Must Read Books For The Summer

After binge watching all of your favorite TV shows on Netflix, you soon run out of things to watch. You have either watched every episode of the new "Orange is the New Black" season, or no other show has really caught your attention. So, you turn to a new form of entertainment: reading.

When you read the title of this article, you're probably thinking, "Summer reading? Are we back in high school? Where's the assignment to go along with the book?" No assignments here. This is for pure enjoyment!

So far this summer I have read three great books! "Dirty Rush" by Taylor Bell, "Gone Girl" by Gillian Flynn, and "The Girl on the Train" by Paula Hawkins.

"Dirty Rush" is a comedic book about a girl going through the recruitment process at her school, who finds that there are secrets some of her sisters are not sharing. If you like all things sorority, this is definitely a book for you! It's funny, sometimes true, and mysterious at times. I read this book in a day, so it is a easy read and can be enjoyed by the pool, on the beach, or at night before you go to bed!


"Gone Girl" is, so far, my favorite book that I have read this summer. I have always enjoyed reading mysteries, especially ones that include murder, romance, and suspense. This story will take you on a roller coaster with all of the plot twists it entails. I am the type who has to read the book before the movie, so be sure to engage in the story before mindlessly watching it.

"The Girl on the Train" is a thriller in which unfolds the different character's stories which are all intertwined. The story line is interesting, but it does take time for the story to develop. However, you still want to keep reading to see what happens in the end! "The Girl on the Train" is a fairly easy read and is also different from any other books I have read.


So, grab a book and get reading, because Reading Is FUNdamental.

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.
