Deciding On What To Read Is Your Choice.

What is fueling your ignorant hate towards others, could it be the lack of resolve to rise above conflict? There those that are talented and amazing writers who can spur their reader’s emotions in various directions. Many famous books series such as “Harry Potter” have been able to reach audiences both young and old. When reading, one can find interest with a character and can build emotional similarities with that character which pull them deeper into the wonderful book they are reading. A writer who is able to achieve such engagement of readers usually has a large following. Perhaps there is a writer out there who has that potential and hasn't yet been published. It would be great to be able to discover something new.

As an adult, there are many books that lean towards social issues. Some readers never notice such aspects until they have read the story several times over. Many readers lack care of what the authors personal opinion of the world is and use their intuition to merely enjoy the great story. Other readers have a tendency to over-read what they might believe to be hidden messages buried away in the text.

Books are wonderful and it is never a bad idea to pick one up and read, it is said that reading helps develops one’s mind. There are lots of people who would rather read a book, newspapers, or manga than watch a movie or a show on TV. Finding joy in reading pays off when it comes to school and business.

Unfortunately, many people lose their passion towards reading for several reasons. One reason is people who love to spoil the book for the reader. The “know it all’s”, coming in to tell the ending or the plot twist. These are people who have something negative to say about the book because it had contents that offended them. These are the people who write high and mighty book reviews and rate books according to their standards and dissuade others from a new book. One must appreciate those reviewers looking out for readers who don’t have “experience” in judging books. However, it is good to remember, “you can’t judge a book by its cover, you have to look inside”.

Another reason people tend not to read or not read a book is because a negative review has been written. Usually, these negative reviews start with someone who is seeking to find something wrong in the book. The negative review can catch on and stir up hate to point where it is as if a book burning is being called for! Yet, many people like these type of reviews, and enjoy reading the debates others have. There is a place for fluff pieces and a place for sharp analysis. Even comics can be positive and contribute ideas to politics, art and culture. But once again only the reader can decide what they like and don’t like. It all comes down to balance. Read a book today and learn that reading can once again be great.

Bob's Burgers
Adult Swim

Bob's Burgers is arguably one of the best and most well-written shows on tv today. That, and it's just plain hilarious. From Louise's crazy antics to Tina's deadpan self-confidence, whether they are planning ways to take over school or craft better burgers, the Belchers know how to have fun. They may not be anywhere close to organized or put together, but they do offer up some wise words once and awhile.

We're in college, none of us actually have anything together. In fact, not having anything together is one of our biggest stressors. However, there's a few little things that we do ever so often that actually make us feel like we have our lives together.

1. Making yourself dinner

And no this does not include ramen or Annie's Mac & Cheese. Making a decent meal for yourself is one of the most adult things you can do living on campus. And the food is much better than it would be at the dining hall.

I think the hardest thing about going away to college is figuring out how to become an adult. Leaving a household where your parents took care of literally everything (thanks, Mom!) and suddenly becoming your own boss is overwhelming. I feel like I'm doing a pretty good job of being a grown-up, but once in awhile I do something that really makes me feel like I'm #adulting. Twenty-somethings know what I'm talking about.

I went to a small high school, like 120-people-in-my-graduating-class small. It definitely had some good and some bad, and if you also went to a small high school, I’m sure you’ll relate to the things that I went through.

1. If something happens, everyone knows about it

Who hooked up with whom at the party? Yeah, heard about that an hour after it happened. You failed a test? Sorry, saw on Twitter last period. Facebook fight or, God forbid, real fight? It was on half the class’ Snapchat story half an hour ago. No matter what you do, someone will know about it.

Chandler Bing

I'm assuming that we've all heard of the hit 90's TV series, Friends, right? Who hasn't? Admittedly, I had pretty low expectations when I first started binge watching the show on Netflix, but I quickly became addicted.

Without a doubt, Chandler Bing is the most relatable character, and there isn't an episode where I don't find myself thinking, Yup, Iam definitely the Chandler of my friend group.
