Take Time To Thank Your Loved Ones

The month of November is all about a cool, crisp fall time where you feel all warm and cozy inside. This may be due to your oversized sweaters you've been wearing or the fact that this is the month of giving thanks. Sometimes we forget to thank the people for the smallest things that they do for us. We neglect to show our appreciation for all that they offer. The people in our lives are there for a reason and they are special to us in many ways. It is time to give thanks to them for all that they are.

Our loved ones mean everything to us. Not to be bias here, but I have the greatest support system on Earth. My family and friends mean absolutely everything to me, and I would drop what I'm doing in a heartbeat for them. Being there for someone shows that you care. It shows that you want to engage in anything that they have to say. A simple 'I love you' message will cause a whirlwind of smiles.

Thanking your loved ones for the smallest of things can make their day, or even their week. It is the little things in life that keep us going, and we should be reiterating our thanks. A little bit of appreciation goes a long way. Thanksgiving is coming up and we are often asked what we are thankful for. This year let us not make it about material things, but let us make it about our friends and family that are always there for us. Let's give thanks to those who care, those who will be there for the long run.

Our current state in the world needs all the kindness and support it can get. A simple smile to a passerby can start a train of good, positive vibes. Being able to cause something like that is an amazing feeling and I highly recommend it.

Next time you are talking to someone that you care about, please thank them. Thank them for being the type of person that they are. Thank them for having a great smile. Thank them for being there when you need them the most. Thank them for giving you a touch on the shoulder when you are down. Thank them for the tiniest sentiment. Giving thanks is extremely important and our world needs it.

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.

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.
