In her free time, freshman Darby Bashaw enjoys reading. Despite reading itself, Bashaw takes another particular interest in how her books fill up her shelves. 

“I started to like reading about a year ago,” Bashaw said. “I like how the books look on shelves, especially when my shelves are full. It’s just really satisfying to have the book filling up the shelves.” 

As she continues reading, Bashaw hopes to ameliorate her reading skills. 

“I want to start reading faster,” Bashaw said. “I’m going to start timing myself and stop re-reading sentences.”
