15 Things College Students Are Thankful For This Thanksgiving
Providence Doucet

In addition to sleeping in until noon and eating free food, Thanksgiving break is a time for college students to really sit down and reflect on what we're thankful for. Depending on the student, there are a number of different things to be thankful for - having the opportunity to attend college being a huge one. Even though we could get all mushy and discuss how thankful we are for our friends, family and other loved ones, we must also remember the real MVPs and the little things that get us through our daily lives away at college.

1. Grade Curves

The best kind of curves are grade curves.

2. Student Discounts

"Sorry you're broke, here's 50% off on a Spotify Premium plan."

3. Cheap Used Books

Bonus points if they have stellar highlights and annotated notes.

4. Pizza Delivery

Better yet, I'm thankful for the people that invented pizza.

5. Last-Minute Class Cancellations

An email is nice, but I wouldn't be mad if I showed up to an empty classroom either.

6. Extra Credit

It's basically insurance for your grade.

7. Sparknotes

Work smarter, not harder.

8. Student Loans

Can we forget about the fact that I have to pay you back?

9. Netflix

Sorry, I had to include Netflix. Don't tell me you don't love Netflix.

10. Dogs On Campus

Going more than a week without petting a dog is unhealthy.

11. Dry Shampoo

If you possess the time and the effort to wash your hair everyday, I don't believe you.

12. Quizlet

Chances are, someone already made flashcards for the quiz you're cramming for.

13. Detergent Pods

Because regular soap and detergent is difficult.

14. Instant Coffee Makers

So easy a college student can do it.

15. Free Things

Campus movies, food, stress, sleep deprivation... free with purchase of tuition!

College students, what little things are you thankful for this Thanksgiving?

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.
