You guessed it: I love to read.

I always have, and I probably will never not love picking up a good book. Don't get me wrong, I love the feeling of physical books, and I will continue to buy them, but for some reason, having a Kindle I read more than I ever imagined possible.

I read all day, all night. This is 24/7 access to worlds just at your fingertips. Want to read a fantasy story about princes' and princess'? You can do that on your Kindle. Want to read about a historical figure? Your Kindle will have that. Any genre, any story that is published, your Amazon Kindle will have that.

Sure, physical books are great, and you can really do a lot with them, Kindle's are just the latest and greatest way to read, and to read a lot.

I absolutely LOVE my Kindle.

1. Easy access

Giphy

Endless amounts of books just at your finger tips. You can easily switch from book to book without the bulk and hassle of a physical book. How magical is that?

2. Kindle Unlimited

Giphy

Kindle Unlimited is a service offered by Amazon. It is $10 a month but you can have almost any book for free. Kinda like a library, but you get to keep it. $10 for every book you could ever dream of? Yes please!

3. The books

Giphy

Ever have that moment when you are at bookstore or library, and they are sold out/checked out of every copy of the book you want? NEVER happens with a Kindle. Bam, get it at the touch of your fingertips.

4. It's not just books

Giphy

You can buy any time of reading on a Kindle! Magazine, Newspapers. It's amazing.

5. The Kindle Itself

Giphy

Whenever you see someone that is also reading on a Kindle, you both smile. It's amazing. It's like a cult for reading.

Sorry, physical books. I still love you, but the Kindle is my main chick.

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.

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.
