25 Page-Turning Books You Should Read By The End Of Summer
Pure Wow

Growing up, I would always participate in my local library's summer reading challenge, as well as summer reading assignments for middle and high school. Now that I'm in college, I've aged out of the library summer reading programs. I'm also not required to read anything at all this summer. However, now that I don't dread reading like I did growing up, I want to do as much reading for fun as I can before I have to read books that I am required to. So, here is a list of books I want to read/try to read before summer is over:

1. Sorority by Genevieve Sly Crane

2. Red Queen by Victoria Aveyard

3. Turtles All The Way Down by John Green

4. Inferno by Dan Brown

5. The Bell Jar by Sylvia Plath

6. Speak by Laurie Halse Anderson

7. Before I Fall by Lauren Oliver

8. Matched by Ally Condie

9. M Train by Patti Smith

10. Just Kids by Patti Smith

11. The Careful Undressing Of Love by Corey Ann Haydu

12. Shatter Me by Tahereh Mafi

13. A Court of Thorns and Roses by Sarah J. Maas

14. Strange The Dreamer by Laini Taylor

15. The Summons by John Grisham

16. They Both Die At The End by Adam Silvera

17. Hear by Robin Epstein

18. The Girl In 6E by Alessandra Torre

19. The Leaving by Tara Altebrando

20. A Pleasure And A Calling by Phil Hogan

21. Anna And The French Kiss by Stephanie Perkins

22. Graceling by Kristin Cashore

23. The Call by Peader O'Guilin

24. Passenger by Alexandra Bracken

25. Always And Forever Lara Jean by Jenny Han


These are all the books I want to try to read this summer, so feel free to join me. Reading helps to keep your mind engaged and keeps you productive over the summer.

Today I started my third week of college at Minnesota State Moorhead. I have survived welcome week, finding my classes on the first day, and being an awkward loner in the dining hall. Even though I have yet to be here for a month, I have already experienced many thoughts and problems that only a new college student can relate to.

"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.

For a moment your world is spinning. The phone alarm has just scared you awake and you’re flooded by daunting thoughts of the day ahead. You have three assignments due and little time to work on them because of your job. You’re running late because you’ve hit snooze one to many times after yesterday’s long hours. You dizzily reach for a hoodie, craving its comfort, and rush for a speedy exit, praying you will have time to pick up coffee. Does this sound familiar?

Finals week is upon us. It is a magical time of year during which college students everywhere flock to the library in attempt to learn a semester's worth of knowledge in only a week.

While these newbies wander aimlessly around the first floor, hopelessly trying to find a table, the OGs of the library are already on the third floor long tables deep into their studies.
