Thanksgiving recess is right around the corner for college students! Before we stuff our faces with mashed potatoes, corn and turkey, it is important to reflect back on the things we should be thankful for.

Here are 10 things college students should be thankful for this Thanksgiving and every day.

1. Coffee

Whether you run on Dunkin' or Starbucks, we have to thank our caffeinated frenemies for giving us the boosts of energy we needed to get us through exam season.

2. Class cancellations 

No tune is greater to a college student's ears than being informed that their class has been canceled. Especially if it's a morning class.

3. Test grade curves

Let's take a moment to appreciate curves and all the tender loving they have shown our grades.

4. The internet

When you're struggling with a reading, unsure of an answer, who will be there for you? The internet.

5. Quizlet

Quizlet is a student's best friend. It makes studying fun and not so dreadful!

6. Financial Aid

Dear Financial Aid, thank you for all the support and being the reason many of us are not drowning in debt.

7. Student discounts

I'm looking at you Amazon, Spotify and Hulu. Thank you for saving us some bucks here and there, it is greatly appreciated.

8. Naps

After a long day of lectures and intense studying, nothing is better than coming home and taking a nap.

9. Netflix

Though you may be the biggest distraction to us, Netflix, you're still there for us when our minds need a break.

10. Professors

Professors really do make all the difference of one's learning experience. Some professors care so much about their students and they help students become better learners, writers and push them farther than ever before. It is always nice to know that a professor cares for you.

So to the encouraging professors who care, thank you so much!

Have a happy Thanksgiving, and remember to gobble until you wobble!

It is that time of year again. Christmastime. It is one of my favorite seasons for a myriad of reasons. Here are just a few reasons why I love Christmas. This list is in no order of importance.

1. The Christmas decorations

I am that person who will decorate directly after Thanksgiving is over. This year, my roommates and I put the tree up in our apartment before we even left for Thanksgiving break. It is a great stress reliever for me to just sit in my living room and work on the huge amount of work I have before the semester is over.

Writing a paper is never fun and is rarely rewarding. The writer's block, the page requirement, be specific, but don’t summarize, make sure you fixed any grammatical errors, did you even use spellcheck? and analyze, analyze, analyze.

Papers can be a major pain. They take up so much time and effort that by the end of the process you hate yourself and you hate the professor for making life so difficult. Questions of your existence start roaming in your mind. Am I even cut out for college if I can’t write a single paper? Am I even capable of taking care of myself if I lack the energy to open my laptop and start typing?
