5 Books to Read Over Winter Break
media cache

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.

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.
