Top 5 Books to read during the summer

Per my last article, I mentioned that reading is something students should take advantage of during the summer. So, I narrowed down a list of 5 books to read this summer. Enjoy!

1. "The Kite Runner" by Khaled Hossein

This book is fantastic and had me going up and down a roller coaster of emotions. This book also doesn't shy away from the conversational topic and is excellent for a book club discussion. So grab some friends and start reading!

2. "The Fault in Our Stars" by John Green

Looking for something more a bit quirky/ romantic? The fault in our stars in perfect and definitionally one of my go-to reads. John Green is a fantastic writer!

3. "Harry Potter series" by J.K. Rowling

Every summer I have a little tradition of re-reading the Harry Potter series. J.K. Rowling was one of the first authors that introduced me to the world of writing and re-reading the series has me falling in love with her writing every single time.

4. "Simon vs. The Homosapien Agenda" by Becky Albertalli

Simon vs. homosapien agenda was one of the first LGBT+ genres I read, and it was amazingly well- written, I couldn't put it down! I highly recommend this book before going back to school and maybe watching the movie adaptation, "Love, Simon."


5. "Fangirl" by Rainbow Rowell

I could go on forever about this one book, but I'll keep it brief. This book was amazing, and I loved the main character since I related her personality in so many different ways. This book inspired me to get back into writing and keep challenging myself. 11/10 recommend!

Summer is the perfect time to catch up on some reading, and these books are great for students trying to get back into that hassle. So what are you waiting for? Pick up a book and get reading!

Shout out to my homegirl, Noori for giving for giving me the inspiration for this article!

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.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

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:

Is there really such a difference in Challah bread or Easter Bread?

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.
