Why I'm Thankful

For those who know me well, you all know that I absolutely hate asking for money. Unless my grandparents, mom, whoever, asks if I need money to buy whatever at school. I just will never ask for money unless I need to buy something for class, or I'm low on food; I'm not sure why I'm even like this, but I am. This brings us to a few Fridays ago, I was buying groceries. My grandparents had gone out of town, and left me money. However, I had to buy groceries and fill my car up, so I was worried that I didn't have enough money altogether. After seeing the total for groceries, I had to use my cash and my card too so I was worried about how I would pay for things the rest of the weekend. After looking in my account, I saw that my paycheck had been put in early. At that moment, words cannot explain the joy I felt. It was like God knew my heart and blessed me with that in that moment.

Adding on to this is the fact that I got a job after praying and praying about it. I knew that I didn't want my family to have to pay for everything that I needed, plus some, so it was definitely important that I find a job. After applying in stores in town, it wasn't looking good. They weren't hiring, and there weren't a lot of on campus jobs offered. Soon though, I got a call saying that I had an interview working for the Trotter House Bed and Breakfast. No, it isn't the easiest job. I work as needed, and hours may be really long or really short, but I can honestly say that I'm thankful for it. God has blessed me in more ways than I can imagine.

Next, I have been blessed with amazing friends and sorority sisters. I have never had a better group of friends and sisters, and I'm so so thankful for each and every one of them. I can always count on Darby to keep me company when I'm home, Erin to listen to my rants, and Ana to give me needed advice. My sorority sisters though, it feels like I've known them all forever. And they all make college feel like home.

As always, I'm so thankful that God blessed me with such a great family. I'm thankful that I could call or text any one of them, and they'd pick up. I'm thankful for how close we all are, and I wouldn't change it for the world.

I truly am blessed.

If I have learned one thing in my lifetime, it is that friends are a privilege. No one is required to give you their company and yet there is some sort of shared connection that keeps you together. And from that friendship, you may even find yourself lucky enough to have a few more friends, thus forming a group. Here are just a few signs that prove your current friend group is the ultimate friend group.

When it comes to television, there’s very few sets of on-screen siblings that a lot of us can relate to. Only those who have grown up with siblings knows what it feels like to fight, prank, and love a sibling. Ross and Monica Geller were definitely overbearing and overshared some things through the series of "Friends," but they captured perfectly what real siblings feel in real life. Some of their antics were funny, some were a little weird but all of them are completely relatable to brothers and sisters everywhere.

College is a great place to meet people, especially through Greek life. If you look closely at sororities, you'll quickly see there are many different types of girls you will meet.

1. The Legacy.

Her sister was a member, her mom was a member, all of her aunts were members, and her grandma was a member. She has been waiting her whole life to wear these letters and cried hysterically on bid day. Although she can act entitled at times, you can bet she is one of the most enthusiastic sisters.

Every kid in college and/or high school dreams of summer the moment they walk through the door on the first day back in September. It becomes harder and harder to focus in classes and while doing assignments as the days get closer. The winter has been lagging, the days are short and dark, and no one is quite themselves due to lack of energy and sunlight. Let's face it: life is ten times better in the summertime.
