My little nephew is in 4th grade & has been back to school for 2 weeks. At his school they switch classes & he informed me that there is a little girl who carries a book with her "and reads it all of the time." I about died. I told him he should marry her someday cause that will be the coolest little girl he ever meets!!!

I was called weird because I carry a book around with me everywhere...and also because I'm a cheerleader... So there's always this one girl in my school who walk around in cheerleader uniform reading a 900 page book...ha..ha..😂😂

I think the scheduling idea is super important, too! If you make it part of the daily routine you'll always have time for it!

Something else that I find handy is to always have a book with you. That way if you're on a bus, or you have a free class, or a free five minutes somewhere, you can read even a few pages. Reading a few pages here and there during the day tends to add up, so it's worth carrying a book. I'm terrible for that type of procrastinating as well, where I'm not studying, but I'm not doing anything I like to do. It really sucks. Great video, those tips are great! :3

the video came at totally the right time! I never have time to read during the school year and by the time it's summer, I have a huge stack of books to get through.

Ha! I just filmed a video exactly like this! A lot of our tips are different so that's actually really awesome. MOAR READING!

I really liked your procrastination tips. I'm not a huge procrastinator, because I get a big high on getting ahead on my work and then doing the things I want without feeling guilty. But when I do, I do inevitably simply waste time for hours. I like the idea of letting yourself procrastinate. Giving yourself permission.

Thank you so much for making this video! I was actually thinking earlier today "when I go back to school, how am I going to find the time to read?" so all of your advice was very helpful :)

This video was actually so helpful for me. I am the WORST at reading during the school year. Reading random Wikipedia articles & scrolling through Tumblr...yep. LOL, these were great tips!

I really want to hug you for posting this video. Thank you!

Such a helpful video Regan! I always fail at reading during term time so thank you for making this!!

Thank you so much for posting this! School begins in 2 days :(, i've been loving your video's and i absolutely love your book reviews! Thanks x

I've been really worried about reading during the year, and this video has great tips that were presented in such a funny/interesting way! Thank you for being awesome! :)

Yes! This video is exactly what I need at the moment. I love to read, but am finding it difficult to do so with my hectic senior year schedule. It's gotten me pretty down as of late. I'll definitely put the reading before bed advice to practice, because that is a habit I fell out of doing over the years. I'd love to watch an apply to college advice video if you have the time, as that is what I'm dealing with now (it's stressful and exciting at the same time). Have a nice day/night! :)

Yes to more general college videos :D Also, your hair looks lovely in this video!

Also, I'd love to see more college advice videos from you. Like, how do you organize your work and get it done on time, how do you study, anything... girl, I can tell you're a stellar student. ;D

I need advice on how to deal with required reading--- I zone out as soon as someone orders me to read something even though I LOVEEEEEEE books

This video is going to be so helpful for me this year since I'm finally in Uni! Thanks so much Regan!

Thanks for the tips! Whenever you make wrap up videos during the school year, I notice that you read so many books each month and it's crazy impressive. I also like reading at night/before bed. I like carrying a book with me to school because sometimes teachers finish class early and people just sit there till the bell rings, so I just get out my book and read. :)

I'm reading Isla with a friend in September, and I'm really looking forward to it! Great video Reagan!

This was actually really helpful! I love your videos. :)

im so glad i found your channel!!

HAHAAHA Just loved your advices! Here, in Brazil I am studying for the college admission tests, so this was very useful. I love your videos :D

This is so original and awesome. Loved it :D

This is so cool because I've been reading a lot more recently just by integrating books more into my study time and taking it everywhere so I can read in those few minutes you've finished your work or whatever.

OMG your soo witty, intelligent and perfect !!! LOVE YOU REGAN

i tend to bring a book to all my classes and when my teachers are out of the room or if i finish a worksheet or test early, i read. :)

Thank you! I really needed this right now :)

This video is perfect! You're hilarious!! And these tips were excellent :D

Great advice, Regan! I work in an office at my University's library so I have a lot of free time. I always take a book with me. Plus, I am usually at class early (if I don't have a class prior to it) so I use that time for reading.

Thank you, the video was super helpful and had the perfect timing!!

Thank you!! I needed this :P Btw, I'd be really interested in watching a video with general advice for school!

''Short books are short'' YOU'RE SO DAMN RIGHT GURL. I was literally laughing when you said that... lol

I agree with you. Short books are the to go books during busy times. Thanks for the tips.

