Books I'm Going To Read In 2017

Many people set goals when the New Year rolls around. As a bookworm, one of my goals this year is to read some new books whether they came out the following year or came out a few years ago. Also, I always love reading the same books I already read before like the Harry Potter series. The reason is I like to revisit the characters and world which the characters reside in.

So, Take a look at the list of books I’m going to read during 2017!

1. The Zodiac series by Romina Russell (Zodiac, Wandering Star, Black Moon)

I just started reading the first book of this series, and I like it so far. It’s about how our zodiac signs have their own society, and apparently there was a thirteenth sign. I got interested in reading it after I saw how cool the cover was.

2. The Book Thief by Markus Zusak

I had never read the book, but after seeing the trailer of the movie, it made me curious to read it. This book is about a girl who was in a foster home, and she stole books, so she could learn how to read. It also took place during World War II. I’m not into a lot of historical fiction books, but if there’s a time period that I’m familiar with, then I read the book that took place during that time period.

3. Doctor Who: Time Lord Fairy Tales by Justin Richards

If you like Doctor Who and fairy tales, here’s a book that has both. My boyfriend got me this book for Christmas, and I honestly can’t wait to read it. This book has different fairy tales, like "Little Red Riding Hood", "Snow White and the Seven Dwarves", and many more.

4. Nicholas Sparks Books: See Me, The Best of Me, and The Choice

I haven’t read See Me and The Choice, but I will read them during 2017. I’ve read The Best of Me, and I would love to read it again as one of my re-reads.

5. The Hunger Games Trilogy by Suzanne Collins (The Hunger Games, Catching Fire, Mockingjay)

Since I wasn’t able to read it during my Christmas break, but I mentioned in my article “List of Books I Might Read During My Christmas Break” that if I don’t read some of the books on the list, they will end up in my books to read during 2017.

6. Firstlife by Gena Showalter

I haven’t read this book either, but I would love to read it because the cover is very interesting and the story sounds really interesting as well. It’s about a life during the afterlife.

7. Everland by Wendy Spinale

This book is a fairy tale retelling of Peter Pan. Since I’m a big Peter Pan fan, I thought to myself “I have to read this book.” And I’m so excited to read it.

8. The Lunar Chronicles by Marissa Meyer (Cinder, Scarlet, Cress, Winter, Fairest, Stars Above)

Speaking of fairy tale retellings, this book series has different fairy tales with a science fiction twist. I got interested in reading Cinder when I first saw it, and I wasn’t sure if I would like it or not. Now, since it’s a series, I would like to read the rest of them as well.

9. Passenger by Alexandra Bracken

I got interested in reading this book since I saw how awesome the cover is. The book tells the story of a girl who was kidnapped by people from this ship. I mean, when I read the plot of the book, it confused me a bit, and from the cover, it looked like a pirate ship in the reflection of the city in the bottle. Despite the confusion, I’m interested in reading it.

I would add more books to my list, but I would end up changing my mind about what I truly want to read during 2017. Anyway, I’m excited about reading the books that I have never read before, and the books that I have read before as well.

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. For some students, it's their first time in the library all semester, maybe ever. Others have slaved away many nights under the fluorescent lights, and are slightly annoyed to find their study space being invaded by amateurs. 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. Here is a few signs that you may live in the library, whether you'd like to admit it or not.
