Desert Island Games, Episode 3: Books.

Works as a great source of entertainment, but also as a great fire starter if need be.

Radio Times

Along with my makeup, and my movies, I have room in my bag for books as well! And when the cable is out, and I have a full face of makeup on, I might as well read a book. Waiting on my food to cook? Read a book.

1. Flowers in the Attic.

Preferably, I would like to take the entire series. But if I had to choose just one of them to take with me, this would be the one.

2. The Sun and Her Flowers.

Who doesn't love a good poetry book, and especially the work of Rupi Kaur? If you're ever feeling a little lonely and heartbroken on the island, this is the perfect read.

3. The Sun Also Rises.

I personally really, really, love Ernest Hemingway, and I feel like this book is one I would never get tired of reading. After all, who knows how long I'll be on the deserted island for.

4. Fifty Shades of Grey. The Trilogy.

Don't diss this choice until you have read them yourself. I'm not taking them for the erotic side of these books - it simply is a GREAT plot and a very interesting story. It is different from other books around when it was released. It is not the typical 'girl loves a boy but the boy loves another girl' love story, and I'm here for it.

5. You Are A Badass.

This needs no explanation. If I'm ever feeling a little discouraged on the island, my shelter fell apart, my fire won't start, etc. I'll just pick this bad boy up and have a read.

6. Mr. Mercedes

Because, again, if you've ever read this - you know why I'm taking this. If you're a Stephen King lover - you know why I'm taking this. I love this book, I love Stephen King, I love the plot, I love the idea, I love it all.

7. The Da Vinci Code.

"I would take the Da Vinci Code, so that I could burn the Da Vinci Code." Sorry, I had to. You either get it or you don't.

Stay tuned for my next episode of Desert Island Games.

40 Gift Ideas for the Indecisive

It's a time of love, family, memory-making, and gift-giving. But also a time of stressing over the perfect gift.

It's officially December. There is less than a month of 2024, and I still feel like yesterday was summer. Now comes the merriest time of the year, the Christmas season.

Everyone has been waiting for this time of year since mid-October (which is way too early, in my opinion) or before. It's a time of love, family, memory-making, and gift-giving. A lot of times when I ask friends and family what they want, I get a lot of "I don't know" or "I don't care."

Bucket List To Live In The Now

Find excitement in your life and start exploring wherever you are right here, right now.

mu bucket list

I was sitting at my cubicle, now that I am an adult, looking at the rain pouring down on the windowsill, bumming on life, wishing for the rain to just stop for a full day.

There are moments where we count down the hours until work is over and how many more days till the weekend, and this many weeks until something exciting. Or something like that? Well, I was bumming because my next day off from work is not until Memorial Day weekend, which is not until the end of May. And since this is my first year out of college being a “real person,” I am totally missing the winter, spring and summer breaks. I am sure all of us have felt this way even if just for a hot minute…

You know you're a true Kent Stater when...

Kent State University
Great Value Colleges

If you go to or went to Kent State, then more than likely you have done or will do some of these things.

1. You’ve slipped and fallen on the ice at least once.

The winters at Kent are brutal, and while the heated sidewalks and some great snow boots are always a help, there’s no chance you won’t bust it on the ice at least once in your four plus years at school.
