  Nothing beats the feeling of curling up in bed with your favorite book. With that being said, here are some of my top book recommendations.  Not to worry, I have included picks from every genre -- there is something for everyone! FANTASY Throne of Glass by Sarah Maas. Until recently, fantasy was a genre I had not read in YEARS (throwback to The Maze Runner, Divergent, Hunger Games, etc.).  However, I recently rediscovered the genre and Throne of Glass is my current read!  Throne of Glass is the first book in an eight book series and I am totally hooked.  I will say it is one of those books where you either love or hate it but if you are going to give fantasy a try this series is a wonderful starting point.  The language is easily digestible and incorporates a perfect mix between human and fantasy elements.  Also just a heads up this is a LENGTHY novel so buckle your seat belt, grab your favorite bev/snack, and hold on for the ride.  DRAMA/PSYC...

💭 I have been there.  Bored out of my mind because I have no real responsibilities at a particular point in time. Nothing I really had to be doing.  No school.  No job.  Just me alone with my thoughts.  Endless phone scrolling.  Watching others spend their time in productive ways while I spend it doing...nothing. These periods of inactivity can easily lead to comparison, feelings of extreme unproductivity and even depression.  So what can you do when there is seemingly nothing to do? I. Exercise.  💃 Exercise is amazing for the body and mind.  Better yet, there are so many forms of exercise to choose from.  In addition, exercise is a productive ti💭💭💬me suck that can occupy about an hour of your day.  My two favorite forms are weightlifting and group yoga classes.  I weightlift about 3-4x per week and take one yoga class a week. I can not recommend incorporating exercise into your daily routine enough! II. Find a hobby....
