My Christmas To-Read List

So, it's finally December, which means that Christmas is just around the corner. That also means, to us book nerds, that we can read a whole bunch of books while sitting in front of the fire and drinking hot chocolate. It's my favorite time of year to read and I'm planning on reading quite a few books during my two-to-three week break! So I have come up with a list of books that I plan on reading during break.

1. Let It Snow

This book by authors, John Green, Maureen Johnson, and Lauren Myracle, contains three shorter stories that all connect in different ways. I've read this book before, but I think it's such a cute book that is just begging to be reread. If you want to read the synopsis, you can click here.

2. Home for the Holidays

This book by Debbie Macomber, contains two stories in one. Unlike the first book on this list, the stories do not connect, but they are definitely two stories worth reading over the holidays. You can read the synopsis here.

3. Dash & Lily's Book of Dares

I have not actually read this book, or any other as a matter of fact, by Rachel Cohn and David Levithan. It looks like a really cute story set during the holidays and I'm anxious to pick it up this holiday season. For a synopsis, you know where to look.

4. What Light

This book, by Jay Asher, just came out this year and I have been wanting to read it, but I'm a little skeptical because I didn't really enjoy the other book I read by him, titled Thirteen Reasons Why. But, I'm going to try and go in with a clean slate and maybe this will be his redemption book (well, in my eyes at least). Synopsis is here.

5. Until Midnight

This Christmastime novella actually takes place after the first book of Melissa Landers' series, Alienated. This is a free ebook that you can get, but I highly recommend reading the first book before reading this one. I really enjoy this ebook and would love to reread it this year. Whether or not I read the first book again, is still up in the air. Because I don't want to give anything away for those who don't want spoilers, here is the synopsis for the first book of the series, Alienated.

If you have any suggestions on books to read this holiday season, feel free to comment them down below. I would love to also discuss any of the above books with you guys as well.

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?

10 Reasons Why Sisters Are The Best

Who could be a better friend than your own sister?

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.

College involves a whirlwind of emotions, whether it’s from the stress of an assignment (or twenty), or from fighting with your roommate. 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!)
