Must Read Books For The Summer

After binge watching all of your favorite TV shows on Netflix, you soon run out of things to watch. You have either watched every episode of the new "Orange is the New Black" season, or no other show has really caught your attention. So, you turn to a new form of entertainment: reading.

When you read the title of this article, you're probably thinking, "Summer reading? Are we back in high school? Where's the assignment to go along with the book?" No assignments here. This is for pure enjoyment!

So far this summer I have read three great books! "Dirty Rush" by Taylor Bell, "Gone Girl" by Gillian Flynn, and "The Girl on the Train" by Paula Hawkins.

"Dirty Rush" is a comedic book about a girl going through the recruitment process at her school, who finds that there are secrets some of her sisters are not sharing. If you like all things sorority, this is definitely a book for you! It's funny, sometimes true, and mysterious at times. I read this book in a day, so it is a easy read and can be enjoyed by the pool, on the beach, or at night before you go to bed!


"Gone Girl" is, so far, my favorite book that I have read this summer. I have always enjoyed reading mysteries, especially ones that include murder, romance, and suspense. This story will take you on a roller coaster with all of the plot twists it entails. I am the type who has to read the book before the movie, so be sure to engage in the story before mindlessly watching it.

"The Girl on the Train" is a thriller in which unfolds the different character's stories which are all intertwined. The story line is interesting, but it does take time for the story to develop. However, you still want to keep reading to see what happens in the end! "The Girl on the Train" is a fairly easy read and is also different from any other books I have read.


So, grab a book and get reading, because Reading Is FUNdamental.

Today I started my third week of college at Minnesota State Moorhead. I have survived welcome week, finding my classes on the first day, and being an awkward loner in the dining hall. Even though I have yet to be here for a month, I have already experienced many thoughts and problems that only a new college student can relate to.

"Make sure to get involved when you're in college!"

We've all heard some variation of this phrase, whether it came from parents, other family members, friends, RAs, or college-related articles. And, like many clichés, it's true for the most part. Getting involved during your college years can help you make friends, build your resume, and feel connected to your campus. However, these commitments can get stressful if you're dealing with personal issues, need to work, or aren't sure how to balance classes and everything else going on during the semester.

In college, one of the essential things to have is friends. Yes, textbooks, a laptop, and other school supplies are important but friends are essential. Friends are that support system everybody needs. The more friends you have the better the support system you have. But you also have someone to share experiences with. And don’t settle for just one or two friends because 8 out of 10 times they are busy and you are studying all alone. Or they have other friend groups that do not include you. Don’t settle for just one or two friends; make as many friends as you can. After the first couple of weeks of college, most friend groups are set and you may be without friends.

For a moment your world is spinning. The phone alarm has just scared you awake and you’re flooded by daunting thoughts of the day ahead. You have three assignments due and little time to work on them because of your job. You’re running late because you’ve hit snooze one to many times after yesterday’s long hours. You dizzily reach for a hoodie, craving its comfort, and rush for a speedy exit, praying you will have time to pick up coffee. Does this sound familiar?

Finals week is upon us. It is a magical time of year during which college students everywhere flock to the library in attempt to learn a semester's worth of knowledge in only a week.
