That combination of four letters can strike fear into anyone’s heart these days, especially since it drags with it a whole bunch of hard questions. Who should I ask? What should I wear? Will she say yes? These are just a few of the conundrums we find ourselves in at this time of the year.
Which YA Book Would You Like to See Made Into a Movie?
Recently, it seems like you can’t go to the theatre without seeing a young adult book made into a movie. It started with Hunger Games, and more recently The Perks of Being a Wallflower and Beautiful Creatures. This trend made me curious to research what other teen books are rumored to be going to the big screen. I stumbled across a site that listed 24 young adult books that are in the early stages of being adapted into movies! Check out the list below:
When I say homework, I’m guessing your first thought isn’t "Oh, hurray. I would so much rather spend my free time doing school work instead of hanging out with friends, playing games, or watching my favorite TV shows."

On March 2nd, students from Pleasant Lea Middle School's Library Club came together to promote Teen Tech Week by holding an informational seminar at John Knox Village.

Some days I can't get enough game time in to level up my character, Meowkins the 3rd, in Skyrim. My goal is to get to level 50 this month. I know; it's taken me forever to progress this far, over one year after the game's release.

It's like severing a limb. Okay. Maybe not that bad, but still, I was rather sad to lose my progress.

You know that awkward moment when you’re not sure whether you finally have free time or you’re just forgetting something? I’ve hit that, but I know I don’t have a thing left to do. Four years ago, I started my journey into University life, and now I’m a fully equipped English writing major with a Philosophy minor.
