11 Things I'm Hella Grateful For On Thanksgiving

Ah, Thanksgiving...a day of food, family, and football. What better way to celebrate than to think about what really matters in this awesome day.

1. Food

Aaaaaaand if you're as lucky as me, you get to go to multiple houses and get twice the amount of food. That's not even counting the days of leftovers you get to enjoy!

2. Gravy

This amazing wonder truly deserves its own separate category from food.

3. Family

Aside from the snarky comments about what you're doing with your life, it can be pretty fun to be with your entire family, especially the cousins who are as cool as you.

4. Football!

Between the rounds of your meals, everyone is in the living room enjoy a good game.

5. Making Black Friday plans with the previously mentioned cool cousins 

What's more fun, the cheap prices or just goofing around in a store at 3am?

6. The Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade

Seriously though, some of the floats are pretty awesome.

7. A nice week long vacation

Not as permanent as Christmas where you don't see your friends for a month, but a nice little break from essays and calculus.

8. A good nap after stuffing yourself with, well, stuffing.

What feels better than a nice nap in your cozy bed after eating everything in sight?

9. Listening to your family argue about politics

Wow! Dinner and a show....until they drag you into it.

10. Pie

Pumpkin, Apple, Custard, oh the choices!

11. You can FINALLY start your countdown to Christmas without all the judgement.

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?
