11 Overlooked Things To Always Be Thankful For

Nov 21, 2016

With Thanksgiving nearly here, I am wanting this article to be a reminder of why we should not look over this Holiday and here are some reasons why.

2. Friends:

Friends keep us going, and it's so fun to do life with them.

3. Pets:

We can't forget about our furry pals either! Don't worry y'all, cats, rabbits, hamsters, etc., all matter too!

4. Faith:

Being able to worship freely is a privilege no one should take lightly, no matter what you are affiliated with, or believe in.

5. Education:

This doesn't include just college, but all grades, and being able to learn.

6. Means of Transportation:

I am reminded every day that being able to get around, or having access to public transportation is a gift that shouldn't be taken for granted.

7. Opportunities

No matter how you take this, opportunities are everywhere, and having the chance to take them is a blessing in itself.

8. Laughter:

Happiness and the sound of laughter makes me grateful to be able to see it and be around it, and to also experience it.

9. Chocolate:

Need I say more?

10. Gluten-Free Things:

How great is it that there is a type of food for everyone?

11. Sweaters:

It's that time of the year where it transitions to becoming windy and chilly to cold and freezing, so sweaters are a must during the holiday season!

There are many more things to be thankful for, but these a just a few to keep in mind as we sit around the table and eat tons of food with people we love and cherish!

Creating your schedule for the upcoming semester can be an exciting process. You have the control to decide if you want to have class two-days a week or five-days a week. You get to check things off of your requirement checklist. It's an opportunity for a fresh start with new classes (which you tell yourself you'll never skip.) This process, which always starts out so optimistic, can get frustrating really quickly. Here are 25 thoughts you have when registering for classes.

10 Thoughts Of A 5th Year Senior

What about those of us who don't do it all in four years?

"College will be the best four years of your life" is a phrase that we have all heard growing up. College is painted as a magical place to us while we are in high school. A place you go to learn, meet your best friends and probably have the time of your life while all of this is going down. Four whirlwind years, where everything that you've known changes and you start to learn what it means to live on your own, have a job, etc. But what about those of us who don't do this all in four years? Major changes, hard courses, switching schools, career paths changing, these are just a handful of factors that could extend your four years to five, six or seven. There is nothing wrong with taking extra time to graduate, but returning as a fifth-year is a little different. Most of your best friends have most likely graduated and moved and while you may be one of the oldest undergraduates on campus, you might feel as awkward as a freshmen. A world that became home and comfortable to you is still there but it's slightly different than you've known it to be and you have to find a groove to fall into. These are thoughts you'll have as you look ahead to returning to your college campus, with a victory lap planned.

In the 12 years since it went off the air, "Friends" continues to be adored by millions. The show that gave generations unrealistic expectations about love (or should I say lobsters?) and New York City apartments had a charming cast of characters that everyone could relate to at some point or another. Here are 17 times Ross, Monica, Joey, Chandler, Phoebe and Rachel accurately described life.

Aubrey Plaza is one of my favorite humans in Hollywood. She's honest, blunt, unapologetic, and hilarious. I just started my sophomore year of college, and found that some of her best moments can accurately describe the start of the school year.
