50 Things College Students are Thankful For

Thanksgiving is more then a time to gather around the dinner table stuffing your face with turkey, apple pie, and all delicious foods that make you cringe when trying to button your pants. It is a time to give thanks and reflect on what you are thankful for. Yes, our family and friends are the mature responsible things to be thankful for, however us college kids are thankful for more than the traditional "I'm thankful for my family and friends" statement.

1. Waking up to an email that says class is cancelled

2. Going back to sleep right after reading that email

3. Free Dunkin

4. And Coffee in general

5. Netflix

6. Good music at a Frat Party

7. Throwbacks that you and your best friends belt at the top of your lungs

8. Quizlet test answers

9. Walking out of class on a Thursday knowing that its officially the weekend

10. The three day weekend

33. Classes that you don't have to buy a textbook for (even better than Chegg)

34. Ramen/ Easy Mac/ Anything that you can just add water to and microwave

35. Air conditioning

36. That really good cafe day

37. Free Tee-Shirts

38. Sweatpants

39. The person who signs you into lecture when you just don't feel like going (You the real MVP)

40. Cuddling with your roommates after a long stressful day

41. Going home for Thanksgiving

42. Home cooked meals

43. Not having to pay for laundry at home

44. And not having to do your own laundry (thanks Mom!)

45. Showering without shoes on

46. Not having to sleep in a twin XL bed

47. Seeing your friends from your hometown

48. Your family (sorry I know I said I wouldn't be basic)

I think the hardest thing about going away to college is figuring out how to become an adult. Leaving a household where your parents took care of literally everything (thanks, Mom!) and suddenly becoming your own boss is overwhelming. I feel like I'm doing a pretty good job of being a grown-up, but once in awhile I do something that really makes me feel like I'm #adulting. Twenty-somethings know what I'm talking about.

I went to a small high school, like 120-people-in-my-graduating-class small. It definitely had some good and some bad, and if you also went to a small high school, I’m sure you’ll relate to the things that I went through.

1. If something happens, everyone knows about it

Who hooked up with whom at the party? Yeah, heard about that an hour after it happened. You failed a test? Sorry, saw on Twitter last period. Facebook fight or, God forbid, real fight? It was on half the class’ Snapchat story half an hour ago. No matter what you do, someone will know about it.

Chandler Bing

I'm assuming that we've all heard of the hit 90's TV series, Friends, right? Who hasn't? Admittedly, I had pretty low expectations when I first started binge watching the show on Netflix, but I quickly became addicted.

Working with the public can be a job, in and of itself. Some people are just plain rude for no reason. But regardless of how your day is going, always having to be in the best of moods, or at least act like it... right?

1. When a customer wants to return a product, hands you the receipt, where is printed "ALL SALES ARE FINAL" in all caps.

2. Just because you might be having a bad day, and you're in a crappy mood, doesn't make it okay for you to yell at me or be rude to me. I'm a person with feelings, just like you.

3. People refusing to be put on hold when a customer is standing right in front of you. Oh, how I wish I could just hang up on you!
