If you are anything like me, all of the books that you read just aren't enough, and you're always looking for something new. I am a really big fan of series books, mainly because I like watching characters grow and evolve. It is interesting to me to see how their relationships with others change over time and what contributes to these changes. A subject that has always interested me is the sci-fi/ fantasy category. Typically, I find myself reading books that are focused on dystopian societies and post-apocalyptic scenarios. In the following list, I want to touch on some book series that I have either really enjoyed reading, or I plan on reading in the near future. If you are looking for a new book to read, you have come to the right place!

1. All Souls Trilogy

This series is one of my favorites to talk about. I am currently reading it, so I don't have all of the answers...yet. Basically, this series follows Diana Bishop, a witch, who is trying to live her life magic-free. This is all going quite well, until she uncovers an ancient manuscript, attracting all sorts of witches, deamons, and vampires. One vampire in particular, Matthew Clairmont, becomes an imperative part of her life when his preternatural instincts take over and his need to protect her becomes his sole mission- along with also discovering the mysteries of the manuscript. I would encourage anyone to read this trilogy, especially if fantastical creatures and action packed, romantic, historical battles catch your eye.

2. Matched Trilogy

The Matched trilogy is next up on my long list of books to read. Although I haven't read them yet, the plot has already drawn me in. Ally Condie writes of a dystopian society in which upon turning 17, you are matched with your spouse; hence the title of the first book. The main character, Cassia, gets matched with her best friend, but later has reason to believe that her match was tampered with in some way. This revelation leads her to question the system that is being used and if she will ever end up with the right match.

3. The Mortal Instruments Series

The Mortal Instruments series includes an astonishing six books, all focused on shadow hunting. The series showcases a teenage girl named Clary who is descended from a long line of shadow hunters. It isn't until her mother disappears that she joins a group of hunters who use their skills to protect against the evils in the world, while trying to solve the mystery of her mother's disappearance.

4. Panther in the Hive

Panther in the Hive is another book that focuses on the effects of a dystopian society. Centered in Chicago, it tells the story of a technology gone wrong that when administered to humans, caused them to lose their minds. The main character must travel across the country to reach her sister before these weaponized humans get to her. There are many dangers that she must face on her journey, and we can read along with her every step of the way.

Hopefully, you have seen something that has sparked interest, and you may go out and seek out these titles. I am so excited to finish all of these books, and i encourage you to do the same. Happy reading!

The Daily Struggles of Being a College Commuter

It's not all morning coffees and singing along to the radio.

The Daily Struggles of Being a College Commuter
morethanwheels

I've been in college for four years now. I spent half my time as a commuter and half as a resident so I've experienced both sides of the housing spectrum. One thing I've learned comparing the two is that my struggles as a commuter far outweigh anything I went through while living on campus. Commuters have to deal with the problems school brings along with a slew of other issues; I've filled up my gas tank in the worst kind of weather conditions and napped in random places in public more times than I'm proud to say of. This is a list of some of the most challenging aspects of being a commuter.

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!
