Thanksgiving is this week and every year around this time it's a reminder of how much I have to truly be thankful for. Majority of the time we take things for granted in our life and it isn't until those things are gone that we wished we had them back. So this year for Thanksgiving I wanted to write about the five things I am thankful for and I encourage you to do the same. After reading this, tag someone who you are thankful for and let them know how much they mean to you. Sometimes it feels good to be reminded that someone is thankful for you.

1) Family

I definitely do not tell them enough how thankful I am to have them in my life. Life is hard most of the time, whether it is one thing or another, and my family has always been there for me. Through the good times and the bad I know that they are there for me no matter what. I am beyond thankful for the support they have shown me through the many years and I do not know where I would be without them by my side.

2) Friends

You guys are what make my life interesting, fun, and worth-living. I have been blessed with some of the best friends a person could ask for. I honestly don't know where I would be without you guys to party with, make me laugh, and help me figure out life. I love you guys so much and I am so thankful for each of you.

3) My Home

I grew up in a great home and still live in the same house I grew up in. When I look around I really see how lucky I am to to have grown up in such a great home and in the same hometown.

4) My Health

So even though I am not in the greatest health I have a lot to be thankful for whenever it comes to this. I have been through two heart surgeries in the past three years and I am still here to tell about it and that's the point, I'm still here. It hasn't always been easy, and still isn't, but I see so many other people who are going through worse things and realize how truly thankful I should be for my health.

5) My Life

This is something that I think we all take for granted most of the time but don't mean to. See at the end of the day, this is something we should all be thankful for every single day because whether or not your life is great or bad, it's your life. It's your life to live it however you want and we should be thankful for everyday that we wake up.

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. It becomes harder and harder to focus in classes and while doing assignments as the days get closer. The winter has been lagging, the days are short and dark, and no one is quite themselves due to lack of energy and sunlight. Let's face it: life is ten times better in the summertime.
