Here is a long list of what I'm thankful for this year!

1. People who cut lines during holiday shopping, so I can learn patience.

2. People who go Black Friday Shopping at 5 A.M., so that I can shop from the comfort of my bed.

3. People who get in heated arguments that hold up the line, so that I can have some sort of entertainment while shopping for presents.

4. My family's mechanic, who fixed the heat in my car because I'd be a whiny baby without it.

5. Hand warmers because they are a lifesaver when you don't have working heat in your car.

6. My pretty okay mental health. 

I think my dad is more thankful for this so that he doesn't hear me have panic attacks at 3 A.M. anymore.

7. Food so that I can eat with or without being disturbed.

8. How long my hair actually grew within two and a half to three years.

9. My bed. 

Once I am in, there is no possible way I am getting out of my bed for ANYTHING.

10. That I'm finally done this stupid list.


Enough of the sweet stuff, I'm going to bring up a very heated debate. WHY DO PEOPLE SKIP THANKSGIVING? CHRISTMAS CAN SIT THEIR BUTTS DOWN AND LET THANKSGIVING SHINE.

What is so bad about Thanksgiving? Lots and lots of food, laughter, chit chat, spending quality time together, and passed out when I eat too much. Stores need to stop putting up Christmas decorations in the middle of the Halloween season.

Don't get me wrong, I love opening gifts. I feel really bad about missing family members during Christmas. My medication also gets pretty wonky during the winter months because the cold makes me feel more depressed.

In conclusion, I'm a very stressed out human being who has too much stuff on her chest and that I'm ready to just leave if people are debating about Thanksgiving. EAT YOUR TURKEY AND SHUT IT.

Do as I say, not as I do.

Your eyes widen in horror as you stare at your phone. Beads of sweat begin to saturate your palm as your fingers tremble in fear. The illuminated screen reads, "Missed Call: Mom."

Growing up with strict parents, you learn that a few things go unsaid. Manners are everything. Never talk back. Do as you're told without question. Most importantly, you develop a system and catch on to these quirks that strict parents have so that you can play their game and do what you want.

"Friends" maybe didn’t have everything right or realistic all the time, but they did have enough episodes to create countless reaction GIFs and enough awesomeness to create, well, the legacy they did. Something else that is timeless, a little rough, but memorable? Living away from the comforts of home. Whether you have an apartment, a dorm, your first house, or some sort of residence that is not the house you grew up in, I’m sure you can relate to most of these!

There is nothing quite like family.

Family is kinda like that one ex that you always find yourself running back to (except without all the regret and the angsty breakup texts that come along with it).

No matter how long your class is, there's always time for the mind to wander. Much like taking a shower or trying to fall asleep, sitting in a classroom can be a time when you get some of your best ideas. But, more than likely, you're probably just trying to mentally cope with listening to a boring lecturer drone on and on. Perhaps some of the following Aristotle-esque thoughts have popped into your head during class.

Bob's Burgers is arguably one of the best and most well-written shows on tv today. That, and it's just plain hilarious. From Louise's crazy antics to Tina's deadpan self-confidence, whether they are planning ways to take over school or craft better burgers, the Belchers know how to have fun. They may not be anywhere close to organized or put together, but they do offer up some wise words once and awhile.
