14 Things I'm Thankful For
Deanna, Content Creator

Holiday season is upon us and I would just like to take the time to express what I am thankful for.

1. My mother

I wouldn't be here with out her, literally. Words could never really show how thankful I truly am for everything you have done for me and everything you have taught me in life. I know you are in heaven smiling down and are so proud of me. I love you to the moon and back.

2. My father

I have learned so many things from you that nobody else could ever teach me. I value our relationship way more than you probably know. I enjoy our conversations and you always letting me vent about anything and everything. I love you and am so grateful for you.

3. My Grandma

She's always been my best friend even when we don't agree. She has been my rock for almost the past 4 years after I lost my mom and I could never re pay her for all that she has helped me with.

4. My boyfriend

Oh how thankful I am to have someone as wonderful as you in my life. You always do your absolute best to keep a smile on my face. I'm so beyond thankful for your endless love. Forever and always.

5. My siblings

Even though we don't always see things the same way or agree with all situations, they are still my siblings. I will always love them the same. Nothing could ever change that. I'm blessed to have such funny, good looking and caring siblings.

6. My nephew

Oh boy does that little one bring such joy and happiness to my life. He is such a ham and I just love him dearly. I find such amazement in watching him grow up. I love you little man!

7. My Aunt Virginia

She is truly one of a kind. Forever telling me how much she loves me even when I don't love myself. She sees nothing that I do to be wrong. She may be a handful sometimes, but I wouldn't trade her for anything in the world. I love her so much.

8. My Godmother

You could probably never understand how much our conversations mean't to me. You also probably could never understand what you truly mean't to me. I can't thank you enough for always helping me and pushing me to keep going. Thank you for being my go to when mommy died. It killed me to loose both you and mommy within months. I know you are together in heaven and always watching down. I know how proud you are of me and I know how much you love me.

9. My fairy Godmothers

God works in ways I don't know, but what I do know is he put you both in my life for a reason. You have helped me become the person I am today and have always motivated me since the day we met. You were not just my teacher and we both knew it from the start. I love you both madly!

10. My stepmom

You didn't have to love me, you didn't have to always be there for me, but you do and you are. I know it wasn't easy sometimes and I can't express enough how much it all means to me or how it really makes me feel. You are an amazing, intelligent and sincere women and I thank you for always taking care of Daddy and the family. I love you!

11. My cousins Zoe and Madison

Growing up with you girls was like having two more little sisters. I would do absolutely anything in my power to make sure you are both content and happy. Thank you for adding so much laughter to my life and loving me always. I love you both so much more then you know.

12. My pets

They show so much love and affection. We sometimes take for granted how much our pets need us and love us. They are like my children and I would do anything for them. I love my fur babies!

13. Life

Life is not promised and I find that so many take life for granted. I am so grateful every day for the life I was handed even though it has not always been an easy road. I am truly content with every thing that I have and every thing that I do not have.

14. God

I am so thankful for God who loves me, guides me, protects me and is always there for me. I'm thankful for every single day you give me to live and continue to reach my goals. Thank you for loving me more than words could ever possibly describe.

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.

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.
