3 Things That I Am Thankful For

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 !!!

18 Things I Want To Do Now That I'm 18

I'm technically an adult, so I'm legally required to live a little, right?

Happy Birthday Cake

For the entirety of my high school career, I was always seen as the goody-two-shoes. I never got in trouble with a teacher, I kept stellar grades, and when I wasn't doing extracurricular activities, I was at home studying. Even when I did go out, it was usually with a bunch of fellow band geeks. The night would end before 11:00 PM and the only controversial activity would be a fight based on who unfairly won a round of Apples-to-Apples when someone else clearly had a better card (I promise I'm not still holding a grudge).

Now that I'm officially an adult, I want to pursue some new things. I want to experience life in a way that I never allowed myself to do prior to entering college. These are the years that I'm supposed to embark on a journey of self-discovery, so what better way to do that than to create a bucket list?

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.
