5 Books to Read Over Winter Break

We all know there comes a time during winter break after the holidays that we all have nothing to do.It is one of the times of the year where you can actually read what you want to. I have some that I recommend you read this winter break.

1. Eat, Pray, Love by Elizabeth Gilbert


If you want a book to inspire you to take different turn of events in your life I think this is a great read. Personally, this book just makes me want to pick up and start travelling until the travel bug goes away (but does it really ever go away?). Also after you read it you can treat yourself and watch the movie. I think it's a win win situation.

2. Love, Rosie by Cecila Ahern

If you are into the cheesy corny unexpected expected love story then this is definitly the book for you. The book is written differently in the form of letter and emails.Even though the storyline is your typical cliche it is a page turner.

3. The Choice by Nicholas Sparks

This is also another cheesy book, however, it is a much easier read. Nicholas Sparks is never able to fail the romatic and cliche bits, which are included in the book.

4. Year of Yes by Shonda Rimes

This book has personally on my list since the summer. My goal is to read it through winter break and try to use it to continue my own journey with positivity. I think it would also be a great idea if you're starting to think of some good New Years' resolutions.

5. The Last Lecture by Randy Pausch

This is definitly one of the books I will always recommend people to read. It is one of those good reads that will change your perspective on life, and might even change your attitude towards certain situations throughout life.

Taylor Swift in orange dress playing a moss-covered piano on stage with bright lights.

A three-and-a-half-hour runtime. Nine Eras. Eleven outfit changes. Three surprise songs. Zero breaks. One unforgettable evening. In the past century, no other performer has put on an electric performance quite like Taylor Swift, surpassing her fans ‘wildest dreams’. It is the reason supporters keep coming back to her shows each year. Days later, I’m still in awe of the spectacle ‘Miss Americana’ puts on every few days in a new city. And, like one of Taylor’s exes, has me smiling as I reminisce about the memories of the night we spent together.

Today I started my third week of college at Minnesota State Moorhead. I have survived welcome week, finding my classes on the first day, and being an awkward loner in the dining hall. Even though I have yet to be here for a month, I have already experienced many thoughts and problems that only a new college student can relate to.

"Make sure to get involved when you're in college!"

We've all heard some variation of this phrase, whether it came from parents, other family members, friends, RAs, or college-related articles. And, like many clichés, it's true for the most part. Getting involved during your college years can help you make friends, build your resume, and feel connected to your campus. However, these commitments can get stressful if you're dealing with personal issues, need to work, or aren't sure how to balance classes and everything else going on during the semester.

In college, one of the essential things to have is friends. Yes, textbooks, a laptop, and other school supplies are important but friends are essential. Friends are that support system everybody needs. The more friends you have the better the support system you have. But you also have someone to share experiences with. And don’t settle for just one or two friends because 8 out of 10 times they are busy and you are studying all alone. Or they have other friend groups that do not include you. Don’t settle for just one or two friends; make as many friends as you can. After the first couple of weeks of college, most friend groups are set and you may be without friends.

For a moment your world is spinning. The phone alarm has just scared you awake and you’re flooded by daunting thoughts of the day ahead. You have three assignments due and little time to work on them because of your job. You’re running late because you’ve hit snooze one to many times after yesterday’s long hours. You dizzily reach for a hoodie, craving its comfort, and rush for a speedy exit, praying you will have time to pick up coffee. Does this sound familiar?
