20 Struggles All Book-Lovers Know

There are people who like to read, and then there are people who love to read. Although everyone goes through reading slumps, you always find yourself coming back to books because they're amazing. Here are 20 things you've definitely experienced if reading was your home.

1. You're always advertising reading to your friends

It's great, you just have to find the right book and you'll be hooked.

2. Sometimes you buy too many to keep up with

They keep piling up and you're trying to keep up, but you're not sure you can.

3. You keep getting more books anyway

Yard sale books are basically a steal, you can't turn them down.

4. You love the library

Even though you basically have your own library at home.

5. You respect Hermione's hustle

That girl had so much knowledge at the tips of her fingers and she took advantage.

6. The phrase "too many books" doesn't exist to you

Can there be too much happiness? I think not.

7. Nothing can distract you when you're in the middle of reading

You've got your groove on.

8. A book is a great gift for you

It's all you really need, especially if someone gets a title you've been waiting for.

9. You never get rid of your old books

The Harry Potter series? Still got em. The billion other series you read in middle school? Also still got em.

10. You're always waiting on book releases

As soon as you here the date your favorite author is releasing a new book you mark it on your calendar.

11. Matilda was also your girl

Characters who read like that are rare, but they are gems.

12. You reread your favorite books constantly

There's something new to notice every time.

13. You wish you could re-read books for the first time again

Rereading is great, but there's something about the first read rush that can't be replicated.

14. Taking a trip = reading time

Car sickness can take a backseat to the novel you've been waiting to get your hands on.

15. Beach day = beach reading

You can even take an aesthetic picture for your Snapchat.

16. Sometimes you just need alone time

With your books.

17. You can't pick your favorite

There's too many greats, it just depends on the day.

18. You're kind of a reading snob

As annoying as it is, you can't watch the movie without reading the book.

19. You've taken an aesthetic book pic

Do it for the 'gram.

20. You get a little judgmental

You just want to be able to talk about your favorite books with your favorite people.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating.
