We've all seen some of the best book series turned into movies. The books are actually some of the most obsessive reads. Some are dystopian novels that take place in a post-apocalyptic world, others include angels and demons. Nevertheless, these are some series that you should be sure to read when you want to escape into another reality.

1. The Divergent Series

2. The Selection Series

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!
