8 Things I'm Thankful For

1. Family

My family has made me who I am today. My parents and my brothers have always been there for me. I can't count how many times I have needed them and they were there.

2. Friends

Without my friends, I don't know what I would do. Each has unique and different qualities that make me love them even more.

3. Music

Music helps me feel like I can really be whoever I want to be. I can listen to a song and have my feelings instantly changed.

4. Ability to change

I'll always be glad us humans have the ability to change ourselves. I can't imagine if people were always the same all the time.

5. Being able to keep learning

I enjoy being able to go to school even though it may not seem like it. Being able to learn helps people in everyday life. We continue to grow our brain and learn more things.

6. Healthy Body

My heart beating is enough to be thankful for. I am able to do whatever I want whenever I want; my body doesn't slow me down.

7.Happy Mind

My brain being happy is all I can ask for. Being able to think and be happy for myself is an amazing gift.

8.Writing

Being able to express myself through writing is truly a gift. I am able to write and my writing can't judge me.

Growing up with strict parents, you learn that a few things go unsaid. Manners are everything. Never talk back. Do as you're told without question. Most importantly, you develop a system and catch on to these quirks that strict parents have so that you can play their game and do what you want.

"Friends" maybe didn’t have everything right or realistic all the time, but they did have enough episodes to create countless reaction GIFs and enough awesomeness to create, well, the legacy they did. Something else that is timeless, a little rough, but memorable? Living away from the comforts of home. Whether you have an apartment, a dorm, your first house, or some sort of residence that is not the house you grew up in, I’m sure you can relate to most of these!

There is nothing quite like family.

Family is kinda like that one ex that you always find yourself running back to (except without all the regret and the angsty breakup texts that come along with it).

No matter how long your class is, there's always time for the mind to wander. Much like taking a shower or trying to fall asleep, sitting in a classroom can be a time when you get some of your best ideas. But, more than likely, you're probably just trying to mentally cope with listening to a boring lecturer drone on and on. Perhaps some of the following Aristotle-esque thoughts have popped into your head during class.

Bob's Burgers is arguably one of the best and most well-written shows on tv today. That, and it's just plain hilarious. From Louise's crazy antics to Tina's deadpan self-confidence, whether they are planning ways to take over school or craft better burgers, the Belchers know how to have fun. They may not be anywhere close to organized or put together, but they do offer up some wise words once and awhile.
