Reading Is For Everyone, You Just Haven't Found Your Book

In today's society reading books for fun is no longer common. Technology has taken over and most people would rather spend time on their gadgets. When I ask why this is so, the most common excuse I hear is books are boring, but the tea is all the TV shows and movies we love so much started off as stories.

Unless you're an avid reader, you probably do not know how to look for books and with the plethora of genres it can make the whole process a nightmare. But it's pretty simple, before going to the library or a bookstore, think about the genres of your favorite movies and TV shows. Then, go to your local library/bookstore and tell them the genres you're looking for and read the descriptions of each story just like you would do for a movie or TV show. Once you find the description that appeals the most to you, read the first few pages and if you find yourself immersed, then you've found the book for you!

I have met people who never read, but once I found the genres they were interested in I was easily able to pair them with a book they enjoyed. Reading can be as fun as binge watching once you find the one's that appeal to you!

Around the age of 12, when I was deciding whether or not to be gay, Satan appeared on my left shoulder. “Ramsssey,” he said with that telltale lisp. “Come over to our side. We have crazy partiessss.” He made a strong case, bouncing up and down on my shoulder with six-pack abs and form-fitting Calvin Kleins. An angel popped up on the other shoulder and was going to warn me about something, but Satan interrupted- “Shut up, you crusty-ass bitch!’ The angel was pretty crusty. She disappeared, and from that moment forward I was gay.

Senior Year Is Here And I Am So Not Ready For It

I was you not that long ago. I was once an eager freshman, a searching sophomore, and a know-it-all junior. Now? Now I am a risk taker. Not the type that gets you in trouble with your parents, but the type that changes your future. Senior year is exciting. A lot of awesome things come along with being the top-dog of the school, but you, right now, are building the foundation for the next 4 years that you will spend in high school. I know you've heard it all. "Get involved", "You'll regret not going to prom", "You're going to miss this". As redundant as these seem, they're true. Although I am just at the beginning of my senior year, I am realizing how many lasts I am encountering.

Why Driving Drives Me Crazy

the highways are home

With Halloween quickly approaching, I have been talking to coworkers about what scares us. There are always the obvious things like clowns, spiders, heights, etc. But me? There are a number things I don't like: trusting strangers, being yelled at, being in life or death situations, parallel parking. All of these are included when you get behind the wheel of a car.
