8 Things To Be Thankful For Regardless Of Your Political Affiliation
Victoria S Vosler

You know what I just despise. The fact that I have anything to complain about. I have so much going for me, yet I find something to block those good things out. So in the spirit of Thanksgiving here's 8 things most of us can be thankful for (if not all, who doesn't like horses).

1. Be thankful for family.

NO MATTER HOW MUCH THEY ANNOY YOU.

2. Be thankful for friends.

Because at the end of the day they're the ones you can't wait to see the next day. Five hours apart could not separate true friends.

3. Be thankful for a home and for nourishment.

If you have a home, be thankful. I wish we all had home but let's face it, some of us don't. So the next time you open up the door and your having a bad day, be thankful you have a place to lay your head and food to eat.

4. Be thankful for laughter.

5. Be thankful for a job.

EVEN IF IT REALLY, REALLY STINKS.

6. Be thankful for the freedoms you have.

I am so incredibly thankful to live in a country where I have the free will to do whatever I want! Do I feel like riding today or sleeping in? What should I wear today? It's the little things that we over look everyday.

7. Be thankful for your health.

I hope we're all in good health. I'm so thankful I've never had a broken bone or have been put up in the hospital for too long. I don't know what I'd do if I couldn't ride one day. True story.

8. Horses.

'Nough said.

18 Things I Want To Do Now That I'm 18

I'm technically an adult, so I'm legally required to live a little, right?

For the entirety of my high school career, I was always seen as the goody-two-shoes. I never got in trouble with a teacher, I kept stellar grades, and when I wasn't doing extracurricular activities, I was at home studying. Even when I did go out, it was usually with a bunch of fellow band geeks. The night would end before 11:00 PM and the only controversial activity would be a fight based on who unfairly won a round of Apples-to-Apples when someone else clearly had a better card (I promise I'm not still holding a grudge).

Now that I'm officially an adult, I want to pursue some new things. I want to experience life in a way that I never allowed myself to do prior to entering college. These are the years that I'm supposed to embark on a journey of self-discovery, so what better way to do that than to create a bucket list?

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.
