Once you become hooked on certain books, it's not hard to become an avid reader- someone who loves to read at every second you can each day. And if you do, then these things relate to you.

You spend too much time (and money) in bookstores.

But who can blame you? Bookstores are like goldmines! And if you're not in a bookstore looking for something to read, you're looking at the library selections- instead of focusing on the work you were planning to get done. Looking online at Amazon is the next great place to look.

You're always (always!) looking for a good book to read.

You may have several other books going, but some other titles sound interesting to you so you check them out- only to have them start calling to you too!

You compare people you know or just met to some of your favorite characters 

Just the slightest characteristic (even from someone you just started talking to minutes ago) can remind you of them- their family, their style, their occupation, their personality, etc.

You relate certain places or situations you see to stuff you read in a book  

Especially if they were your favorite scenes!

You recommend books to people that they've never even heard of.

True, everyone may go through this at some point, but if your someone who read all kinds of different books (especially from lesser-known authors), then you may go through this more often than others.

You spend every spare second you have reading a good book

Books call to you! Every free time you have is a chance to find out what happens next!

Even if you have only picked up a book for a few minutes, or have only one favorite book, you can probably relate to at least one of these.

I think the hardest thing about going away to college is figuring out how to become an adult. Leaving a household where your parents took care of literally everything (thanks, Mom!) and suddenly becoming your own boss is overwhelming. I feel like I'm doing a pretty good job of being a grown-up, but once in awhile I do something that really makes me feel like I'm #adulting. Twenty-somethings know what I'm talking about.

I went to a small high school, like 120-people-in-my-graduating-class small. It definitely had some good and some bad, and if you also went to a small high school, I’m sure you’ll relate to the things that I went through.

1. If something happens, everyone knows about it

Who hooked up with whom at the party? Yeah, heard about that an hour after it happened. You failed a test? Sorry, saw on Twitter last period. Facebook fight or, God forbid, real fight? It was on half the class’ Snapchat story half an hour ago. No matter what you do, someone will know about it.

Chandler Bing

I'm assuming that we've all heard of the hit 90's TV series, Friends, right? Who hasn't? Admittedly, I had pretty low expectations when I first started binge watching the show on Netflix, but I quickly became addicted.

Without a doubt, Chandler Bing is the most relatable character, and there isn't an episode where I don't find myself thinking, Yup, Iam definitely the Chandler of my friend group.

Working with the public can be a job, in and of itself. Some people are just plain rude for no reason. But regardless of how your day is going, always having to be in the best of moods, or at least act like it... right?

1. When a customer wants to return a product, hands you the receipt, where is printed "ALL SALES ARE FINAL" in all caps.

2. Just because you might be having a bad day, and you're in a crappy mood, doesn't make it okay for you to yell at me or be rude to me. I'm a person with feelings, just like you.

3. People refusing to be put on hold when a customer is standing right in front of you. Oh, how I wish I could just hang up on you!
