11 Things To Be Thankful For
Happy Thanksgiving Images

Just a few more days until we gather around the large table with family and loved ones and begin to dig into one of the largest feasts of the year. I, for one, cannot wait to go home and see not only my intermediate family, but also my extended family. During this time, we all reflect on our lives and find things to be thankful for. I can truly say that I am thankful for a lot that I have in my life. Here is a list of 11 thing I am most thankful for this Thanksgiving:

1. Mom and Dad

Not only am I thankful that I have both parent figures in my life, but I am grateful that my parents love me no matter what. They always support me and have raised me to be the young adult I am today.

2. Siblings

Even though we all get on each others nerves, I would not ask for anyone else to grow up with and have as friends!

3. Family

Like I said, I am not only thankful for my intermediate family, but also for my extended family. I am thankful that we can all get together over holidays and spend them together.

4. My Boyfriend

You are probably the only good thing that came out of the year 2016. I am so happy to have you apart of my life and always being so supportive! You are the best!

5. Friends

I am thankful for all my friends. You all constantly pick me up and know how to have a great time. I am so happy to have met each and every one of you.

6. My Dog and Cat

What is better than friends? Furry ones of course!

7. Education

I am thankful everyday that I am furthering my education by being able to attend a university that I love and feel at home.

8. Travel

I am thankful for being able to visit different and beautiful places.

9. Hobbies

I am grateful that I am able to express my love for writing by expressing myself on such an incredible platform. I am also grateful for being able to let loose and go country line dancing with some wonderful ladies!

10. Music

Not only to listen to my favorite music (Country to Rock) but also being able to attend live events.

11. To Wake Up Every Morning

Tomorrow is a new day! Give Thanks!

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
