Books You Should Add To Your Summer Reading List
BrokeByBooks

Life can be hectic sometimes, and it can be hard to find time to indulge. As a college student, summer is the only time I really get to read for fun, and that's sad because when I was in high school I would read for fun everyday. I basically lived in my school library. During the school year I'm always busy with class, homework, and hanging out with friends. When I do have spare time I tend to watch a lot of Netflix because I don't have the attention span to read for fun. It's important to make time to read because there's many benefits like stress reduction, knowledge, memory improvement, vocabulary expansion, better writing skills, better focus and concentration, and stronger analytical thinking. The mental stimulation of reading can slow an maybe even prevent alzheimer's and dementia.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.
