My Top Five Favorite Books And Series Of All Time

Let me tell y'all, I love to read. It's bad, an addiction really. I have so many favorite books and it's impossible to just choose one. I just wanted to share a few of my favorites with you today so that you can hopefully enjoy them too. (Disclaimer: most of these books are YA romance novels so if you're not super into that, you may not want to try them out.)

The "Harry Potter" Series By: J.K. Rowling

A classic. Who doesn't love Harry Potter? If someone says they don't, they either haven't read them or they're lying, and both of those are a sin. You never get too old for these books because they always take you right back to your childhood and force you to use your imagination.

"Lovely Dark and Deep" By: Amy McNamara

In my opinion, this is one of the most well-written books I've ever read. I feel like the author did a really good job of pulling you into the book and making you feel almost like the story is happening to you instead of someone you're reading about, and I feel like any book that does that is well worth the read. It's beautifully written and it'll make you cry like a baby. It'll also give you a strange addiction to Robert Frost's poem "Stopping by Woods on a Snowy Evening" 10/10 recommend this read.

The "To All The Boys I've Loved Before" Series By: Jenny Han

I'm not trying to be basic, but these books slap. I know everyone loves them right now, but there's probably a reason for that. If by chance you haven't read them, then I highly recommend it.

The "Come Back To Me" Series By: Mila Gray

Thank God for random books I find while digging around at Books-A-Million. If I absolutely had to pick a favorite book it would probably be one from this series. I'm not even really sure I can call this a series though. All these books tie together a little bit, but none of them focus on the same people. Anyway, Mila Gray is probably my favorite author out there, and her writing style is amazing. These books have a way of making you happy, sad, and frustrated all at the same time. (They're also so good that I read them each in one day because I couldn't put them down.) 13/10 recommend.

"The Dark Between Stars" By: Atticus

Personal Photo

Everyone loves a good poetry book and Atticus is amazing. I promise you, there's a poem in here for you. This book isn't just for girls either, I've given it to multiple of my guy friends who loved it just as much as I did. This book is literally for anyone. Definitely try it out.

Joanne Harris once said, "Some books you read. Some books you enjoy. But some books just swallow you up heart and soul." That's what these books have done for me. It doesn't matter how many other books I've read since these ones, they've stuck with me. If you decide to give them a try, I hope you love them as much as I do.

Things I Am Actually Going To Do This Semester

Or at least try to do.

New year, new semester, not the same old thing. This semester will be a semester to redeem all the mistakes made in the previous five months.

1. I will wake up (sorta) on time for class.

Let's face it, last semester you woke up with enough time to brush your teeth and get to class and even then you were about 10 minutes late and rollin' in with some pretty unfortunate bed head. This semester we will set our alarms, wake up with time to get ready, and get to class on time!

And so it begins.

1. Walk in motivated and ready to rock

Camping out at the library is not for the faint of heart. You need to go in as a warrior. You usually have brought supplies (laptop, chargers, and textbooks) and sustenance (water, snacks, and blanket/sweatpants) since the battle will be for an undetermined length of time. Perhaps it is one assignment or perhaps it's four. You are motivated and prepared; you don’t doubt the assignment(s) will take time, but you know it couldn’t be that long.

December... it's full of finals, due dates, Mariah Carey, and the holidays. It's the worst time of the year, but the best because after finals, you get to not think about classes for a month and catch up on all the sleep you lost throughout the semester. But what's worse than finals week is the last week of classes, when all the due dates you've put off can no longer be put off anymore.

University of Vermont

Thanksgiving break is over and Christmas is just around the corner and that means, for most college students, one hellish thing — finals week. It's the one time of year in which the library becomes over populated and mental breakdowns are most frequent. There is no way to avoid it or a cure for the pain that it brings. All we can do is hunker down with our books, order some Dominos, and pray that it will all be over soon. Luckily, we are not alone in this suffering. To prove it, here are just a few of the many deranged thoughts that go through a college student's mind during finals week.

I know every college student has daily thoughts throughout their day. Whether you're walking on campus or attending class, we always have thoughts running a mile a minute through our heads. We may be wondering why we even showed up to class because we'd rather be sleeping, or when the professor announces that we have a test and you have an immediate panic attack.
