Nontraditional Things To Be Thankful For

"Let's all go around the table and say what we're thankful for..."

THANKSGIVING IS UPON US and you best believe that by Thursday at 8p.m. your Instagram, Facebook, Twitter, and whatnot will be filled with snappy posts about being thankful for the family and siblings, and family dog, and leaves. While these are great, I think maybe we need to look at the little things that make our world go round and be more thankful for them.

1) The simple fact that your coffee (or beverage of choice) doesn't spill on places cruising at 400 mph.

I don't get it, but I love it.

2) If you aren't allergic to peanut butter, that you aren't allergic to peanut butter.

I personally would die from being allergic, because I would eat it.

3) Knowing your alarm clock will go off in the morning.

You'd be literally nowhere but your bed without it.

4) Headphones for you..and others.

We love them when we don't love your taste in music.

5) Thanksgiving itself

Because when was the last time you had a real meal? Easter? Family weekend?

7) Laundry pods

They give you the exact amount of laundry detergent! What a treat!

8) CBS and other cable channels allow you to watch their weekly episodes for free.

Yes I know there's Hulu, but I follow two weekly scheduled shows...and I'm broke.

9) If you have all 10 fingers, that you have all 10 fingers.

Take a second to really think about how much you do with your hands and how you'd have to seriously adjust if you lost a finger. Appreciate having all 10 fingers to type on your laptop.

10) The heat stoppers that go in your Starbucks cup.

Heat stopper or making your drink less spillable? Regardless, it's nifty, fun, and also doubles (triples?) as a thing to chew on.

If I have learned one thing in my lifetime, it is that friends are a privilege. No one is required to give you their company and yet there is some sort of shared connection that keeps you together. And from that friendship, you may even find yourself lucky enough to have a few more friends, thus forming a group. Here are just a few signs that prove your current friend group is the ultimate friend group.

When it comes to television, there’s very few sets of on-screen siblings that a lot of us can relate to. Only those who have grown up with siblings knows what it feels like to fight, prank, and love a sibling. Ross and Monica Geller were definitely overbearing and overshared some things through the series of "Friends," but they captured perfectly what real siblings feel in real life. Some of their antics were funny, some were a little weird but all of them are completely relatable to brothers and sisters everywhere.

College is a great place to meet people, especially through Greek life. If you look closely at sororities, you'll quickly see there are many different types of girls you will meet.

1. The Legacy.

Her sister was a member, her mom was a member, all of her aunts were members, and her grandma was a member. She has been waiting her whole life to wear these letters and cried hysterically on bid day. Although she can act entitled at times, you can bet she is one of the most enthusiastic sisters.

Every kid in college and/or high school dreams of summer the moment they walk through the door on the first day back in September. It becomes harder and harder to focus in classes and while doing assignments as the days get closer.
