Im In College I Still Read for Fun

I’m In College I Still Read for Fun I’ve always been a bit of a bookworm, and one of my fears was that college would ruin reading for me. With all of the giant textbooks and stressful coursework  , how was I ever going to pick up a book for fun again? Cue Rory Gilmore: image from tumblr I’ll admit, most of the reading I do outside of the classroom involves reading the news or the instructions on microwavable food, but every once in a while, I pick up a book about something that interests me and isn’t required reading. I recently found out about the I-Share program; a University of Illinois library account that allows students to request items from other participating locations. The particular book I was interested in wasn’t available anywhere on campus, so I requested it through I-Share, and it’s now being shipped from Kankakee Community College to my residence hall’s library, free of chargeâ€"how convenient is that? Thanks to the helpful library staff working at Illinois, along with the participating libraries that make up the I-Share program, I can request all the books I’ve ever wanted to read. I think its safe to say that college hasnt  ruined reading for me yetâ€"I think my bigger problem is going to be making sure that I dont go overboard with all the library requests. Ria Class of 2018 I'm studying both Finance and Information Systems and Information Technology in the Gies College of Business. I’m from Los Altos, California.
