This article is written by a student writer from the Her Campus at Stony Brook chapter.

Have you ever just taken a trip to Barnes and Nobles and bought a book knowing full well that you already have a couple in your TBR back at home? If so, here’s a couple of more confessions you can possible relate to (don’t worry you’re not alone). 

Bookworms = Hoarders

Guilty of still holding onto my ‘The Baby-Sitters Club’ collection 

Finishing the chapter is more important than sleeping

Just one chapter

It’s really annoying when people think we like to read textbooks too

Umm, please stop embarrassing yourselves by saying that now. 

Nothing brings more joy that finally getting to read a sequel you’ve been waiting for more than a year. 

When the pre-orders come in

Nosy and judgy

If I see you reading a book, I will try to peep and see which one it is and it will be the most important impression I have of you (sorry not sorry)

Might or might not have skipped work to stay home and finish my book

Also guilty of finishing a book in my car during lunch break

3 books are enough for a two-day trip right? 

Priorities…

Yes, I’m 22 and yes I still shop at the young adult section

Age is just a number

There’s always space

Because paperback > ebooks

Yes, I’m guilty of all these and no I don’t regret it at all and neither should you

First and forever love

President/Editor-in-Chief here at the Her Campus Stony Brook Chapter! I joined Her Campus in Spring 2018 as a Junior Writer and I am currently majoring in Journalism with a minor in Political Science. My personality is somewhere between Rachel Green and Phoebe Buffay. I call that balance. In my free time you can find me doing... I'm a college student, if I appear to have any free time I'm probably procrastinating.
