5 Reasons Rereading Your Favorite Book Series Is Always A Good Idea
Kathleen O'Brien

Every bookworm has been there. You just finished a really good book, but now you’re ready to move on to the next one. But which one? You look at that large stack of books you haven’t read yet, an obvious candidate. The question is, which one do you pick? So you sit and struggle for a bit, arguing with yourself about which one, and then you make your decision. You pick up the Hunger Games and read it for the 3rd time instead. And that's okay! Here’s why rereading your favorite books is always a good choice.

1. You already know it’s going to be a good book

You aren’t going to regret reading it, because you’ve already read it. You loved it the first time and the wonderful thing about books is that they don’t ever change. Who knows, you might even love it more than you did the first time around!

2. You get to pick up on little details you missed the first time reading it

I don’t know about anyone else, but I’ve read the Harry Potter series 3 times. Each time I read it I discovered certain details I didn’t know about the last time I read it. I always forget about the final Quidditch match in Prisoner of Azkaban and how intense it is. By the end of the chapter my heart is pounding and my face is inches from the page wanting to know what happens next, even though I know what happens. It’s the little things.

3. You fall in love with characters all over again

There’s nothing like a beautifully written character. You have no idea what they look like (unless they already made a movie out of it) and you can’t stop thinking about just how cute they are. Going back to the beginning and watching their character develop is like watching your baby grow up all over again. I’m not crying… you are!

4. It’ll keep you busy

Whether it’s a trilogy or it’s got 20 sequels, you will always have a book to follow up the 1st, and it’ll keep you busy for a while. The more books in the series, the less amount of time you have to worry about deciding what book to read next! The next book is just right there! Just remember to always buy/borrow the whole series at once. You don’t want to finish a book at 1 am with a crazy cliff hanger and not be able to pull out the next one right away (trust me I’ve been there, it’s agony having to wait).

5. Because why not!

There’s really no downside. It’s a good book with amazing characters and you get to feel the happiness all over again (or maybe the painful, but beautiful sadness). Sure, you could be spending your time reading a new book, but they aren’t going anywhere. A good book is like a good friend. You don’t just hang out with it once and ditch it for someone new. That’s just wrong. Every book deserves love.

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.

Whether you met your new love interest online, through mutual friends, or another way entirely, you'll definitely want to know what you're getting into. I mean, really, what's the point in entering a relationship with someone if you don't know whether or not you're compatible on a very basic level?

Consider these 21 questions to ask in the talking stage when getting to know that new guy or girl you just started talking to:

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.
