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.

And from that friendship, you may even find yourself lucky enough to have a few more friends, thus forming a group. Here are just a few signs that prove your current friend group is the ultimate friend group.

When it comes to television, there’s very few sets of on-screen siblings that a lot of us can relate to. Only those who have grown up with siblings knows what it feels like to fight, prank, and love a sibling. Ross and Monica Geller were definitely overbearing and overshared some things through the series of "Friends," but they captured perfectly what real siblings feel in real life. Some of their antics were funny, some were a little weird but all of them are completely relatable to brothers and sisters everywhere.

Her sister was a member, her mom was a member, all of her aunts were members, and her grandma was a member. She has been waiting her whole life to wear these letters and cried hysterically on bid day. Although she can act entitled at times, you can bet she is one of the most enthusiastic sisters.

Every kid in college and/or high school dreams of summer the moment they walk through the door on the first day back in September. It becomes harder and harder to focus in classes and while doing assignments as the days get closer. The winter has been lagging, the days are short and dark, and no one is quite themselves due to lack of energy and sunlight. Let's face it: life is ten times better in the summertime.
