7 Books I Hope To Read This Summer
istock.snapo

There’s only a month left until summer. Well, for me anyway. My goal for the summer has always been to catch up on some reading. I know it’s impossible to read all of the books on my list, since I own at least more than a hundred, but I've found a way to narrow down my list of books to read this summer. So, here are the books that I hope to read this summer.

1. "Caraval" by Stephanie Garber

Since I heard that it’s like “The Hunger Games” and “The Night Circus,” I honestly can't wait to read it. I also heard it’s a really good book.

2. "Firstlife" by Gena Showalter

I want to read this book because I got it as a gift and haven't had time to read it yet!

3. "Everland" by Wendy Spinale

Since it’s a fairy tale retelling of “Peter Pan,” I can't wait to sit down and read this book.

4. "Carve the Mark" by Veronica Roth

It’s the first new book that Veronica Roth has written since the Divergent trilogy. And when I found out that there are Divergent Easter eggs in the book, it makes me want to read it more.

5. "Cinder (The Lunar Chronicles #1)" by Marissa Meyer

I might be in the mood to read a science fiction book this summer, but it also has a hint of fairy-tale sparkle in it, as well.

6. "Passenger" by Alexandra Bracken

Since I didn’t read it during my spring break, I would love to read it this summer. I've also always wanted to read a book about time travel since I’m a Doctor Who fan.

7. "By Your Side" by Kasie West

Some people would place this book in the contemporary-fiction category, but I don’t think contemporary is a genre. I consider this book a romance. Anyway, this book is about a girl who gets locked up in a library for the weekend with a guy. I mean, who doesn’t want to be locked up in a library. I know I do.

I could think of more books to read, but summer seems fleeting and there is so little time for so many books.

The transition into adulthood is never easy

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. For some students, it's their first time in the library all semester, maybe ever. Others have slaved away many nights under the fluorescent lights, and are slightly annoyed to find their study space being invaded by amateurs. While these newbies wander aimlessly around the first floor, hopelessly trying to find a table, the OGs of the library are already on the third floor long tables deep into their studies. Here is a few signs that you may live in the library, whether you'd like to admit it or not.
