A Bookworm's Review: 'Everything Everything' by Nicola Yoon
Rachel O'Shaughnessy

For as long as I could remember, I have always loved books. As a child, I would sit down with a book and devour them. Picture books, fairy tales, biographies. It has been an continuous love affair that I know will last my entire life. And as a self-proclaimed lover of books, I would like to share some reviews of my favorite books that I would like you, (yes you, you reading this article) to read. The first one I would like to talk about is young-adult novel Everything Everything by Nicola Yoon, in celebration of her upcoming book, The Sun Is Also A Star.

The story revolves around 18-year-old Madeline Whitter, who lives with her mother in Los Angeles. She loves to read, putting spoiler reviews on Tumblr, would like to be an architect, and wonders what it's like outside her house. She can't leave home because she is allergic to the world. One inhale of unfiltered air, and she could potentially die. Still she leads a happy, normal life, but all of that changes when a family moves next door, bringing Olly Bright all dressed in black.

Now I know what you're thinking: Oh, this is just another boy meets girl, boy next door kind of story. Yes, it is, but what makes the story compelling is that

Hopefully you enjoyed this review. Have a good day and I wish you happy reading!

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.
