Aside from spending some quality time with your family and catching up with all your friends who are back in town, you will also finally have the time to spend on yourself. Forget Netflix and mid-day naps, those are reserved for the academic semesters anyway. Instead, pick up a book and dive right in!

I know some people hate to read and in all honesty, I used to hate it too. It was weird because when it came to writing short stories? I loved. Reading them? Not my cup of tea. I used to look at reading as a waste of time. However, as I got older, I began to appreciate it more and more. No matter what book is in your hand, there is something valuable you can take from it. It doesn't matter the type of book, the genre, the length, or the storyline; there is something special in each.

This break, I have put together a short list of books that will keep you busy. I strongly recommend giving these books a try, I have a feeling you will love them as much as I did.

1. "You Are a Badass: How to Stop Doubting Your Greatness and Start Living an Awesome Life" - Jen Sincero

This book will have you feeling on top of the world! It highlights your strengths and how to apply them to your daily life. Truly inspiring!

2. "The Alchemist" - Paulo Coelho

This book is one of my all time favorites. I have read it three times already and I've noted something new each time.

3. "The Subtle Art of Not Giving A F*CK" - Mark Manson

Honestly, the title says it all. Read it, learn it, and live by it.

4. "101 Questions You Need To Ask in Your Twenties: (And Let's Be Honest, Your Thirties Too)" - Paul Angone

Our twenties are a weird time, so grab your cup of coffee and maybe some cookies, and dive right in.

5. "The Secret" - Rhonda Byrne

Want something more mysterious? Prepare yourself for a life-transforming read.

If I have learned one thing in my lifetime, it is that friends are a privilege. No one is required to give you their company and yet there is some sort of shared connection that keeps you together. And from that friendship, you may even find yourself lucky enough to have a few more friends, thus forming a group. Here are just a few signs that prove your current friend group is the ultimate friend group.

When it comes to television, there’s very few sets of on-screen siblings that a lot of us can relate to. Only those who have grown up with siblings knows what it feels like to fight, prank, and love a sibling. Ross and Monica Geller were definitely overbearing and overshared some things through the series of "Friends," but they captured perfectly what real siblings feel in real life. Some of their antics were funny, some were a little weird but all of them are completely relatable to brothers and sisters everywhere.

Every kid in college and/or high school dreams of summer the moment they walk through the door on the first day back in September. It becomes harder and harder to focus in classes and while doing assignments as the days get closer. The winter has been lagging, the days are short and dark, and no one is quite themselves due to lack of energy and sunlight. Let's face it: life is ten times better in the summertime.
