8 Things I Am Thankful For This Thanksgiving

WallpaperFolder

November is the month that many people forget about. We go from the excitement of Halloween to Christmas mode in 5 seconds. We tend to overlook the great holiday that is in November, a holiday that is so special and important. Thanksgiving is the holiday where we get to spend time with our family and friends as we reflect on the things that we are thankful for. Here are several things that I am thankful for this Thanksgiving.

1. I am thankful for my family and the love and support that they give me

I would not be able to get through life without their love. We may not always get along but I know that they will always be there. Family is family and we will always love each other!

2. I am thankful for my two older sisters

They are both my rock. They always know how to cheer me up and how to make me laugh when I am having a bad day. The ties between sisters are unbreakable and I am so thankful for them.

3. I am thankful for my wonderful boyfriend

He goes to the end of the earth to make sure that I am happy and have the things I need. He believes and supports my dreams and pushes me to achieve them. Best of all, he loves me for who I am.

4. I am thankful for my friends

I may not have a lot, but the ones I have are the best. I may not see them all of the time, but we are always there to support and love each other.

5. I am thankful for being able to attend college

There are so many people around the world that do not have the opportunity to go to college. I am so blessed to be able to attend a good university while receiving a great education.

6. I am thankful for my job

Juggling school work, my job and club activities can be challenging, but I am so grateful for having a job. I am able to work during school so I can start to save for the future.

7. I am thankful to be going home for Thanksgiving

I am so excited to go home and spend the holiday with the people that mean the most to me. Many people do not get to see their family on the holidays, but I am so grateful that I get to do so.

8. I may not have the perfect life, but I am thankful for the one I have

I know that the obstacles that I have gone through are just shaping me into the person that I am supposed to be. I am thankful for being able to get up every day and work toward making myself a better person.

It’s here; that time of year when college students turn into preschoolers again. We cry for our mothers, eat everything in sight, and whine when we don’t get our way. It’s finals, the dreaded time of the semester when we all realize we should have been paying attention in class instead of literally doing anything else but that. Everyone has to take them, and yes, unfortunately, they are inevitable. But just because they are here and inevitable does not mean they’re peaches and cream and full of rainbows. Surviving them is a must, and the following five phases are a reality for all majors from business to art, nursing to history.
