining sororities and meeting people who will impact our lives forever. It all has happened so fast.

Oh college, we can’t live with you, but we can’t live without you. It’s a love/hate relationship, really. College is an experience that no one can ever prepare you for, and maybe that’s a good thing. You never really expect any of the things that college encompasses until you are there. College is fun, but don’t have too much fun. C’s get degrees, but they don’t get you into graduate school.

Blair Waldorf

The "Gossip Girl" series may be over, but Blair Waldorf's iconic character lives in our hearts forever. Blair was the queen of the Upper East Side, and a character you either loved or hated. She taught us everything we needed to know about life, love and of course, how to score a Chuck Bass. So the next time you feel a bit lost and are in need of guidance, look no further than to the Queen B herself.

As I spend my Sunday avoiding my homework and other adult responsibilities, I realized that I've watched this series over and over about a million times. Sadly, there isn't a Blair quote I don't know, so I came up with a list of a few favorites. You know you love her...xoxo

College is an endless cycle of crappy, sleepless nights, tedious, boring lectures, and hours of never-ending piles of homework.

Summer: a time (usually) free from school work and a time to relax with your friends and family. Maybe you go on a vacation or maybe you work all summer, but the time off really does help. When you're in college you become super close with so many people it's hard to think that you won't see many of them for three months. But, then you get that text saying, "Hey, clear your schedule next weekend, I'm coming up" and you begin to flip out. Here are the emotions you go through as your best friend makes her trip to your house.
