Bucket Reading List: Top 5 - Classics Edition


Today I thought I'd come at you with some books because who doesn't love books? Better yet, who doesn't love a good list of books you have and have vowed to read so many times it's reached the point where you just pass them and bitterly sigh, "Before I die I will read you" because that's the best you can hope for?

I do! So here you are. Read and enjoy :)

1) Anna Karenina - Leo Tolstoy
     I have literally started and stopped this book at least 12 times--can anyone else relate?

2) Lolita - Vladimir Nabokov
     Almost finished this book like 6 years ago but stopped 75% of the way--Nabokov is disturbed.

3) Diary of a Young Girl - Anne Frank
     This I'm just too scared to read, which I know is a chicken shit excuse--she lived it--but nonetheless I'm too chicken shit to start it.

4) The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde - Robert Louis Stevenson 
     It's just so used in pop culture yet I've never read it and I feel that's wrong.

5) The Phantom of the Opera - Gaston Leroux
     Again so popular and have never read it.


Are any of these on your bucket reading list? What are your top 5?

Share your struggles and comment down below :)

Have a wonderful day and go start a book.

Sincerely,
Cori

How to Deal with Conflict

This week I'm going to talk about conflict. We deal with it a lot, and after researching it for a class I took last semester, I thought I would share what I learned about how to make conflict a positive thing. To kick this off I'm going to overview the 3 sources of conflict in any given situation. First is Task Conflict which is basically just creative differences, Process Conflict which is essentially the spirit of get off my lawn, and then Relationship Conflict which is simply interpersonal incompatibility. Now, no matter which type you're dealing with it effects everyone involved even if it's ignored. You never actually ignore conflict it just accumulates and makes you bitter, so dealing with it is always the best plan but how do you do that effectively? How do you make it a good thing? Most people don't tend to see conflict as an opportunity to solve a problem or come to a middle ground. We have a tendency, I feel like, to dig our heels in because we...

2 Things That Will Motivate You To Get Stuff Done This Weekend

I don't know about you but I have a hard time getting motivated. If I'm going to get anything done I have to first hurdle over Netflix, Hulu, and Amazon Prime to get there and let's face it--that is not easy task. But if you start slow you do eventually get somewhere. 1. A Podcast: Podcasts are great because they entertain your mind while you get on with other things, and once you're addicted to a podcast you find you don't want to just sit there and listen so you end up doing other stuff (like dishes and laundry). It's a nice boost if you're trying to get some things done because you're not stuck to watching something so you're free wander around and do what you need to do. If you like the supernatural and history I recommend Lore . I just finished all the available episodes and started over. It's amazing. There's also a show on Amazon Prime that's was renewed for a season two so look out for that too but that will suck you into Cou...

Why You Need to Watch "Timeless" Sundays on NBC 10/9c

Ok, so I have feelings about this and all the #Clockblockers who campaigned for it's renewal in 2017 will know the struggle is real. They'll remember the disappointment when we heard it had been cancelled, and how elated we were when we heard that we changed NBC's mind. So I'm going to tell you why you should jump on the Lifeboat with us, because I promise you it's worth it. It's honest about history : Not only does Timeless maintain as much historical accuracy as humanly possible when it comes to events, but it is real about the times. Any of my fellow Whovians will remember Martha (incredible, GOOD, Martha), and the Shakespeare episode. She's black and asks the Doctor if she'll be ok--to which he responds yeah and tells her to just walk around like she owns the place because that always works for him--a white guy. While I don't condemn them for sidestepping an issue people are afraid to talk about, it does encourage the glossing over of histo...
