What would we do without books?

Even if you are not a big reader; I bet you still have a list of books that will forever be your favorite. It does not even have to be because of the book or author. It might be because your parents or grandparents or great grandparents read it to you every night or every time they saw you. It might be because of the pictures or the topic or genre of the book.

I love, love, love to read. I have a wide variety of genres I enjoy too. College really opened my eyes as an English major. There were books and poems I read that I never thought I would read in a million years. Some of them are on my top 20 books that I love. I get into a book and just can not put it down. If you read the first 3 pages and you are hooked it is so hard to stop.

My absolutely favorite genre is horror and it had been pretty much my whole life. Now that I am older and went to college I definitely like more genres. I especially like Shakespeare. My English professor, Dr. Schaffer, taught Shakespeare and she really made me love his stuff.

1. Goodnight Moon by Margaret Wise Brown

I remember having this read to me and me reading it on my own. Something simple to read and it is a cute book. The rabbit is just saying goodnight to everything he sees in the bedroom. I think the book also teaches children to say goodnight to anyone around you before you go to bed.

2. Christine by Stephen King

No, I do not like this book because the title just happens to be my name! I love the face that it is a horror book and what is cooler than a killer car? Just the ideas in the book are neat and it really makes you wonder how creative some authors are that they come up with this stuff.

3. The Hunger Games series by Suzanne Collins

Let me tell you how I was not going to read any of these because everyone made all this hype about them. I opened the first book and started reading and did not put it down until I was done the whole book. The whole concept of the series is so neat and the movies are amazing too.

4. Twelth Night by Shakespeare

Just read Sparknotes you will see why I love this play. Plus, it is a comedy. Lots of love gone sort of wrong.

5. The Shining by Stephen King

It is just so creepy it is hard not to love.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
