If you're like me, you read almost constantly to the point that you run out of books to read and have no idea what to try next. But never fret, here are five books I've enjoyed this summer so far that you should try too! To spice things up, each book is going to be a (hopefully) different genre, and I'm not going to try to give up too much of the plot.

1. "Pride and Prejudice"

Okay, I've read this book probably a billion times, but I never get tired of it. If you're the type of person who enjoys jumping back in time, this is the book for you. It's fun, romantic, and it made me laugh out loud several times. Jane Austen outdid herself with this one.

2. "Game of Thrones"

If you're the type of person who's into the middle ages, dragons, and badassery, this is definitely the book for you. The book follows several characters, so you're always hopping from one to the next, making it overall a very interesting read.

3. "Gone Girl"

If you like mysteries, this book is definitely for you. I just finished reading this about a week ago and it was absolutely insane. I had no idea who to trust in it and even now I'm still in shock from the way it ended. 10/10, would recommend.

4. "The Book Thief"

This to date is one of my all time favorite books. It's a historical novel that follows a young girl living in 1939 Nazi occupied Germany, narrated by Death. No- I'm serious. this book was actually narrated by Death. If you want to try this book though, I'd keep a box of tissues nearby.

5. "The Stand"

If you like Stephen King novels, this is the one for you. This was an absolutely terrifying post-apocalyptic novel. I don't want to go into much detail, just try it. It's seriously great.

If you need more inspiration, Goodreads is a popular website that has every book under the sun in it. You can look books up from genre, category, and even the year it came out. Now go find yourself a book, a comfy spot, and get to reading!

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

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.
