10 Things To Be Thankful For This Thanksgiving

It's that time of year again. You know, the one everyone skips over to go directly to Christmas. If you're having trouble getting into that Thanksgiving spirit, here are a few things to be thankful for this year:

1. Your fall semester at college

Because what else would we need to talk about at Thanksgiving?

2. Politics

The only other acceptable Thanksgiving topic

3. Your love life

Except for maybe this

4. The great outdoors

Okay, so maybe not the movie, but is it really Thanksgiving if you don't go on a walk after you've eaten enough to hibernate?

5. Your ignored homework


How else are you supposed to take a break from the family?

6. Football

As if you were going to be watching anything else

7. That one family member you get along with


Your cousin, your aunt, your uncle, your grandma... It could be anyone, but we all have that one family member that keeps you sane during the holidays

8. The food

When else is it acceptable to eat twice your weight in food?

9. The turkeys

Well, if we're going to be thankful for the food, we might as well be thankful for those poor turkeys too

10. The Friends Thanksgiving episodes

If you don't think that Friends had the best Tthanksgiving episodes of all time, get out

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!
