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!

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?

The holiday season is full of stress, debt, and forced conversation. While we rush through the month of December, it's important to take a step back and enjoy the moments before they're gone. Most families love to watch Christmas movies, but these beloved films provide more than entertainment. Here are 10 life lessons that I've learned from the holiday classics we watch every year.

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.

The holiday classics that shaped my life

1."But what would happen if we all tried to be like Santa and learned to give as only he can give: of ourselves, our talents, our love and our hearts? Maybe we could all learn Santa's beautiful lesson and maybe there would finally be peace on Earth and good will toward men."

"Sometimes the most real things in the world are the things we can't see."

"If you won't use your heart, who cares if it gets broken? If you just keep it to yourself, maybe it'll be like my rollerblades. When you do decide to try it, it won't be any good. You should take a chance. Got nothing to lose."

"Remember, no man is a failure who has friends."

"Life is made up of meetings and partings. That is the way of it."

"If you look for it, I've got a sneaky feeling you'll find a that love actually is all around."

"Sometimes things look good on paper, but lose their luster when you see how it affects real folks. I guess a healthy bottom line doesn't mean much if to get it, you have to hurt the ones you depend on."

"'Maybe Christmas,' he thought, 'doesn't come from a store. Maybe Christmas, perhaps, means a little bit more.'"

"Faith is believing when common sense tells you not to."

"There's room for everyone on the nice list."

Hopefully they will make you laugh.

6. Does expecting the unexpected make the unexpected the expected?

11. Is there a synonym for "synonym"?

12. If your shirt isn't tucked into your pants, are your pants tucked into your shirt?

13. Why is it called "quick sand" if you sink slowly in it?
