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.

Things People Without A Typical 'Boy Name' or 'Girl Name' Know To Be True

All names should be "unisex names."

Tulane University

1088

There are tons of unisex names that are popular: Taylor, Alex, Bailey, etc. There are also numerous names that are used for both sexes, but they’re not seen as “unisex” yet. People are slowly becoming accustomed to the dual use of these names, but for the most part, in their minds they associate certain names with certain sexes. And that leaves those of us with these names in many awkward situations.

Washington College

I'm an anthropology major, and I love every minute of it. I couldn't tell you why, but I guess there's just something about studying different lifestyles that absolutely fascinates me. But anthropology majors definitely have our weird sides, especially when you go to a school that is filled with mostly Business and Bio majors. But us weirdos definitely have a lot in common, specifically these 16 things.

14 Things The Extremely Pale Are Tired Of Hearing

I get it... I'm pale.

University of Vermont

Everyone has insecurities, that's just a fact. You didn't ask to be born this way. You didn't ask to inherit the one trait no one else in your family has. And you definitely didn't ask to be this ghostly white. But as soon as you've learned to live with it for a while (less wrinkles later on in life, right? right???) someone has to ruin it for you. They have to flaunt they're perfectly tanned body from Spring Break and hold their sun-kissed skin against yours. But I've had enough... here are the things that perpetually pale individuals are tired of hearing.

Because you need it in your life.
