The Life of a Book Lover

17 Things Every Book Lover Can Relate To

ther it be going into a bookstore with empty hands, and leaving with twenty pounds of books, or lying on the grass on a sunny breezy day reading a book, we have all been there. Or at least, those who live that book loving life have been there. Here is a list of 17 things that you, my book loving brethran, might be able to relate to. So keep calm, and read on!

1. You never have enough shelf space.


2. It doesn't matter where you are going, when you see a sign for a book sale, all plans come to a halt:


3. Chanel #5 doesn't hold a candle to new or old book smell.


4. When you read a book, fall in love with it, and now it is your sole mission to MAKE EVERYONE ELSE LOVE IT AS MUCH AS YOU!


5. When you are on the VERY last few pages, and someone tries to ask you what you are reading or otherwise tries to instigate conversation.

6. When a book gets you all emotional and causes you to cry/yell at the character/blush/exclaim and you are in a public place when all these feels are going down.


7. When you get those Barnes and Noble gift cards for your birthday.


8. When you finish a book, and then realize....the next one won't be out until 2017...


9. When you finally get a book after being on the library waiting list for about 200 years.


10. You check out so many books from the library that you want to read and enjoy....but then you get assigned 8 million things to do for school. Most of which include reading books that you do NOT want to read, and your own cute pile of carefully chosen books just sits there....mocking you....


11. When you enter a bookstore and think "I'm home".


12. When you see a cute boy/girl in a bookstore....


13. When you pack for a vacation:


14. Reading outside on a sunny day= love.


15. Your response when people say that "they always see you reading, but what else do you do?"



16. When someone says they hate reading, you get angry. Really really angry.


17. Because at the end of the day, you really really REALLY love books.

Taylor Swift in orange dress playing a moss-covered piano on stage with bright lights.

A three-and-a-half-hour runtime. Nine Eras. Eleven outfit changes. Three surprise songs. Zero breaks. One unforgettable evening. In the past century, no other performer has put on an electric performance quite like Taylor Swift, surpassing her fans ‘wildest dreams’. It is the reason supporters keep coming back to her shows each year. Days later, I’m still in awe of the spectacle ‘Miss Americana’ puts on every few days in a new city. And, like one of Taylor’s exes, has me smiling as I reminisce about the memories of the night we spent together.

Students walking on a sunny college campus with trees and buildings.

"Make sure to get involved when you're in college!"

We've all heard some variation of this phrase, whether it came from parents, other family members, friends, RAs, or college-related articles. And, like many clichés, it's true for the most part. Getting involved during your college years can help you make friends, build your resume, and feel connected to your campus. However, these commitments can get stressful if you're dealing with personal issues, need to work, or aren't sure how to balance classes and everything else going on during the semester.

In college, one of the essential things to have is friends. Yes, textbooks, a laptop, and other school supplies are important but friends are essential. Friends are that support system everybody needs. The more friends you have the better the support system you have. But you also have someone to share experiences with. And don’t settle for just one or two friends because 8 out of 10 times they are busy and you are studying all alone. Or they have other friend groups that do not include you. Don’t settle for just one or two friends; make as many friends as you can. After the first couple of weeks of college, most friend groups are set and you may be without friends.
