Reading in the summer is the most relaxing activity I've ever experienced. And, I love more than anything to look up reading lists for the season, so I hope this list is of help to some as they gather books for the summer season.

Girl, Stop Apologizing By Rachel Hollis

Gir, Stop Apologizing

https://www.amazon.com/Girl-Stop-Apologizing-Shame-Free-Embracing/dp/1400209609

I just started reading this two days ago, and I'm already almost finished with it. It's not a book where you can just read a couple of pages and put it down; Rachel Hollis' fiery soul does not hold back, and you'll be thanking her for it long after you've finished reading her refreshing, life-changing guide about past experiences and living life to its fullest potential. "Girl, Stop Apologizing" is Rachel's way of saying that women are not being who they are truly meant to be; they're holding back. She gives advice to women about deleting the excuses that are keeping them from their dreams and shares what she's learned in her own life, in both work and love.

Come Matter Here By Hannah Brencher

Come Matter Here

Okay, I've spoken about Hannah Brencher more times than I can count, and it's because she was the first person to help me find what was missing in my life: a sense of purpose. When I read her first book, I related to her on a level I've never experienced before, and with this book, I hope to learn more about identity and purpose in my life and to find the strength to open up my heart and discover dreams that I've been too afraid to chase.

Steal Like An Artist By Austin Kleon

Steal Like An Artist

https://createmagazine.store/products/steal-like-an-artist-10-things-nobody-told-you-about-being-creative

Looking for your creative side? Austin Kleon will help you uncover the secrets to finding your creative niche, with a refreshing, humorous attitude that will leave you wanting to start living a dream you've had in the back of your head for years. Whether it's "to write the book you want to read" or to "make the movie you want to watch," Kleon will give you the desire to embrace your creative goals and to never allow yourself to believe you're not talented enough to live out those dreams.

Star-Crossed By Minnie Darke

Star-Crossed

https://www.penguin.co.uk/books/111/1116761/star-crossed/9781787631076.html

At my local library (because buying books is so overrated and expensive), I found myself in the new-release section, gazing at the cover of "Star-Crossed." The cover of this book is engaging as is, but what's inside will take you on a whole new adventure into astrological love. This novel follows childhood sweethearts Justine (Sagittarius) and Nick (Aquarius), as they meet again in their adult life and uncover a love story built on an astrology column in a magazine. This story is original in every way, and even if you don't live your life according to a horoscope, you'll find yourself lost in the love affair between Justine and Nick.

I Miss You When I Blink By Mary Laura Philpott

I Miss You When I Blink

https://www.amazon.com/Miss-You-When-Blink-Essays/dp/1982102802

In this memoir, bounded with experience and advice about home, work, an life, Philpott shares head-on about the anxieties and tensions of adulthood with an attitude built from intelligence and humor. She shares her own stories to show that losing yourself, or perhaps your identity, is perfectly normal, and it's a part of finding yourself and what you deem important in your own life. If you feel something missing from your life, give this book a read, and I promise you'll feel more assured.

25 Beatles Lyrics: Your Go-To Guide for Every Situation

The Best Lines from the Fab Four

SUNY Binghamton

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

Student Life

Waitlisted for a College Class? Here's What to Do!

Dealing with the inevitable realities of college life.

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.

The Best Lines from the Fab Four

And in the end, the love you take is equal to the love you make

The sun is up, the sky is blue, it's beautiful and so are you

Love is old, love is new, love is all, love is you

There's nowhere you can be that isn't where you're meant to be

Life is very short, and there's no time for fussing and fighting, my friend

He say, "I know you, you know me", One thing I can tell you is you got to be free

Oh please, say to me, You'll let me be your man. And please say to me, You'll let me hold your hand

It was twenty years ago today, Sgt. Pepper taught the band to play. They've been going in and out of style, but they're guaranteed to raise a smile

Living is easy with eyes closed, misunderstanding all you see

Can you hear me? When it rains and shine, it's just a state of mind

Little darling, it's been long cold lonely winter. Little darling, it feels like years since it' s been here. Here comes the sun, Here comes the sun, and I say it's alright

We danced through the night and we held each other tight, and before too long I fell in love with her. Now, I'll never dance with another when I saw her standing there

I love you, I love you, I love you, that's all I want to say

You say you want a revolution. Well you know, we all want to change the world

All the lonely people, where do they all come from. All the lonely people, where do they all belong

Oh, I get by with a little help from my friends

Hey Jude, don't make it bad. Take a sad song and make it better

Yesterday, all my troubles seemed so far away. Now it looks as though they're here to stay. Oh, I believe in yesterday

And when the brokenhearted people, living in the world agree, there will be an answer, let it be.

And anytime you feel the pain, Hey Jude, refrain. Don't carry the world upon your shoulders

I'll give you all I got to give if you say you'll love me too. I may not have a lot to give but what I got I'll give to you. I don't care too much for money. Money can't buy me love

All you need is love, love is all you need

Whisper words of wisdom, let it be

Blackbird singing in the dead of night, Take these broken wings and learn to fly. All your life, You were only waiting for this moment to arise

Though I know I'll never lose affection, for people and things that went before. I know I'll often stop and think about them. In my life, I love you more

Obviously the best superpower.

There have been many lessons learned.

1. The importance of traditions.

2. How to be thankful for family and friends.

3. How to give back.

4. What the word "community" really means.

5. That it isn't about the destination, but the journey.

6. The consequences of making bad choices.

7. To trust people, until you have a reason not to.

8. To be welcoming and accepting of everyone.

9. How to be my own, individual person.

10. How to work for what I want.

11. How to be great at giving directions.

12. How to be humble.

13. To be well-rounded.

14. How to be great at conflict resolution.

15. The beauty of getting outside and exploring.

16. To be prepared for anything.

17. That you don't always have to do it alone.

18. How to be creative.

19. To brush off gossip.

I have never been so thankful to know you.
