As a creative writing minor, I have always been a big fan of reading. Now that the school year is starting up again, I know many people will want to make new resolutions. If you want to get into reading, here are 5 books you should consider.

1. Murder on the Orient Express by Agatha Christie

If you have or haven't seen the new Johnny Depp movie, Murder on the Orient Express, you're missing out. After seeing it, I purchased the book and it is honestly amazing. Definitely worth the read.

2. Red Rain by R.L. Stine

We all remember reading the Goosebumps series when we were kids and now that we're grown up, we can have an excuse to go back to our roots with this R.L. Stine adult novel. It'll take you back to the good ol' days.

3. Troublemaker by Leah Remini

This autobiography is incredibly interesting and informative. I learned so much about the world of Scientology and Leah Remini is hilarious.

4. The Danish Girl by David Ebershoff

I read this book a while back and it really opened my eyes to the world of a transgendered person and the effects that transitioning has on them and the people around them. A very interesting read.

5. Pretty Little Liars by Sara Shepard

If you really want to commit to a series, I've got the book for you. Pretty Little Liars is 16 books that will keep you on the edge of your seat. I will admit that they get a little crazy and irrational, but it is still a great series and an easy/light read.

These are books that I found are the most capable of transporting the reader to another world. If you aren't a bookworm like me, these books will still keep you interested and wanted more.

5 Things To Do That Are Better Than Writing A Paper

Don't waste your time trying to write that paper when there are so many more interesting things you could be doing.

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?

I can barely remember back when I was the only child. Most would say it’s because it is extremely difficult to remember things as a toddler but I would say it's because I was bored until my sister came along. My mother always says how important the "sister bond" is and with every year that passes I realize how right she is. Instead of writing a novel about all of the wonderful things there are about having a sister I decided to list a few of them instead.

It is the time of our lives that we are beginning to enter the adult world and most of us, if not all of us, have no idea what we are doing. It's like starting a video game, but skipping the tutorial. We're all just running around aimlessly hoping we accidentally do something right that moves us along the right path. Now that graduation has just happened, or is right around the corner for some of us, it's time to start thinking about how we are going to take care of ourselves once we are on our own.

If you’re anything like me, you love a good cup of coffee. My coffee always comes from Starbucks; I refuse to drink it from anywhere else. Over the years, it’s become one of my biggest addictions. So, if you are aware that you’re a Starbucks addict as well, or maybe you need to check to see if you’re an addict, here are seven ways to tell.

It can be overwhelming at times and it’s important to take a step a back and calmly think things over. Maybe gain some perspective. The following aren’t foolproof tips and may not apply to you, but I was able to find success with them (hope you do too!)
