This Thanksgiving, we all have so many things to be thankful for. Let's take a moment though to really appreciate how lucky we are to be Lakers at Grand Valley State University. Here are seven things every Grand Valley student should be grateful for this season of thanks:
1. The Mary Idema Pew Library
We truly do have the best library around (as long as the printers aren't broken). Which kind of makes things better when we end up basically living there finals week.
2. T-Haas
You know you love him. We are so lucky to have a President that actually cares about us and our well-being. I mean, he even named his dog after us. That's true dedication.
3. Our beautiful campus
Fall may feel like it only lasts a week, but it's the most beautiful week on campus. You're dreading winter, until you realize GV is still pretty covered in white.
4. Not going to SVSU
Let’s be real here, it's not called GRAND Valley for just any reason. We are obviously better than the Cardinals on all levels.
5. Living so close to Lake Michigan
No matter what season it is, going to see the sunset at beautiful Lake Michigan is always a treat.
6. The bus drivers
Yes, they may be crazy drivers at times, but they do drive us college kids where we need to go (usually with a smile on their faces)! Let's also keep in mind that they pile us onto the already-full buses so we can get to the football games.
7. Making us friends for a lifetime
One semester at GV, and you've already found the people you want to be in your wedding. You know these people will be your friends forever.
