10 Good Reads For A Slow Day
Savannah McGuire

Although I'm not your avid reader, I do enjoy books as a side hobby. I tend to read poetry, war books and random books that I just picked up because I skimmed through and yes--I judged it's cover, but they all lead to some amazing reads. So, if you're looking for a book to read for fun, then I've got a few for you:

1. Nightengale by Kristin Hannah

This book is hands down my favorite book. I had to read it for my senior year high school English class but totally fell in love with it. The back story of it is basically sisters during World War II, but it has a take on both of the girls as they have different memories from the war. Also, no lie, I cried at the end, and I throw it at anyone asking for a good book; I have no shame.

2.The Sun and Her Flowers by Rupi Kaur

If you love poetry and Rupi, then you should totally go for this book. It comes after Milk and Honey but is just as beautiful as it.

3. The Glass Castle by Jeannette Walls

To be totally honest, I had to read this book in school, skimmed the first part, didn't really pay attention until one day I finally decided to! I ended up rereading it and is now one of my favorite books today. You should definitely give this one a read.

4. To Kill A Mockingbird by Harper Lee

Again, I had to read this due to school, but I loved this book. If you haven't read it for school or a project, I 100% recommend this book; you have to read it.

5. Fault In Our Stars by John Green

Beautiful book and a beautiful movie, I cried again. It happens.

6. Sarah's Key by Tatiana De Rosnay

Sarah's Key is again about World War II and also made me cry. The story is told by a present-day journalist who has to write about the day of Vel' d'Hiv' in France. The story is told also told from two different point of views, which makes the story super interesting.

7. Catch 22 by Joseph Heller

Although I haven't read this book myself, my roommate absolutely loves it! It's next on my reading list.

8. Animal Farm by George Orwell

This book is told in a non-conventional way-- by animals but gets the point across. Also, you should check out 1984 By George Orwell which is another one of his books.

9. Harry Potter by J.K Rowling

I had to add it.

10. The Outsiders

Suprise, I also had to read this for school but I have reread this book multiple times, and I love it more and more each time I read it. Stay gold Ponyboy.

If I have learned one thing in my lifetime, it is that friends are a privilege. No one is required to give you their company and yet there is some sort of shared connection that keeps you together. And from that friendship, you may even find yourself lucky enough to have a few more friends, thus forming a group. Here are just a few signs that prove your current friend group is the ultimate friend group.

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.

1. The Legacy.

Her sister was a member, her mom was a member, all of her aunts were members, and her grandma was a member. She has been waiting her whole life to wear these letters and cried hysterically on bid day. Although she can act entitled at times, you can bet she is one of the most enthusiastic sisters.

Every kid in college and/or high school dreams of summer the moment they walk through the door on the first day back in September.
