Books to Read Over Break

As we are approaching Christmas break, there are many days that go by with nothing to do. After I have finished watching my Netflix series or I am already sick of my family, there is one thing that keeps me sane. I will lie in bed the whole day and read an entire book. Now some of you may not like to read or may be thinking, why on earth would I read when I have a break to do anything? Well, I am just giving a suggestion on what to do to pass time until the night, or any activity that you might be looking forward to. Here are a couple super intriguing and suspenseful books that I just got done reading: "Tell Me," "Now or Never," and "Aftermath."



In the story "Tell Me," a woman in Savannah, Georgia was convicted of killing her oldest daughter and severely injuring her son and other daughter one night. She claims that a man came in the house and had a gun and shot them all, since she had a wound on her arm from a bullet that was shot at her. The prosecution argued that she wanted to get rid of her children with her boyfriend at the time. Now, twenty years later, her son is recanting his testimony.




In the story "Now or Never," a Boston police detective has to figure out if three murders of New England women revolve around one serial killer, or if they are all separate killings. Without any clues or evidence, he has nowhere to start. He contacts a popular star on an investigation to help him solve the crimes.





"Aftermath" is the first book in a three book series. This story is about a college woman who is an introvert, shy, and doesn’t have many social skills. She ends up tutoring the star soccer player that everyone says is the biggest player. After tutoring him for a while, she ends up realizing that he isn’t what everyone else makes him out to be, he is actually sweet and caring, nothing like what she had expected.





Here are just a couple books that might peek your interest. Lie down in your best one-day and try them out. I bet you will be surprised how long you can actually read for.

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.