Loved this video! It's so perfect for me right now. I'm a college senior (starting class tomorrow!), and in the past three years I've been in school, I've never had time to read for funsies. I would always crowd my reading in during Winter Break and summer vacation. But, this year I am determined to read more.. So, I only brought to school with me the books that I didn't get to read this summer in the hopes that I will finish them this year. Thanks for the advice. It's really great!:)

I LOVE YOUR SHIRT

Great video! I do the same thing with giving yourself maybe an hours time for reading, it's like I'm coming to a compromise with myself "ok I'll read for this long or this many pages and then I work on my assignment till such-n-such point" and end up feeling actually motivated to do it:)

Thanks for this video, Regan! I'm currently in the middle of my university year and am finding it really hard to keep a good balance. I totally get what you mean about procrastinating with the wrong things, I do that allllll the time. Hopefully these tips will help! :)

I totally agree with you on all points! During school I only read at night time, like when I go to bed. And I have to keep your advice in mind to read shorter books.. school starts soon and I started The Bronze Horseman and my reading process seems soo slow even though I am ready two thirds in the book, its frustrating cause I feel like I didnt read much even though i did.. anyways really grateful for your advices!! I love all of your videos so much

Another really good tip (which is something I do) is to carry a book around with you wherever you go, because you don't know if you will find a moment to read while waiting for something. Reading one page, two, ten, it still gets you further along in the story than you were before, meaning it helps you get through the story quicker. Every minute and every page counts!

I'd love to see more college tips and such! :D Also, something I would do to help myself read during school: I would always read a few pages throughout the day. Before school, in between classes, lunch, after school before and after homework, ect. Before I knew it I knocked out quite a few pages without reading all at once! :D

Loved this video!! Thank you soooo much!

Thank you so much for all of the tips! Great video (:

The advice about scheduled time for reading is very useful - I always read when I commute to school and when I go back home. It become a very good habit ;) And also I think that during the school year it's better to read e-books on your phone, kindle or any type of a e-reader. I mean it's easier to take it with you, it's lighter than a book, doesn't destroy when you carry it in a bag and you have bigger collection to choose from :)

oh my god your personality is great

Great tips for reading! I'll think about setting a time to read everyday now since I've been in a reading slump and stopped reading Catching Fire for over 2 weeks now )-:!

I don't know about anyone else but I would love to see some tips & trick/general college videos from you! I'm going into my second year in sept. & still have yet to master routines/college in general. Any tips would be great & appreciated! Hope to see another one of your videos soon Miss Regan :)

this is such a useful video! I always find it hard to a lot read during the school year, especially if I have to read other books for school as my brain seems to merge the school books together with books I'm reading for fun so I forget everything I get totally confused about the plots of the books I was reading.

Going back to university in September this is definitely something that's been on my mind!! I always always read just before bed. Always got that free time then and it always seems to help me sleep too. Love this video :)

Thank you so much for the tips! It was very helpful 😁

This is good advice!! I'm definitely going to read with a friend! Seems like something that would motivate me so much! lol. Great video Regan!! - Farah

you are a genius. Yes! Use your procrastination time wisely!

Definitely needed this video! I leave for my first year of college tomorrow, and I was worried about not being able to read. So thank you (:

Great video! Really useful advices, thankyou ;)

This video is just perfect THANK YOU i need this video since i dont know ( forever could be accurate hahahaha). Thanks from spain, and yes please do some more advice videos please. Love your book recommendations :)

Thanks for these helpful tips Regan 😊 I'm almost back in school and I have plenty of books that I wanted to read during summer but never got the chance to =))

Great timing! My college starts back in two days. Hopefully I can read more since I won't have to read Aristotle and Socrates books like last year. I think another good tip is to make chapter goals, it makes read a big book more manageable.

Good tips Regan! :D I hope your moving situation is going well =) During college time i have at least 3 hours stucked in the bus to go and come back, end that is coverted in reading time \o/ YAY

Great video! I'm definitely using these tips!! :D

omg i preach this video to the high heavens

YEEESS thank you haha these are so useful omg I go to boarding school as well but it was harder because I used to be in a dorm! now im in my own room so its all good and yeah I basically spend all my free time reading whoops

Thank you so much for this!!

I didn't read a single thing at college last year and it made me really sad. This was so helpful! Thanks, Regan. :)

A song of ice and fire never feels like a chore haha. Nice video :)

I totally needed this

Thank you, thank you! School is already taking a toll on my free reading and i'm getting super sad about it. This will help immensely!

thank you for this video, I have just started Uni and need to read so much for class but also want to read my favorite books

Loved the Throne of Glass reference! Just finished the third book, Heir of Fire.

