8 Great Books For Readers And Nonreaders Alike

Have you ever got so lost in a book that you look up after hours of reading and don't know what day it is? No? Only me? Well, these books are sure to give you that lost-in-my-book-don't-talk-to-me-until-I'm-done feeling.

1. Gone Girl by Gillian Flynn

This is my all-time favorite book. The movie is amazing too, but, as they say, the book is ALWAYS better.

2. Sharp Objects by Gillian Flynn

Also, I should mention that Gillian Flynn is my favorite author. She's a genius, honestly. Check out the series on HBO based on this thrilling book.

3. The Girl on the Train by Paula Hawkins

I promise not ALL of my favorite books have movies based on them. But, this one does. It has the same vibe as Gone Girl, which is why I couldn't put it down.

4. Into The Water by Paula Hawkins

Paula Hawkins is another genius. I read this book during my week-long beach vacation a few years ago and finished it after day three.

5. Girl, Wash Your Face by Rachel Hollis

This book isn't fiction, but I think everyone MUST read it. Its one of those books that teach you how to be confident and helps you figure out your entire life. Helpful, right?

6. Modern Romance by Aziz Ansari

Any Parks and Recreation fans? In this book, Ansari teaches you more about dating in the 21st century than any online column would.

7. Never Eat Alone by Keith Ferrazi

I was recommended this book by a young entrepreneur who insisted everyone needed to read this book. I completely agree. It helps you understand the importance of networking and relationships in a world where everyone seems to be looking out for number one.

8. The Subtle Art of Not Giving a F*ck by Mark Manson

Last, but not least, this one is a classic. Everyone needs to learn how to not give a f*ck.

birthday party

My birthday has never been my favorite holiday. I've found that I'm more excited to celebrate my friends' and family members' birthdays more than my own. I don't like being the center of attention, so I usually celebrate over dinner with a small group of family and friends. This way, I can enjoy myself naturally without feeling like I have to entertain everyone and make sure they are satisfied. In the past when I've had large parties, I was so nervous that people weren't perfectly content that I didn't enjoy myself at my own celebration.

College Informations

Most of us have already started the spring semester, and for those of you who haven't started yet, you suck.

It seems like coming back from winter break wouldn't really be a break all things considered, since we all come back to school and pick up right where we left off. We know exactly what to expect, yet we're unprepared every single time.

I'm serious

There are tons of unisex names that are popular: Taylor, Alex, Bailey, etc. There are also numerous names that are used for both sexes, but they’re not seen as “unisex” yet. People are slowly becoming accustomed to the dual use of these names, but for the most part, in their minds they associate certain names with certain sexes. And that leaves those of us with these names in many awkward situations.

I'm an anthropology major, and I love every minute of it. I couldn't tell you why, but I guess there's just something about studying different lifestyles that absolutely fascinates me. But anthropology majors definitely have our weird sides, especially when you go to a school that is filled with mostly Business and Bio majors. But us weirdos definitely have a lot in common, specifically these 16 things.
