Binge Reading

Just as Addicting as Netflix

Few things are more satisfying than finishing a book in one sitting. The feeling of completely immersing yourself in a story and getting all the way to the end without disruption. There’s really nothing quite like it. The book doesn’t even have to be good, it’s the act of reading that makes the experience great. This binge reading has consumed my life for some time now.

I read a lot. It’s sort of my thing. These days I mostly read for school, and I enjoy those readings for the most part. But there is always a part of me that wants to be reading something fun, even when I do not have time. To make sure I get a little bit of fun in my life I try to keep a couple books on hand that I can read to unwind after a long day.

Because I have so little time, I rarely get to devour a book in one sitting. I almost never feel that satisfaction of sitting down with a book and not moving until I finish.

Unfortunately, I tend to have the worst timing when it comes to binge reading. During stressful times I often turn to reading as a way to relax, and then I get swept up in the stories. I will stay up all night to finish a book if I like it enough.

Last semester I read a whole 5 book series during finals week.

I have found that binge reading is almost as life consuming as binge watching my favorite shows on Netflix, and sometimes I do both at the same time. There are worse ways to spend my free time I suppose.

Binge responsibly, my friends!

Books I've Binged Recently:

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.