How to manage your homework and get it done faster! I always enjoy watching those videos!!

Loved this, subscribed :)

Loving the jazzy background music

General college advice would be awesome!

This video is great. Thanks for the tips really! I'm so bad at time management that I never manage to read much of what I really enjoy during school (I read a billion medical books though as I'm in med school). Anyway, during my tiny vacations I read like a series or smth and afterwards I am so mad at myself that I didn't read anything really worth my time that I start reading a lot of books at once but only manage to finish like one or two.

Great advice :) Thank you!

I NEEDED this video. Perfect timing! The procrastination tip will really help me. It's funny cause I'm procrastinating as I watch this video. -_-

Great advice, also I like listening to audiobooks on my way to class

I love the intro of this video it's funny😆 p.s you're gorgeous

I needed this video!! Just about to go into my final year and only managed to leisurely read during my third year only because it was my year abroad and almost all my credits didn't count so had a lot of free time xD thanks for the video!!

This is going to be helpful! Thanks

This was sooo helpful! Love your glasses, by the way! Where did you get your glasses?

I was just worrying about this very topic....you read my mind!

this was a great video and those are some good tips i'll try out---especially using my procrastinating time well (god knows there's going to be a lot of that...) :D

Lolz I read most of the asoiaf serie during finals (belgian college = shorter semester, followed by 4 weeks of "exam period" fun fun fun), I just was so hooked on them... I'd study for an hour, read for hour, study for an hour, etc. all day long. I'm cool like that.

How to read a book with friends? It seems fun but I'd like to see how people do it? Like do they plan an amount of pages to read by a certain date orrr

Awesome tips. So true about reading with a friend. I just hate thinking if my friend is ahead of me, they know things I didn't get to yet! Drives me crazy! Could you also make a video about moving into your dorm at college? I'm about to be a senior and idk that scares me a lot, being away from home for so long. I'm very conflicted about the whole thing

THIS IS WHAT I'M LOOKING FOR! OH THANK YOU!

It's funny because I had a REALLY hard time reading this summer. I only read like 7 books in the past 4 months, omg. I guess that happens when you have a full-time job and you spend most of your 3 hours of free time per day on the internet. When I go back to school my schedule will more open. I fell like 12 books behind on my Goodreads goal this summer, but I'll probably catch up when I go back to school! I'm a special case, I suppose, haha!

I always like reading in the morning before i start getting ready because it like wakes me up in a relaxing way and gets me excited to read throughout the day. The only problem with that is that 90% of the time i wake up late and barely even have time to put clothes on my body let alone read lol. This video was really helpful :) pls do more school advice videos! You seem like the kind of person who is really great at giving advice and stuff like that :)

yay, this was such a good video! :)

Thank you for this!

I totally agree with the read with a friend tag. That's the only way I got through my summer reading.

I'm in my second last year of high school, so I've been getting heaps of tests/assignments and that means I don't have a lot of time to read. I try to read before I go to bed, but with my job, extra curricular activities and studies, that isn't always possible. But I try to make time to read, because it's a really good way to wind down and not become stressed and burnt-out. Great video and great tips, especially the procrastination one :)

That procrastination thing is soooo true! Also, another tip: I like to listen to audiobooks as well as read physical books so I get in more reading time each day. I'm currently listening to the Mortal Instruments series every morning for about a half hour as I get ready for school. It starts me off in a good mood, and I'm able to get a lot more reading done every day. Also, I don't confuse it with the series I'm physically reading because even though they are both books, they are absorbed as two different mediums!

I know this video's kind of old lol, but I still found it super helpful! Thanks!

This is great advice! I'm going back to school this month (eep) and am sad about not having much time to read.

Great advice! I think this can apply to someone who has a career as well and works 40 hrs a week. I agree with procrastination and prioritizing. Setting a time every day for me helps with reading - as long as I read that day - it makes me feel more accomplished that day.

Thanks for the tips! I do the 'long books are for summer, short books are for the school year' thing too :')

I like what you said about not feeling obligated to read. I spent a lot of my time at uni feeling guilty for spending my free time watching TV or browsing the internet when previously I would have spent that time reading. I didn't feel motivated to read in my free time because I had to spend so much of my study time reading (I did an English degree). Now I've finished, I'm back to loving reading again so... yay, I guess! :)

Especially college advices about time management :)

Really great tips thanks! I've got some uni books to get started on and I'm going to give myself a reading time so I get through them :3 - L x
