If My House Was On Fire, I Would Save A Bag Full Of These 10 Books
Anthony Tran

If my house was on fire and I could save one thing it would be one bag full of these ten books. These books are the ones that I go back to and re-read time and time again because they have the best characters, storylines, pretty much the best everything.But, the reasons that these books have me in love with them is because they have the best and most important lessons.

1.The Entire "Harry Potter" Series by JK Rowling

Harry taught me that sometimes the best families are the ones we choose.

2. "Where She Went" by Gayle Forman

Adam and Mia taught me that even if you love someone with all your heart, for them to grow you need to let go.

3. "Because a Little Bug Went Ka-Choo" by Rosetta Stone

This book taught me that one little detail can set off a chaotic situation.

4. "Sloppy Firsts" by Megan McCafferty

Jessica taught me that growing up can’t happen all at once, it comes slowly and with maturity.

5. "Stargirl" by Jerry Spinelli

Stargirl taught me that you should always be yourself no matter what anyone else thinks.

6. "Lock and Key" by Sarah Dessen

Ruby taught me that the weakest people are the ones that always need someone.

7. "Thirteen Reasons Why" by Jay Asher

Hannah’s story taught me that it isn’t our actions that matter most but the outcome of our actions.

8. "My Sister’s Keeper" by Jodi Picoult

Anna and Kate taught me that what we fight for isn’t always what we need.

9. "The Song Reader" by Lisa Tucker

Leeann and Mary Beth taught me that to take care of everyone else you must first take care of yourself.

10. "Adultolescence" by Gabbie Hanna

Gabbie and her book taught me that we can’t always act as if we are okay, someday you will break.

I hope you found a book that you are interested in reading. These are all wonderful reads that i spend my rainy days on. And now I will read them all for the millionth time.

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.

Whether you met your new love interest online, through mutual friends, or another way entirely, you'll definitely want to know what you're getting into. I mean, really, what's the point in entering a relationship with someone if you don't know whether or not you're compatible on a very basic level?

Consider these 21 questions to ask in the talking stage when getting to know that new guy or girl you just started talking to:

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.
