It’s no secret that I love to read. Books are beautiful on both the outside and on the inside. They are full of incredible stories that take you to world that are both near and far. Book lovers are a unique group of people, and this list explains some of things that they experience on a regular basis

1. When you go to the library, you tend to get more books than you can possibly read before you have to return them.

2. If you don’t have any money and you go to a bookstore, and you spend hours there remembering what it was like to buy a new book.

3. You also cry internally because of all of the beautiful books you can’t afford.

4. And when you finally get paid, you have to continually tell yourself not to spend it all on books.

5. Used bookstores are your life because it means cheap books.

6. You might have a nervous breakdown when you think about all the books you want to read, but don't have enough time to do so.

7. Your dream house most definitely includes a huge library with all of your favorite books.

8. Reading books on an E-reader doesn’t feel as quite as good as a physical copy of the book.

9. If you spend some of your free time doing something besides reading, it feels like you wasted it.

10. When you meet someone who is as obsessed with books as you are, they are basically your new best friend.

11. Your bookshelves are probably overflowing with books because you have a hard time controlling yourself.

12. You are very protective of your books and only lend them out to people you would trust with your life.

13. The ideal weekend consists of reading for hours on end.

14. You are constantly exhausted because you stay up way too late reading "one more chapter."

15. All you want for Christmas is books.

16. You get jealous of people who have more books than you.

17. When someone tells you that they don’t read your heart breaks for them.


18. And if someone judges you for your love of books, you just ignore them.


19. Because at the end of the day, opening a book is a great way to escape from the world for awhile.

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.
