Books. They are wonderful creations. They suck you in the minute you open them and you are transported to a different world, and it seems as though all your worries melt away.

1. "The Girl He Used To Know" by Tracey Garvis Graves

The love story of a quiet book nerd and the guy determined to win her heart. This book comes out in April of this year and I already have it preordered from Amazon.

2. "The Binding" by Bridget Collins

This novel's description drew me in the minute I saw the cover, and then I turned it over to read the summary. Combing a love of books, small towns, and magic, I am excited to dive into this new book.

3. "The Universe of Us" by Lang Leav

Poetry is one of my favorite things to read, and Leav uses the wonders of the universe to capture the minds of his readers.

4. "The Hypnotist's Love Story: by Liane Moriarty

Set in a beach town, Moriarty spins a tale of stalking, love, and eccentric characters; my favorite combination for a good novel.

5. "Becoming" by Michelle Obama

This book. I have been dying to read this book since it came out. Michelle Obama has helped so many people and she is an amazing role model for all people. Through this book, she invites you into her world, and that is a world I'm ready to be sucked into.

This is just a short list of the books I plan to read during 2019. One of my goals for this year is to really get back in touch with my book-loving side. I have become too absorbed by my phone, and I want to be absorbed by different worlds in the binds of books.

Christmas is literally so close. We can almost taste it. But there is just one thing standing between you and the big day: FINALS. It's not the studying, lack of sleep, last minute cram sessions or crappy food intake that is the worst... but the fact that you cannot focus because, well, CHRISTMAS. How do professors expect you to focus when Christmas is soooo soon. For all my fellow Christmas lovers out there, I feel your pain.

One of the most dreaded places on campus is the library. Nothing awesome ever happens here. Usually, the only reason you're here is because you've procrastinated so long that the library is the only place you'll actually get stuff done. It gives you this feeling of sadness and impending doom. You have no idea how this is going to go or how long you'll be here, but you do know it is about to be the most excruciating experiences yet. But it has to get done, so you drag yourself to the lovely library.

With each new year comes new goals.

Deciding on a goal can be hard, unsure of what to change for this new year. A new goal for myself is to be happier and take care of myself more. I am a very driven person; so driven that I commit to a million and ten things.

It is that time of year again. Christmastime. It is one of my favorite seasons for a myriad of reasons. Here are just a few reasons why I love Christmas. This list is in no order of importance.

1. The Christmas decorations

I am that person who will decorate directly after Thanksgiving is over. This year, my roommates and I put the tree up in our apartment before we even left for Thanksgiving break. It is a great stress reliever for me to just sit in my living room and work on the huge amount of work I have before the semester is over.
