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.

Raising the minimum wage to a livable wage would not only benefit workers and their families, it would also have positive impacts on the economy and society. Studies have shown that by increasing the minimum wage, poverty and inequality can be reduced by enabling workers to meet their basic needs and reducing income disparities.

I come from a low-income family. A family, like many others in the United States, which has lived paycheck to paycheck. My family and other families in my community have been trying to make ends meet by living on the minimum wage. We are proof that it doesn't work.

April Ludgate

Every college student knows and understands the struggle of forcing themselves to continue to care about school. Between the piles of homework, the hours of studying and the painfully long lectures, the desire to dropout is something that is constantly weighing on each and every one of us, but the glimmer of hope at the end of the tunnel helps to keep us motivated. While we are somehow managing to stay enrolled and (semi) alert, that does not mean that our inner-demons aren't telling us otherwise, and who is better to explain inner-demons than the beloved April Ludgate herself? Because of her dark-spirit and lack of filter, April has successfully been able to describe the emotional roller-coaster that is college on at least 13 different occasions and here they are.
