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

2. Politics

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

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
