6 Book Recommendations For The End Of The Year
Alyssa Gasa

In This Article:

We have about 3 months left in 2018. Although these are the busiest months in the school year, I am setting myself a goal to read about two books per month. These means from now until the end of December I will try to finish 6 more books. While to some this is nothing, to me I find it extremely difficult to find enough time in the day to schedule in extra reading time. Below are my recommended books that I will be reading for the rest of 2018!

1. "Harry Potter And The Goblet of Fire" by J.K. RowlingĀ 

A classic fall staple, you can't go wrong with Harry Potter. Currently, I am re-reading the fourth book in the seven part series. Choose to start them again or open your world to something new, these books are set during the fall time and will give you all the autumnal spooky vibes you need.

2. "Sleeping Murder" by Agatha ChristieĀ 

For the second book of October I wanted something a little smaller after finishing the Harry Potter. For this, the perfect book to read around Halloween is a murder mystery! Agatha Christie is the queen of murder mysteries and suspense so truly any novel by her you will find intriguing.

3. "the sun and her flowers" by Rupi KaurĀ 

To start off November, I choose to do something different by going with a poem book. This is a sister book to the Milk and Honey poems. If you want a dark, heartfelt, quick, and impactful read, look into these books! You can finish them in a night or spend a few days soaking in the words but either way you don't want to miss her words.

4. "The Secret Place" by Tana FrenchĀ 

For my second novel of November, I choose to go with a novel that was a dark and twisted tale. This book follows a detective and the murder of a boy in a boarding school. While trying to find uncover who murdered him and why, they are led down a confusing path of lies and secrets.

5. "Eat Pray Love" by Elizabeth GilbertĀ 

For December, I choose a book to bring out some inner motivation and self reflection. Although I have seen the movie, in most cases the books are better and more insightful than the movie productions. This is one I am really looking forwards to starting.

6. "You Are A Badass" by Jen Sincero

To end the year off on a good note I choose a "self-help" book that has really gained popularity. This book gives a sassy and inspirational guide to change your life in all the right areas and for all the right reasons to better love your life and the decisions you make in it.

Take these recommendations and make them your own! Find some inspiration to make that extra bit if time to challenge yourself to read something out of your comfort zone or that you have been desperately trying to read.

Today I started my third week of college at Minnesota State Moorhead. I have survived welcome week, finding my classes on the first day, and being an awkward loner in the dining hall. Even though I have yet to be here for a month, I have already experienced many thoughts and problems that only a new college student can relate to.

"Make sure to get involved when you're in college!"

We've all heard some variation of this phrase, whether it came from parents, other family members, friends, RAs, or college-related articles. And, like many clichƩs, it's true for the most part. Getting involved during your college years can help you make friends, build your resume, and feel connected to your campus. However, these commitments can get stressful if you're dealing with personal issues, need to work, or aren't sure how to balance classes and everything else going on during the semester.

In college, one of the essential things to have is friends. Yes, textbooks, a laptop, and other school supplies are important but friends are essential. Friends are that support system everybody needs. The more friends you have the better the support system you have. But you also have someone to share experiences with. And donā€™t settle for just one or two friends because 8 out of 10 times they are busy and you are studying all alone. Or they have other friend groups that do not include you. Donā€™t settle for just one or two friends; make as many friends as you can. After the first couple of weeks of college, most friend groups are set and you may be without friends.

For a moment your world is spinning. The phone alarm has just scared you awake and youā€™re flooded by daunting thoughts of the day ahead. You have three assignments due and little time to work on them because of your job. Youā€™re running late because youā€™ve hit snooze one to many times after yesterdayā€™s long hours. You dizzily reach for a hoodie, craving its comfort, and rush for a speedy exit, praying you will have time to pick up coffee. Does this sound familiar?

Finals week is upon us. It is a magical time of year during which college students everywhere flock to the library in attempt to learn a semester's worth of knowledge in only a week.
