Thanksgiving is just around the corner and there's no question that it's one of the best times of the year, especially because of the food! But Thanksgiving is also a time to be thankful for the things we have and often take for granted. So here are 50 things to grateful for right now:

1. Family

Because you need them more than anything.

2. Friends

The laughs; you need those.

3. Puppies


4. Cats

Even if you aren't a cat person, they're cute. No denying it.

5. The turkey you're about to shove in your face

6. Oh, and the stuffing too


7. The beach

Because nothing is more peaceful!

8. Fresh air

Better than breathing in swamp air.

9. Netflix

Because we all know it consumes 75% of your free time.

10. Donuts


11. Dunkin Donuts

Because you can't survive off Starbucks.

12. Football season

What else is there to do on Sundays?

13. Pizza


14. Traveling

Because we're actually able to get on a plane and go wherever our hearts desire.

15. Sunrises

Who knew the earth could create something so amazing?

16. Sunsets

A perfect end to any day.

17. The feeling you get after cleaning your room

Even though you know it'll be messy in 20 minutes, for the time being, it's the best feeling.

18. Vine (RIP)

The source of all of your hardest laughs.

19. Funny tweets


20. Christmas movies

21. Dog videos on Facebook

They make any day better.

22. Humans of New York on Facebook

They open your eyes and make you realize that some people have it worse than you.

23. Target

24. Chicken nuggets

...only from McDonald's.

25. Homemade meals

Nothing gets any better.

26. Concerts

There's no better feeling.

27. Old pictures

SO many memories.

28. Tacos


29. Spaghetti and meatballs


30. Baths

Because they don't require as much effort as showers do.

31. A hot shower after a long day

The most relaxing feeling.

32. Being able to sleep in your own bed


33. Warm blankets

They make any day a good day.

34. Fuzzy socks

They automatically make you feel good about yourself.

35. Hot chocolate

Like coffee without all the caffeine.

36. Feeling put together

Makes any day a better day.

37. Coffee, coffee, coffee

38. Warm tea

If you don't like coffee, this is a valid substitute.

39. Hugs

40. Kisses

PDA is OK sometimes.

41. Laughs with people you love

Arguably the best thing ever.

42. Videos of gorillas acting like humans

43. New shoes

Even when you're looking down, they keep your spirits up.

44. When gas prices go down

Finally, we don't have to use our entire minimum wage paycheck to fill up

45. Seals


46. Burritos

This is just a given.

47. Funny stories

Hindsight is 20/20.

48. Your high school yearbook

What's funnier than yearbook pictures?

49. PB&J sandwiches

50. The life you're living

Because even on bad days, we are so lucky to have what we do.

Bucket List To Live In The Now

Find excitement in your life and start exploring wherever you are right here, right now.

mu bucket list

I was sitting at my cubicle, now that I am an adult, looking at the rain pouring down on the windowsill, bumming on life, wishing for the rain to just stop for a full day.

There are moments where we count down the hours until work is over and how many more days till the weekend, and this many weeks until something exciting. Or something like that? Well, I was bumming because my next day off from work is not until Memorial Day weekend, which is not until the end of May. And since this is my first year out of college being a “real person,” I am totally missing the winter, spring and summer breaks. I am sure all of us have felt this way even if just for a hot minute…

It's officially December. There is less than a month of 2023, and I still feel like yesterday was summer. Now comes the merriest time of the year, the Christmas season.

Everyone has been waiting for this time of year since mid-October (which is way too early, in my opinion) or before. It's a time of love, family, memory-making, and gift-giving. A lot of times when I ask friends and family what they want, I get a lot of "I don't know" or "I don't care."

If you go to or went to Kent State, then more than likely you have done or will do some of these things.

1. You’ve slipped and fallen on the ice at least once.

The winters at Kent are brutal, and while the heated sidewalks and some great snow boots are always a help, there’s no chance you won’t bust it on the ice at least once in your four plus years at school.

Christmas is literally so close. We can almost taste it. But there is just one thing standing between you and the big day: FINALS. It's not the studying, lack of sleep, last minute cram sessions or crappy food intake that is the worst... but the fact that you cannot focus because, well, CHRISTMAS. How do professors expect you to focus when Christmas is soooo soon. For all my fellow Christmas lovers out there, I feel your pain.
