15 Signs You Are Obsessed With Reading
Karen Lee Photography

Everyone has a hobby of some sort. Whether it is art or sewing, maybe watching Netflix it is something you enjoy and are good at. But nothing is as hardcore as a book fanatic. Readers are obsessed. So obsessed that they write stories based on the books they read. Here are 15 things only hardcore readers will understand.

1. You take a book everywhere you go.

Because you never know when you will get a chance to read! Even if it's just a few minutes before class starts or waiting for a meeting to begin.

 

2. You go through book withdrawal.

Having to take some time in between books to get over the last book you read. Bu then missing the adventures you go on while reading.

 

3. Books are your favorite gifts.

The best gifts for readers are a book from their wish list or a gift card to their favorite bookstore.

 

4. Rainy days are the best.

You have an excuse to cuddle under a blanket with a cup of tea and your favorite or current book!

 

5. You have that one friend you can rant about books to.

They are the one person you can text at 3 a.m. and freak out about something you just read and they will listen to you without complaint.

 

6. The library is one of your favorite places.

It's one of the best places for readers on earth. You can borrow the book and find out what type of books you like the most.

 

7. You have a great story of how you came to love reading.

Everyone has a person or a certain book that made him or her fall in love with reading.

 

8. Preordering is a must.

When the latest book goes on sale, you better have preordered it or you will miss out on some awesome features that come with ordering early. You also may have to wait some time before you get the book if you don’t.

 

9. You feel excitement when you finish a book.

You are so happy you have finished the book and seen what the book has had to offer.

 

10. You feel sadness when you finish a book.

But, you are also depressed that the book had to come to an end and maybe ended badly.

 

11. You have all the feels in general.

You will get them while reading no matter what. There is no way of stopping them, so accept them now.

 

12. You take pride in your book collection.

You are like a parent to your books so you enjoy just looking at the books you own and maybe even bragging a little about them.

13. You know the joy of getting a new book.

It’s a feeling of pure bliss.

 

14. You love organizing your books.

It is a must. Books must be orderly and look proper on your shelves. You might go insane if you don't!

15. You know the magic of books.

Adventures that take you all over and let you have so many experiences without even leaving the comfort of your room.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
