7 Books You Should Read Before You Watch The Movie

Summer's here! With that, you're totally going to be one of two people: a total bookwork (like me) or wanting absolutely nothing to do with a book until school picks back up. Even if you're not into reading the book first, still make sure to check these movies out! Enjoy your break!

1. "Me Before You" by Jojo Moyes

You've probably seen the commercial for this movie a couple times whether it was sitting on the couch watching pointless TV because you can totally do that now (because the school year is over!), or you saw it during a preview at the movie for some movie you just happened to have gone and seen. Regardless, before you let yourself fall in love with this movie on June 3rd, make sure you grab this book and a box of Kleenex and let yourself fall in love with this!

"After You" by Jojo Moyes

After you completely let yourself fall in love with Me After You, totally stop by Barnes and Noble and pick up the sequel to it. This book was the exact thing we needed to help us cope with all that Moyes left us in Me After You. Hopefully we'll be blessed with a movie adaption for this book as well. Don't forget to grab the Kleenex before reading!

4. Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them by J.K. Rowling

SHE'S BACK AND THANK GOODNESS FOR THAT! The wonderful lady that brought you Harry Potter is back and I'm sure we won't be disappointed. While the movie doesn't come out until November 18, there is not doubt that you should withhold from reading the book!

6. Love, Rosie by Cecelia Ahern

Rosie and Alex are childhood best friends turned lover. The annoying part? It takes the whole book for the two to realize they're meant for each other. This book will make you laugh, cry, and smile the whole way through. It came out October 22, 2014 so even if you haven't see it yet and you don't intend on picking up the book anytime soon, at least put the movie on and enjoy!

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.

College is a great place to meet people, especially through Greek life. If you look closely at sororities, you'll quickly see there are many different types of girls you will meet.

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. It becomes harder and harder to focus in classes and while doing assignments as the days get closer. The winter has been lagging, the days are short and dark, and no one is quite themselves due to lack of energy and sunlight. Let's face it: life is ten times better in the summertime.
