With Thanksgiving coming right around the corner, I couldn’t think of a better way to celebrate than by writing. So many amazing things have happened in my life this year, prayers have been answered, I have somewhat figured out what I want to do with my life, people have come and gone and of course there were those rough times as well. But all-in-all, this year has been one of the best ones yet and I could not thank God enough for all of the incredible things he has provided for me.

1. There are only two weeks left before fall break!

Can I get an "Amen?!"

2. Family

Helping in times of crisis or simply picking you up when you're down, there is nothing family cannot do to put a smile on your face.

3. Supportive friends

"Best friends forever never apart, maybe in distance, but never at heart."

4. The United States is still a free nation.

Something to remember, no matter who is elected Tuesday.

5. Morning coffee

Need I say more?

6. Supportive other half

Whether they’re your boyfriend, girlfriend, husband, wife or just your partner in crime, having someone close to you to do life with is probably one of the best things you could ever have.

7. The little things

It could be a bar of chocolate, seeing a puppy walking across campus, or a flower dropped at your doorstep, taking a step back to appreciate the little things will always brighten up your life.

8. New episodes of "Grey's Anatomy"

Though many things have changed since season one, the fact that this series is on its thirteenth season is something I will always be thankful for, no matter what is going on in my life.

9. A great joke.

10. Good health

Running to the doctor every couple of weeks isn’t always the easiest thing to do, and boy have I learned that this year, but when you and those closest to you are in good overall health there is not much else to be grateful for everyday.

11. PUPPIES

Because who isn't thankful for those cute puppy videos or pictures they see everyday while scrolling through Facebook?

12. Family traditions

Whether it's the stuffing you serve on Thanksgiving, reading your favorite book around Christmas or singing “happy birthday” super loudly to your siblings on their birthday, family traditions are something you will cherish in your heart forever no matter where life takes you.

13. Netflix

Because we all need some quality "me" time and I could not think of a better way to spend it.

14. An education

Beyond thankful to be able to live in a country where it is not frowned upon to be a female science major and follow my dreams.

15. Life

Because I am beyond grateful for a wonderful life full of things and people I love, all of whom have blessed my life in their own special way to help shape me into the person I am today.
