A great book goes a long way.

Reading Is Where It's At, Let Me Tell You Why

Honestly, to me, there is no better feeling in the world than reading a good book.

It doesn't matter whether you like romance, sci-fi, action, or thriller.

Those of us who are avid readers know the amazing feeling you get when you finally get to immerse yourself into the pages of a great book.

For me, reading has always been a way for me to deal with my emotions, recharge throughout the day, or even get myself to sleep.

Sometimes, I look back on the days when I was young that I absolutely detested reading.

And honestly, I have no clue how I even got through anything.

When I sit down and begin my reading, I find myself almost feeling transported to another world.

My stress and worries seem to melt away with each turned page.

I feel like apart of the story and become very attached to the characters and the world they live in.

I can have hours pass by unnoticed when I have my nose in my books and, honestly, that is a-okay with me.

I love the peace I feel when my face is finally away from screen and I can escape the world.

If you don't really read much, I totally recommend that you at least give it a try!

Reading helps with anxiety, stress, boredom, passing time, and even making friends.

It is so awesome to have that super excited conversation time with someone you come across who has the same love and passion for the books/fandoms as you do.

Reading is great for bettering your mind and sometimes can be a big part in helping you find your place in this world.

So, go find yourself a good book, relax in your favorite spot, and read until your heart is content!

18 Things I Want To Do Now That I'm 18

I'm technically an adult, so I'm legally required to live a little, right?

For the entirety of my high school career, I was always seen as the goody-two-shoes. I never got in trouble with a teacher, I kept stellar grades, and when I wasn't doing extracurricular activities, I was at home studying. Even when I did go out, it was usually with a bunch of fellow band geeks. The night would end before 11:00 PM and the only controversial activity would be a fight based on who unfairly won a round of Apples-to-Apples when someone else clearly had a better card (I promise I'm not still holding a grudge).

Now that I'm officially an adult, I want to pursue some new things. I want to experience life in a way that I never allowed myself to do prior to entering college. These are the years that I'm supposed to embark on a journey of self-discovery, so what better way to do that than to create a bucket list?
