Choose A Book
Mike Lavere

When perusing the abundant shelves filled to the top with books, there are so many options that the answer can seem to be lost among the many.

1. The first step is to decide whether or not you want a book similar to the ones you have chosen before because if so, I would suggest following the pattern and choosing a book from an author you have read and liked before. However, if you are interested in something unprecedented and new, you must start from the beginning.

2. Searching through the covers for intriguing images depicting enchanting tales. Reading the cover to try and guess what wonders will fill those pages is like mulling over your choice.

3. Eventually, after many books are considered, your gut tells you which one to choose — much like when you follow your instinct in life.

4. In the end, you will never know the quality of the book until you begin to read. Page after page, the author’s world becomes more real and as impactful as making real life choices can be. Luckily, there is no contract that says you must finish a certain book, like the lack of permeance with choices. You have the power to change and grow by making new choices and starting over again.

5. Consequently, just like literature stays with you long after, choices have the same capability.

As you are meandering through life, and making choice after choice, think back to that time you were at the local library, and trying to choose a book to read because life is like choosing a book.

When it comes to television, there’s very few sets of on-screen siblings that a lot of us can relate to. Only those who have grown up with siblings knows what it feels like to fight, prank, and love a sibling. Ross and Monica Geller were definitely overbearing and overshared some things through the series of "Friends," but they captured perfectly what real siblings feel in real life. Some of their antics were funny, some were a little weird but all of them are completely relatable to brothers and sisters everywhere.
