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.

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.
