People think that the holidays are all about gifts but that's not the only thing that they are there for. It is a time to spend with family near and far. This Thanksgiving I have a lot to be thankful for.

1. I am thankful for my family that has supported me my whole life.

They give me strength in times of great need. I am also thankful for my extended family, it would take up too much space for me to insert pictures there is a lot of you. I thank each and every one of my family members for supporting me, even if they are here in spirit.

2. I am thankful for my friends.

I know even when things are tough we will all be there for each other every step of the way. I have made a whole new set of friends in college, but my high school friends will always be there, and I am extremely grateful.

Jen- I am thankful for your spirit. You have amazing spunk to you!

Carolyn- I am thankful that you are always there when I need you. You are an inspiration that has overcome so much!

Jason- I am thankful for your guidance and determination it inspires me every day.

3. I am thankful for the amazing Education that I have received.

Without this, I would have no idea where I would be. I know this is really bad but my town has one of the best education systems in Connecticut. This is my high school I am proud to be a #chieftan.

The holidays are always perceived as a time to get gifts. There is a lot more to this season than many people might think. It is a time to see family and reflect on the year. I wish everyone a happy and healthy Holiday !!!

Even though I have yet to be here for a month, I have already experienced many thoughts and problems that only a new college student can relate to.

"Make sure to get involved when you're in college!"

We've all heard some variation of this phrase, whether it came from parents, other family members, friends, RAs, or college-related articles. And, like many clichés, it's true for the most part. Getting involved during your college years can help you make friends, build your resume, and feel connected to your campus. However, these commitments can get stressful if you're dealing with personal issues, need to work, or aren't sure how to balance classes and everything else going on during the semester.

In college, one of the essential things to have is friends. Yes, textbooks, a laptop, and other school supplies are important but friends are essential. Friends are that support system everybody needs. The more friends you have the better the support system you have. But you also have someone to share experiences with. And don’t settle for just one or two friends because 8 out of 10 times they are busy and you are studying all alone. Or they have other friend groups that do not include you. Don’t settle for just one or two friends; make as many friends as you can. After the first couple of weeks of college, most friend groups are set and you may be without friends.

For a moment your world is spinning. The phone alarm has just scared you awake and you’re flooded by daunting thoughts of the day ahead. You have three assignments due and little time to work on them because of your job. You’re running late because you’ve hit snooze one to many times after yesterday’s long hours. You dizzily reach for a hoodie, craving its comfort, and rush for a speedy exit, praying you will have time to pick up coffee. Does this sound familiar?

Finals week is upon us. It is a magical time of year during which college students everywhere flock to the library in attempt to learn a semester's worth of knowledge in only a week.
