6 Things to be Thankful for

With Thanksgiving around the corner, taking time to reflect on what you're really thankful for is vital. It's almost the end of the year, and with that comes a lot of things to be thankful for. A year, 365 days in total, is a long time and you're bound to be thankful for something.


1. Family


Personally, family should always be something to be thankful for because they will always be there no matter what. Even if there's tension there, now is the time to reflect and see all that your family has done. Family is a bond no one can break.


2. Education

I know this may not seem like a thing you should be thankful for, but it should be. An education is something that should be treasured because some education is scarce in some places.


3. Obstacles


Hear me out, the daily struggles you're going through is something that should be something big. They're the one thing that made your year unique from all the others.


4. Roof

Having a roof over your head is a blessing. It really is.


5. Food

Just like having a roof over your head, food is important. Even if the food is not the best, having something to put in your stomach is huge because hunger around the world is real.


6. Clothes


Clothes are expensive and, even if they're not brand name, they should truly be appreciated. As long as you have clothes on your back, trust me you're good.


Honestly, it's all about the little things. Being thankful comes with a lot of reflecting. Now is the time to reflect, but don't forget about the things that are always taken for granted.

birthday party

My birthday has never been my favorite holiday. I've found that I'm more excited to celebrate my friends' and family members' birthdays more than my own. I don't like being the center of attention, so I usually celebrate over dinner with a small group of family and friends. This way, I can enjoy myself naturally without feeling like I have to entertain everyone and make sure they are satisfied. In the past when I've had large parties, I was so nervous that people weren't perfectly content that I didn't enjoy myself at my own celebration.

College Informations

Most of us have already started the spring semester, and for those of you who haven't started yet, you suck.

It seems like coming back from winter break wouldn't really be a break all things considered, since we all come back to school and pick up right where we left off. We know exactly what to expect, yet we're unprepared every single time.

I'm serious

There are tons of unisex names that are popular: Taylor, Alex, Bailey, etc. There are also numerous names that are used for both sexes, but they’re not seen as “unisex” yet. People are slowly becoming accustomed to the dual use of these names, but for the most part, in their minds they associate certain names with certain sexes. And that leaves those of us with these names in many awkward situations.

I'm an anthropology major, and I love every minute of it. I couldn't tell you why, but I guess there's just something about studying different lifestyles that absolutely fascinates me. But anthropology majors definitely have our weird sides, especially when you go to a school that is filled with mostly Business and Bio majors. But us weirdos definitely have a lot in common, specifically these 16 things.

pale girl

Everyone has insecurities, that's just a fact. You didn't ask to be born this way. You didn't ask to inherit the one trait no one else in your family has. And you definitely didn't ask to be this ghostly white. But as soon as you've learned to live with it for a while (less wrinkles later on in life, right? right???) someone has to ruin it for you. They have to flaunt they're perfectly tanned body from Spring Break and hold their sun-kissed skin against yours. But I've had enough... here are the things that perpetually pale individuals are tired of hearing.
