I DONT GET IT!!???

Okay, little rant here!

I fr do not understand why people LOOOOOVE to make the biggest deal about ABSOLUTELY, GOTTA HAVE, CANT LIVE WITHOUT special edition books, THE DAY OF RELEASE.

Can someone explain??

I mean, you can literally go to the store 3 days later…? ITS STILL THERE. ITS NOT GOING ANYWHERE. Like fr calm down! It WILL BE THERE!

For example! This whole situation about the #ONYXSTORM release and people BUYING OUT the ENTIRE STORE. Like what the actual FUCK?? JUST WAIT LIKE THE REST OF US?? 😑

I understand the whole “goodies” and shit, but like… to buy out THE ENTIRE STORE?!? Everyone made it such a HUGE deal?? Like i went not 3 days later, and guess what?

Barnes and Noble HAD AN ENTIRE

FULL. TABLE. OF. BOOKS. No. They were NOT sold out 😑 like the book WILL COME BACK. Just learn a bit of patience?? Idk. Maybe im just petty for not being able to get a book, since Target sold out, but i dont support stolen art anyway, so 😜 barnes and noble came thru, as usual!

Ps. Is it just me, or does anyone else think Onyx Storm was the ONLY special edition book that got THAT MUCH hype???

Is it just me??? #booksellerproblems #booknerdproblems #did i mention books #bookishproblems

... Read moreThe excitement surrounding special edition book releases can often spiral into frenzy. Many readers feel the urgency to buy immediate and fear missing out on exclusive items. However, should we be so willing to clear an entire store's stock? It may be wise to recall that these editions usually restock, and patience often rewards readers with ample choices. Not only does waiting allow you to avoid potential buyer's remorse, but it also opens the opportunity to find the book at a better price or with added incentives. In addition, many readers may not realize that the habit of over-purchasing impacts local bookstores negatively; supporting your community and responsible shopping can go hand in hand. Moreover, are special editions always worth the hype? Often, the collectible nature of certain releases raises the value of books, but readers should assess what truly adds value to their collection. Should it be the cover design, signed copies, or the story within? Reflecting on these questions can yield more meaningful reading experiences. As readers, it’s important to engage in these discussions and cultivate a respectful community that values the beauty of books above all. Whether you’re looking forward to the next hot release or can wait for restocks, each reader's journey reflects a passion for literature—one that deserves appreciation without the rush.

DONT take your notes like this
These are the biggest mistakes people make when taking notes in my opinion. Taking good and quality notes in college is one of the best skills you can develop. Having notes you can understand, get the full picture, and use later to connect ideas is the key to getting the most out of lectures.

“Dont eat too late, you’ll get fat.”
You’ve probably heard you “shouldn’t eat late at night” because it makes you increase hunger, slows down your metabolism, and stores more fat. Even I used to say and think this to myself. And although it certainly may cause discomfort when lying down to go to sleep and make it harder to sleep
