It's surprisingly not just sleep.

The Cards We Drew

Thanksgiving: the one time of year where you eat a lot of food in the good company of your family, friends and other such loved ones. It's also the time of year when you're given the chance to be thankful for the things in your life. As a result, I'll post about the things I'm thankful for in my life:

The Chance To Go to School at WPI

WPI was my dream school this time last year, when I was done applying to schools and was just playing the waiting game. WPI was more or less a reach school for me, so it was a miracle to have been accepted and to have been able to attend. Ever since, I have been thankful to be able to go here and experience the opportunities that I have been able to experience.

My Roommates

My roommates are overall wonderful people and I'm very happy we ended up living together. And that I have roommates who are okay with having a poster of Tom Haverford on our door. And that they put up with my shenanigans.

Pep Band

One of the first organizations I started participating in at WPI, I have found a family away from home. Shout out to the clarinet section, especially for the wonderful uses of memes. Also for making it bearable to get up for 8 am drill practice.

My Friends

Friends from wherever the heck I met you, I am grateful for you. You've probably made my life entertaining and still do. And also thanks for putting up with me asking you guys for random topics to write about when I have writer's block.

Tea

For making nightly physics bearable.

Coffee

For making my imminent 8 ams more bearable. Also for waking me up for physics and multivariable calculus.

Sleep

Need I say more?

Science

Science is an amazing field, and I'm happy to be going into it. Without science, there would be no modern technology, no modern medicine, and no refrigerators.

The Odyssey

I'm glad to be a member of "The Odyssey" at WPI! We're still in the process of becoming an official club and I can't wait to see how it will grow.

My Family

This one's kind of a given. I love my family dearly, and they have been incredibly supportive my entire life. There's more I could say about this one, but they probably already know. Happy Thanksgiving! See you soon!

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. 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.
