15 Good Reads For Spring

You know how certain songs give you seasonal vibes? These are like those, but with books.

Here are some of my recommendations for your reading list this spring (or summer, fall, or winter).

Tender is the Night by F. Scott Fitzgerald

Anything by Fitzgerald just screams spring, but this one is extra springy. It even begins with a vacation.

Pride and Prejudice by Jane Austen

Romance is the name of the game here, and what more is spring than a season of love?

Flux by Orion Carloto

Poems always bring about the feeling of regeneration to me, and this beautiful collection is no exception.

The Alchemist by Paulo Coelho

Journeys, adventure, and coming of age? Yes please!

Selected Poems by Robert Frost

Again, poems and regeneration, and Robert Frost's relation to nature is like no other.

The Beginning of Everything by Robyn Schneider

This one's a bit of a sad one, but it just feels like a teen movie right before summer begins. Prom anyone?

The Paris Wife by Paula McLain

This is more or less a biography of Hadley Richardson, one of Ernest Hemingway's many wives. It details her life in Paris, which could not be more spring-esque.

To Kill a Mockingbird by Harper Lee

Maybe it's just because I read this one for the first time in spring, but Harper Lee really hits hard this time of the year.

Poems by Emily Dickinson

Poems and Emily Dickinson. Need I say more?

The Secret Garden by Frances Hodgson Burnett

Between the forgotten garden and the mystery here, this one is kind of obvious as to why it's on here.

Captivating by John and Stasi Eldredge

For all my ladies out there this one discusses becoming more comfortable in your femininity, and spring feels so uniquely feminine to me.

The 5 Love Languages by Gary Chapman

Learning how to love yourself, your friends, and significant others is so important, especially in a season where everything is changing.

The Sacred Enneagram by Christopher L. Heuertz

This one's all about learning yourself, which is perfect for a spring cleanse period.

Anne of Green Gables by L.M. Montgomery

Farm life, a freckled girl, and just overall feelings of sunshine give this one a spring seal of approval.

Little Women by Louisa May Alcott

Jo March and her book writing is hugely self love based, and I think that's a big thing during springtime.

Whether it be spring or fall, these are all great books that you're guaranteed to enjoy.

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.

Top 10 Reasons My School Rocks!

Why I Chose a Small School Over a Big University.

I was asked so many times why I wanted to go to a small school when a big university is so much better. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure a big university is great but I absolutely love going to a small school. I know that I miss out on big sporting events and having people actually know where it is. I can't even count how many times I've been asked where it is and I know they won't know so I just say "somewhere in the middle of Wisconsin." But, I get to know most people at my school and I know my professors very well. Not to mention, being able to walk to the other side of campus in 5 minutes at a casual walking pace. I am so happy I made the decision to go to school where I did. I love my school and these are just a few reasons why.
