Well, holiday season is here! As November rounds the corner to an end, December will come right on in. I don't know about you, but for me, November and December are the most magical of months. Thanksgiving and Christmas scream family and friends to me. It is the one time the whole family stops everything just to come together and spend time with one another.

As I have grown up, I have started to see the holidays for something other than just gift receiving and giving. It is a time to be thankful for things. It is a time to be thankful for one another, especially family. Life is so very precious and being able to spend time with the most meaningful people in your life around the holidays is a beautiful thing.

To bring some light to this holiday season: Here are 10 things I am thankful for this year.

1. My family.

Today and everyday I am thankful for you. My biggest supporters and my biggest fans. I love you with everything in me.

2. My Jeep.

I mean, damn, have you seen her?! She's beautiful. But, I am mainly thankful that I have a car and that she is reliable.

3. My job.

Working with the public can be one of the hardest things, but having such wonderful coworkers who have turned into good friends make the job worth while. Plus, I have a job in the first place. I am thankful to simply, have a job.

4. Being an E.M.T.

I love what I do. I love helping others and I am beyond thankful that I get the opportunity to do so. I am also thankful for my Wednesday night crew- you guys make the job fun and ultimately, even more worth it.

5. My health.

I am thankful for my health today and everyday. Even if those winter colds are coming!

6. My home.

Beyond thankful that I have a place to call home. A place that has heat and blankets and a roof over my head.

7. My friends.

Life would be horrible without you. Thanks for always brightening up my days and being such wonderful friends. Thankful for you always.

8. My cats.

Evil and Eviler = Milo and Stella. They might be the craziest cats in the world, but I wouldn't want any other cats!

9. My life.

In general, I am beyond thankful for my life. I am thankful for waking up everyday and being able to do what I love to do. I am thankful that I get to be whoever I want to be and that I have the power to control that everyday.

10. My girl Cat.

I am thankful for you everyday. Here's to our first holiday season together and so many more to come. Thanks for coming into my life.

New year, new semester, not the same old thing. This semester will be a semester to redeem all the mistakes made in the previous five months.

1. I will wake up (sorta) on time for class.

Let's face it, last semester you woke up with enough time to brush your teeth and get to class and even then you were about 10 minutes late and rollin' in with some pretty unfortunate bed head. This semester we will set our alarms, wake up with time to get ready, and get to class on time!

And so it begins.

1. Walk in motivated and ready to rock

Camping out at the library is not for the faint of heart. You need to go in as a warrior. You usually have brought supplies (laptop, chargers, and textbooks) and sustenance (water, snacks, and blanket/sweatpants) since the battle will be for an undetermined length of time. Perhaps it is one assignment or perhaps it's four. You are motivated and prepared; you don’t doubt the assignment(s) will take time, but you know it couldn’t be that long.
