No matter what your major in college is, it doesn't mean you can't enjoy a good book. Whatever your preference is, whether it's fiction, non-fiction, sci-fi, or a comic book, we all deserve a break every now and then and what better way to escape the pressures of college than losing yourself in a good book. But, if you're anything like me, I just get so overwhelmed I can't decide what to choose. They all look so good and I don't know where to start. So, to make the decision process a little easier, here are some books you might be interested in based on your major!

1. English

You would think that because you're an English major, it would be easy to find a book that strikes your fancy. If anything, it just makes it more difficult. Your tastes range from the classics to the now, books as big as dictionaries to poems and short stories. Here are a few you should read that should spark some interest in your literary heart.









Murder, love, secrets. What is there not to love about these novels? (Except maybe the amount of pages in Bleak House. It's worth it though.)

2. Business

Even business tycoons and marketing moguls should read in their spare time. Whether it's about the economy, accounting, or finance, there's a book out there for you all as well! A book that might make you look at the world a little differently. A book that might open your eyes to something new. Here are a few you should check out.


Although one is a movie and another will be one shortly, that doesn't mean you shouldn't read the book! Trust me, the books are usually better. Wall Street, scandals, and who knows what else awaits you in these novels.

3. History

History is being made every day all around the world. History is said to repeat itself. So why not learn as much about it as we can? Whether it's fictional or a true story, there are many stories to be told throughout the years. Reading a novel, fiction or non, can help us better understand the world we live in today. Here are a few novels for you history buffs.








All set in different eras, and all huge parts of the world's history. Again, they may be movies, but these novels are so rich with life and history that everyone should take a chance to devour them if they can.

4. The Sciences

Yes, even those of us who aspire to be doctors and vets and all the other wonderful things those who major in biology, chemistry, and other science majors want to be when they get older, they deserve a good book as well. Here are some ideas for the science wizzes out there.


Fiction and non-fiction, whatever your taste, these novels are all right up your alley! Take a break and try one of them out if you're in thee mood for a science adventure.

5. Psychology

When it comes to psychology, books can take any turn. Digging deep into the mind, why we do the things we do, how we grow into the people we are, and what we're thinking can all play into a very interesting read. Here are some books for those of us who wonder about the inner workings of ourselves.

Thrillers, the inner workings of the mind, and slowly losing what sanity you have. What doesn't sound fun about that? These novels are a must read for those who love the mind and the problems that plague it.


6. Education

Taking some time away from learning how to teach others is really beneficial. Whether you're reading something that you think you may one day want to teach, or maybe reading about the life of someone who already teaches, reading is obviously going to be very beneficial for you. Here are some books for you try out.









These novels will inspire you to teach and influence the lives of the children and young people you're surrounded by. There are valuable lessons you can take into the classroom with you.

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.
