5 Books To Put On Your Summer Reading List
bookthug.ca

We have been waiting for summer since last summer and now that it is finally here, it is time to do all the things that we have been saying we would do once it is summer. And now that it is finally summer, it is time to kick back, relax, and enjoy a good book—preferably one that would be perfect for summer.

1. 'Thirteen Reasons Why' by Jay Asher

If you have already watched the first season on Netflix, but have not read the book, now is the time. The Netflix series has recently been renewed for a second season, so right now would be the perfect time to read the novel.

2. 'Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close' by Jonathan Safran Foer

If you are a mystery fan this one is for you. Told from the point-of-view of nine-year-old Oskar Schell as he searches through the five boroughs of New York City trying to find the lock to the key he found in his father’s bedroom closet. It is a feel-good book just perfect for the summer time.

3. 'The Notebook' by Nicholas Sparks

…or any Nicholas Sparks novel, if I am being honest. Nothing says summer like a typical, cheesy, tear-jerking, but beautiful romance novel. And this Nicholas Sparks novel has got it all.

4. 'To Kill a Mockingbird' by Harper Lee

This American classic is one of those that should be read over and over and over again. The famous novel is one of those books that the juice from every page, paragraph, sentence, and word could be squeezed until there was nothing left.

5. 'Once and For All' by Sarah Dessen

As Dessen’s newest novel, Once and For All is about Louna who helps brides plan their perfect day, but has ironically given up on happily ever after ever since her first love ended tragically, but girl-magnet Ambrose is not just ready to give up on her yet. Just like Nicholas Sparks, any Sarah Dessen novel is perfect for the summer.

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.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.

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. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.

Top 10 Reasons My School Rocks!

Why I Chose a Small School Over a Big University.

I was asked so many times why I wanted to go to a small school when a big university is so much better. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure a big university is great but I absolutely love going to a small school. I know that I miss out on big sporting events and having people actually know where it is. I can't even count how many times I've been asked where it is and I know they won't know so I just say "somewhere in the middle of Wisconsin." But, I get to know most people at my school and I know my professors very well. Not to mention, being able to walk to the other side of campus in 5 minutes at a casual walking pace. I am so happy I made the decision to go to school where I did. I love my school and these are just a few reasons why.
