Happy Thanksgiving! Here are five of my favorite quotes that remind me to be thankful and appreciate the little things in life. There is so much to be grateful for.

1. “The more you thank life, the more life gives you to be thankful for.” -Unknown

If you have a positive outlook on life, like will reward you and give you even more good things to appreciate.

2. “I’m thankful for my struggle, because without it I wouldn’t have stumbled across my strength.” -Alex Elle

This has been especially true for me during my most difficult semester of college. I have faced so many struggles, but they have shown me how strong I am and how much I am able to handle.

3. “The beauty of life is in each precious moment. Stop and smell the roses!” -Unknown

Life gets busy and it is easy to forget about the little things. Stop to smell the flowers, it only takes a few minutes to appreciate the little blessings in life.

4. “The secret to having it all is knowing that you already do.” -Unknown

You can always want a bigger house, a better grade, more clothes, more friends, and so on. You are alive and you have people that love you unconditionally… in my opinion, you couldn’t ask for anything more.

5. “It is not happy people who are thankful. It is thankful people who are happy.” -Unknown

If you are thankful, you will be happy about all that you have.

Happy Thanksgiving!

For the entirety of my high school career, I was always seen as the goody-two-shoes. I never got in trouble with a teacher, I kept stellar grades, and when I wasn't doing extracurricular activities, I was at home studying. Even when I did go out, it was usually with a bunch of fellow band geeks. The night would end before 11:00 PM and the only controversial activity would be a fight based on who unfairly won a round of Apples-to-Apples when someone else clearly had a better card (I promise I'm not still holding a grudge).

Now that I'm officially an adult, I want to pursue some new things. I want to experience life in a way that I never allowed myself to do prior to entering college. These are the years that I'm supposed to embark on a journey of self-discovery, so what better way to do that than to create a bucket list?
