5 Things Bookworms Know To Be True
Chandini Caitlyn Gomes

Every book is filled with a story. Some stories will hook the reader more than others, but if your girl is truly a book lover, she'll finish a book that doesn't interest her at some point--even if it takes a few weeks. Nowadays, people are too busy looking all over social media to put down their phones and pick up a book. Even books have come in an electronic version thanks to devices like the Kindle and the Nook. Here are 5 things that happen when you give your book-loving girl, a book.

1. She'll disappear for hours at a time

Most of the time, I'm hiding in my room reading away, and I won't come out for hours. Even if I'm sitting right next to you, I'm not actually there. I'm lost somewhere within this book, but anyone who knows me knows better than to interrupt.

2. We cry over characters that don't exist

I'm guilty of reading the Harry Potter Series MULTIPLE times, and every time J.K Rowling kills the characters who have found their way into my heart, I cry every time. It's truly a mess

3. Sometimes you don't want a series to end

You dedicate all of this time to read book after book of the same story that continues on within 3-7 books (depending on the series) that when you finally finish the last book, you no longer know what to do with yourself.

4. You know you're most likely drinking Starbucks while reading your book

Reading is not complete without a cold or hot drink (I prefer cold.) There is a Starbucks located inside of every single Barnes and Nobles. So if you're a book worm, you know Starbucks is your choice of coffee.

5. There's a love/hate relationship with Barnes and Nobles

I love Barnes and Nobles. That store is my happy place... until I end up getting 5 more books than I originally had planned to walk out with. Once I get in my car, I've realized what I've done and I instantly hate myself.

Not many people can say they know someone like this. Books have died out to most of society and they're no longer a thought in some people's minds. While you spend all of your money on the latest electronics while I go drown myself in papers filled with words that tell endless stories.

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.
