During the school year, it can be hard to find time to read in between classes, homework, extracurriculars, and a social life. That's why summer is the perfect time to catch up on all those missed hours you could've spent reading. Many must-have books are set for this summer, and so you need to make sure you don't miss out on reading a single one.

1. "The Girls" by Emma Cline.

Emma Cline's debut novel follows the life of a lonely teenager, Evie Boyd, during the end of the violent 1960s in Northern California. She is quickly drawn into an infamous cult by an older girl named Suzanne, which leads her down a path she might not want to follow. The book is out now and is flying off the shelves and receiving all kinds of praise. Lena Dunham says that the book "reminds us that behind so many of our culture’s fables exists a girl: unseen, unheard, angry. This book will break your heart and blow your mind."

2. "Invincible Summer" by Swan Huntley.

First-time author Swan Huntley hopes to captivate audiences with her book "Invincible Summer," which comes out on June 28. The novel follows the lives of Eva, Benedict, Sylvie, and Lucien, four friends from college, and shows how their lives change over the course of 20 years. The story examines just how drastically plans can shift as they transition from dreams to reality. This will definitely be a must-read, especially for college students.

3. "Harry Potter and the Cursed Child: Parts One and Two," by Jack Thorne.

Based on the stage production of the same name, "Harry Potter and the Cursed Child" takes place many years after the events of "Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows." So many years, in fact, Harry is a husband, a father of three, and an employee at the Ministry of Magic. The story is said to focus on the relationship between Harry and his youngest son Albus. The book is actually a copy of the official script used for the play, so calling it a novel isn't really fair, but the story is based on an original idea from J.K. Rowling herself. Look for it on shelves July 31.

4. "The Girl with the Lower Back Tattoo" by Amy Schumer.

Amy Schumer, everyone's favorite comedian/writer/actress, is set to release a highly anticipated memoir on August 16. Described as "the literary equivalent of a night out with your best friend," Schumer's book of true stories is sure to be hilarious as well as heartfelt. With the success of her television show "Inside Amy Schumer" and her movie "Trainwreck," the book will undoubtedly be a massive hit.

It's officially December. There is less than a month of 2024, and I still feel like yesterday was summer. Now comes the merriest time of the year, the Christmas season.

Everyone has been waiting for this time of year since mid-October (which is way too early, in my opinion) or before. It's a time of love, family, memory-making, and gift-giving. A lot of times when I ask friends and family what they want, I get a lot of "I don't know" or "I don't care."

mu bucket list

I was sitting at my cubicle, now that I am an adult, looking at the rain pouring down on the windowsill, bumming on life, wishing for the rain to just stop for a full day.

There are moments where we count down the hours until work is over and how many more days till the weekend, and this many weeks until something exciting. Or something like that? Well, I was bumming because my next day off from work is not until Memorial Day weekend, which is not until the end of May. And since this is my first year out of college being a “real person,” I am totally missing the winter, spring and summer breaks. I am sure all of us have felt this way even if just for a hot minute…

Great Value Colleges

If you go to or went to Kent State, then more than likely you have done or will do some of these things.

1. You’ve slipped and fallen on the ice at least once.

The winters at Kent are brutal, and while the heated sidewalks and some great snow boots are always a help, there’s no chance you won’t bust it on the ice at least once in your four plus years at school.
