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

In This Article:

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!

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?
