10 Things To Be Thankful For All Year Long

Thanksgiving is just around the corner, and I am reminded of everything I am lucky to have in my life. So I wanted to write about what I am thankful for all year long!

1. My mom

My mom is my absolute best friend, I do not know what I would do or how exactly I would survive without her. And I am beyond excited to see her tomorrow night! I love you mom, and I can't wait to see you!

2. My family

My family means the absolute world to me, they have always had my back and have supported me in everything I do. My success and where I am today is all because of them. I love all of you so much.

3. Music

Music has been my escape from the cruelness of the world, wither its singing or playing an instrument music has my heart. Throughout hard times, I leaned towards music to help me get through and it has helped me get through so much. And its one of the main reasons why I want to become a music teacher, to help others find a connection with music like I did.

4. My Friends

I don't know what I'd do without my friends, these past couple months have been hard very hard. They have kept me sane and out of trouble, and I am beyond thankful for all of them. I love all of you so much, thank you for everything you do for me.

5. My friends back home

I don't really have a lot of friends back home, there are a select few who still have stuck around and have been there for me. To those individuals thank you so much for being there.

6. My journalist family

I have only been a part of this group for a short period of time, but all of you mean so much to me. Thank you for welcoming me into the family with open arms and supporting me in everything I do.

7. Bri

MOM! But, all jokes aside you are amazing, and I don't know how I would survive without you. Thank you for encouraging me and being such a wonderful role model. I don't know what I'd do without you. Love you!!

8. Steve from "Stranger Things."

I mean....who wouldn't be thankful for this gorgeous man

9. My roommate

You are amazing for dealing with my shenanigans! You are my absolute best friend, and I don't know what I'd do without you. Thank you for being there when I needed you the most, and I promise I will always be there for you. I love you!

10. My organizations I'm a part of

You guys rock, thank you for keeping me busy and on my feet, love you all.

I am grateful for all of the wonderful people and things that I have in my life not just at Thanksgiving but all year round!

25 Beatles Lyrics: Your Go-To Guide for Every Situation

The Best Lines from the Fab Four

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

Waitlisted for a College Class? Here's What to Do!

Dealing with the inevitable realities of college life.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.

The Best Lines from the Fab Four

And in the end, the love you take is equal to the love you make

The sun is up, the sky is blue, it's beautiful and so are you

Love is old, love is new, love is all, love is you

There's nowhere you can be that isn't where you're meant to be

Life is very short, and there's no time for fussing and fighting, my friend

He say, "I know you, you know me", One thing I can tell you is you got to be free

Oh please, say to me, You'll let me be your man. And please say to me, You'll let me hold your hand

It was twenty years ago today, Sgt. Pepper taught the band to play. They've been going in and out of style, but they're guaranteed to raise a smile

Living is easy with eyes closed, misunderstanding all you see

Can you hear me? When it rains and shine, it's just a state of mind

Little darling, it's been long cold lonely winter. Little darling, it feels like years since it' s been here. Here comes the sun, Here comes the sun, and I say it's alright

We danced through the night and we held each other tight, and before too long I fell in love with her. Now, I'll never dance with another when I saw her standing there

I love you, I love you, I love you, that's all I want to say

You say you want a revolution. Well you know, we all want to change the world

All the lonely people, where do they all come from. All the lonely people, where do they all belong

Oh, I get by with a little help from my friends

Hey Jude, don't make it bad. Take a sad song and make it better

Yesterday, all my troubles seemed so far away. Now it looks as though they're here to stay. Oh, I believe in yesterday

And when the brokenhearted people, living in the world agree, there will be an answer, let it be.

And anytime you feel the pain, Hey Jude, refrain. Don't carry the world upon your shoulders

I'll give you all I got to give if you say you'll love me too. I may not have a lot to give but what I got I'll give to you. I don't care too much for money. Money can't buy me love

All you need is love, love is all you need

Whisper words of wisdom, let it be

Blackbird singing in the dead of night, Take these broken wings and learn to fly. All your life, You were only waiting for this moment to arise

Though I know I'll never lose affection, for people and things that went before. I know I'll often stop and think about them. In my life, I love you more

Obviously the best superpower.
