how to actually enjoy required reading in college 🤍

hi loves! mindy here to share how i turned boring assigned books into something actually fun…

why traditional reading methods don't work:

trying to read everything at once

highlighting without purpose

reading when super tired

forcing yourself to finish chapters

my actually helpful method:

first impression ritual

quick flip through to see chapter lengths

read first and last paragraph of each chapter

check for dialogue vs dense text

identify main themes quickly

breaking it down cutely

divide chapters by your deadlines

create aesthetic chapter summaries

make character relationship maps

note interesting quotes in a pretty journal

making it enjoyable

create a reading playlist specific to the book or chapters

find a cute cafe or study spot

reward yourself after each chapter

discuss interesting parts with friends

memory tricks that work

voice record your thoughts while reading

create mini stories connecting themes

draw simple scene sketches

relate it to your favorite shows

After many years of not having one (since I was a kid), I've finally got a library card. I've had it for just over a week, and already I've borrowed a handful of audiobooks (listened to one of them), put holds on some eBooks, checked out the books on the shelves, and made use of the study space. And it's all free. FREE.

Folks, we must protect libraries at all costs. They are wonderful places full of magic... And books (okay, so magic and books are the same thing, but you know what I mean).
