We know by now you’re probably reaching your wits end with books and reading. College will do that to you. But before you throw in the towel on reading, try one of these books. They’re great for lifting your spirits and will help you figure out life, school and everything in between.
1. Yes Please! By Amy Poehler & Why Not Me? By Mindy Kaling
Not only are both of these women hilarious to watch on television, but they’re also hilarious to read!
Amy Poehler lays out timeless advice like “everyone is scared most of the time” to “be whoever you are” in an absolutely hilarious way. She shares her story of success, along with all the ups and downs of being a strong girl boss.
Mindy Kaling is a favorite of Diva International Inc., and not just because she plays a gynecologist on television. Mindy’s book is full of all the comedic drama you would expect and is non-stop funny. Whether it’s discussing her short-lived experience as a sorority girl or the perks and challenges of minor fame, she does it in a way that will make you laugh and want to binge-watch The Mindy Project for days.
2. The Book of Awesome by Neil Pasricha
Sometimes you may not feel like reading an entire book, full of twists and turns and foreshadowing, and for those moments I give you The Book of Awesome.
Every page or two, Neil Pasricha shares a small act or feeling that makes every day awesome. It could be anything from “finally remembering a word that’s been on the tip of your tongue for so long” to “the sound of rain from inside a tent”. No matter what kind of day you’re having, this book will help you remember the wonderful things about life that you may have forgotten about.
3. The Girl’s Guide by Melissa Kirsch
Whether you’re in college or not, every young woman should own this book. It’s full to the brim of well researched and well written advice on everything from body image, to careers, dating, to money. Every piece of advice you’d ever need to help you feel less lost in your new found freedom as an adult woman can be found in this book.
I hope you have a chance to rekindle your love of reading with some of these books. You may just need it when you are up to your neck in readings for class!
