Must Read Books For The Summer

After your Netflix options have expired

Jul 07, 2015

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.

Creating your schedule for the upcoming semester can be an exciting process. You have the control to decide if you want to have class two-days a week or five-days a week. You get to check things off of your requirement checklist. It's an opportunity for a fresh start with new classes (which you tell yourself you'll never skip.) This process, which always starts out so optimistic, can get frustrating really quickly. Here are 25 thoughts you have when registering for classes.

10 Thoughts Of A 5th Year Senior

What about those of us who don't do it all in four years?

"College will be the best four years of your life" is a phrase that we have all heard growing up. College is painted as a magical place to us while we are in high school. A place you go to learn, meet your best friends and probably have the time of your life while all of this is going down. Four whirlwind years, where everything that you've known changes and you start to learn what it means to live on your own, have a job, etc. But what about those of us who don't do this all in four years? Major changes, hard courses, switching schools, career paths changing, these are just a handful of factors that could extend your four years to five, six or seven. There is nothing wrong with taking extra time to graduate, but returning as a fifth-year is a little different. Most of your best friends have most likely graduated and moved and while you may be one of the oldest undergraduates on campus, you might feel as awkward as a freshmen. A world that became home and comfortable to you is still there but it's slightly different than you've known it to be and you have to find a groove to fall into. These are thoughts you'll have as you look ahead to returning to your college campus, with a victory lap planned.

In the 12 years since it went off the air, "Friends" continues to be adored by millions. The show that gave generations unrealistic expectations about love (or should I say lobsters?) and New York City apartments had a charming cast of characters that everyone could relate to at some point or another. Here are 17 times Ross, Monica, Joey, Chandler, Phoebe and Rachel accurately described life.

Aubrey Plaza is one of my favorite humans in Hollywood. She's honest, blunt, unapologetic, and hilarious. I just started my sophomore year of college, and found that some of her best moments can accurately describe the start of the school year.
