5 Reasons To Be Thankful For Thanksgiving

Thanksgiving is ultimately a time to gather with your family and friends and reflect on well, anything and everything. There is so much in this world to be thankful for and Thanksgiving is one of those things. Although we should be thankful every single day, Thanksgiving is that one day, a reminder for us to say "thank you."

1. Family Gatherings

As you grow up family gatherings are more scarce so any chance there is to have one, it is something to be thankful for because family is an ultimate bond no matter what.

2. The Meal

Prepping Thanksgiving dinner is no small job, it takes a lot of time and effort. We should all feel so lucky that we get to enjoy this feast with the people we love.

3. The Conversations

Thanksgiving is a time where so many different topics come to the table whether we love them or hate them (politics, college, relationships) we have to take them with grace because someday you won't have these conversations anymore.

4. Friends

During this time of the year, you really start to see how much of an impact your friends have on your everyday lives. You begin to see how much they influence you, good or bad, and how you wouldn't change a thing.

5. The Memories

Some of the best memories are made around the dinner table. Whether you're laughing your heart out, or crying, or sitting in silence these are the days you'll remember in years to come. Be thankful for this time.

New year, new semester, not the same old thing. This semester will be a semester to redeem all the mistakes made in the previous five months.

1. I will wake up (sorta) on time for class.

Let's face it, last semester you woke up with enough time to brush your teeth and get to class and even then you were about 10 minutes late and rollin' in with some pretty unfortunate bed head. This semester we will set our alarms, wake up with time to get ready, and get to class on time!

And so it begins.

1. Walk in motivated and ready to rock

Camping out at the library is not for the faint of heart. You need to go in as a warrior. You usually have brought supplies (laptop, chargers, and textbooks) and sustenance (water, snacks, and blanket/sweatpants) since the battle will be for an undetermined length of time. Perhaps it is one assignment or perhaps it's four. You are motivated and prepared; you don’t doubt the assignment(s) will take time, but you know it couldn’t be that long.

But what's worse than finals week is the last week of classes, when all the due dates you've put off can no longer be put off anymore.
