5 Books To Read This January
Frenchly

Every year, I renew my resolution to read more but lose steam halfway through the year. Here's all of the books that I have read recently that have to be added to your to be read list.

1. Everything I Never Told You by Celeste Ng

The Paper Trail Diary

Centered around the death of a half white and half Asian daughter in 1970s Ohio, Everything I Never Told You is a gripping story about the unspoken tensions between family members.

2. Every Last Word by Tamara Ireland Stone

Barnes & Noble

Sam is a young girl struggling with OCD that begins to find herself when she joins a poetry club. What I loved about this book was that it did not solely address mental health as its primary issue, but focused on Sam's layers as a person.

3. The Handmaid's Tale

You've always heard that the book is better than the movie (or in this case TV show) so why not try the written version of your favorite dystopian show.

2. Little Fires Everywhere by Celeste Ng

The Book Trail

Mia Warren is an artist and single mother who moves her and her daughter Pearl every few months after she finishes a project. When they rent a house from the Richardsons, trouble arises when Pearl becomes friends with the four Richardson children.

5. Meet Cute

Good Reads

Every cute romcom on Netflix has a meet cute and I gush every time I watch them. So why not read a book full of short stories that include just that? Each short story is by a different author that brings something new to the classic trope.

I hope these books give you the inspiration to start your year on a good (literary) note! :) Happy reading friends!

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.

Whether you met your new love interest online, through mutual friends, or another way entirely, you'll definitely want to know what you're getting into. I mean, really, what's the point in entering a relationship with someone if you don't know whether or not you're compatible on a very basic level?

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.
