5 Books To Keep You On The Edge Of Your Seat During Winter Break
Food Tank

Now that you are home from school, finally done with finals, it's time to relax and recuperate on break.

While home, you're going to need something to do with all of your free time. There's nothing better than sitting down with a book and cuddling up next to the fire.

It's one of my favorite winter break activities. Most people who know me know that I have a passion for reading. I love books that grab you and draw you in all the way to the end.

So, if you're looking for a page-turner and something to keep you entertained and up all night, dive into a book below. The following are five books that you should consider:

1. It Ends With Us by Colleen Hoover

Oh, my goodness! OK, so another goodie by Colleen Hoover. My recent fav, the book will have you debating and feeling torn all the way until the last page. Do you love Ryle? Or do you love Atlas? What's a girl to do? The book covers some intense topics, but it really shows how sometimes people fall in love with those who hurt them. The book was really eye-opening.

2. The Couple Next Door by Shari Lapena

I actually just sat in my bed and yelled out loud as I read Lapena's book. I was physically shook. Do yourself a favor and order it right now, It was so twisted and full of turns, and I had no idea what I was in store for. It was honestly shocking and just when you have it figured out, you're smacked right in the face with another twist. Amazing and such a page-turner!

3. The Boy Who Sneaks In My Bedroom Window by Kirsty Moseley

If you're in the market for the sweet, typical love story, then Moseley's book is it. The book is one of my favorites. It's a love story, but it also gets way more intense and deep. It's a great read. While the book does have an undertone of darkness, it's a love story that you will adore. It has the lust, the love and the friendship. It's super cute.

4. Gone Girl by Gillian Flynn

OK, so kind of a throwback. I read it a while ago, but so many people haven't read it. The book is insane. My jaw hit the floor like 20 times while reading it. The book will have you feeling a whole bunch of emotions and it will consume your thoughts. Honestly, it is still one of my favorites.

5. A Stranger In The House by Shari Lapena

Another one of my recent reads, the book also satisfies a craving for a twisty, crazy read. The suspense will have you turning the pages faster and faster. Tom and Karen seem like they have the picture-perfect life, but trust me that they do not. Just you wait.

So go on, order the books and get reading!

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.
