Books You Should Add To Your Summer Reading List
BrokeByBooks

Life can be hectic sometimes, and it can be hard to find time to indulge. As a college student, summer is the only time I really get to read for fun, and that's sad because when I was in high school I would read for fun everyday. I basically lived in my school library. During the school year I'm always busy with class, homework, and hanging out with friends. When I do have spare time I tend to watch a lot of Netflix because I don't have the attention span to read for fun. It's important to make time to read because there's many benefits like stress reduction, knowledge, memory improvement, vocabulary expansion, better writing skills, better focus and concentration, and stronger analytical thinking. The mental stimulation of reading can slow an maybe even prevent alzheimer's and dementia.

New year, new semester, not the same old thing. This semester will be a semester to redeem all the mistakes made in the previous five months.

1. I will wake up (sorta) on time for class.

Let's face it, last semester you woke up with enough time to brush your teeth and get to class and even then you were about 10 minutes late and rollin' in with some pretty unfortunate bed head. This semester we will set our alarms, wake up with time to get ready, and get to class on time!

And so it begins.

1. Walk in motivated and ready to rock

Camping out at the library is not for the faint of heart. You need to go in as a warrior. You usually have brought supplies (laptop, chargers, and textbooks) and sustenance (water, snacks, and blanket/sweatpants) since the battle will be for an undetermined length of time. Perhaps it is one assignment or perhaps it's four. You are motivated and prepared; you don’t doubt the assignment(s) will take time, but you know it couldn’t be that long.
