Its Time to Give Thanks!

With the holiday season fast approaching and Thanksgiving finally within reach, I thought it would be appropriate to share some of the things in my life that I’m thankful for.

I am thankful for:

Friends who…

• Take me on fun adventures (p.s. thanks for not making me walk everywhere)
• Bring me to their house for the weekend, show me their world and how they grew up
• Are always there for me when I need support or advice
• Send me cute care-packages with too many dessert items

Roommates who…

• Stay home on a Friday night to watch 10 Things I Hate About You with me (even when they fall asleep halfway through the movie)
• Pay for my pizza at Blaze because they still have $500 Bulldog Bucks left in the middle of November
• Always show me cute puppy/kitten videos (or any funny video for that matter)
• Gossip & complain about guys with me

Coffee that…

• Warms my hands when it’s freezing cold outside
• Is always Instagram worthy
• Helps me stay awake long enough to finish the essay I procrastinated on (again)
• Is made by a cute barista who isn’t afraid to strike up a conversation

Music that…

• Speaks to me when I need it the most
• Makes me want to dance and sing along 
• Brings people and friends together 
• Has a meaningful & deep music video to accompany it 

Parents and family members who…

• Send me Halloween candy because they know its not socially acceptable for college students to go trick or treating
• Always show their love – even when a significant number of miles separates us
• Send me handwritten cards and post cards in the mail just because 
• Text me pictures of my 7 month-old puppy that I miss so much!
• Talk me through “adult things” like how to fill out my voter’s ballot and how to get a stain out of my favorite shirt

So even if your GPA isn’t as high as you would like, or that cute guy in your 9am STILL hasn’t asked you out, I bet you still have quite a few things to be thankful for. Give thanks this holiday season!
