The Things I Am Thankful For

As Thanksgiving approaches, take a minute to acknowledge the things you are thankful for.

Nov 21, 2016

As Thanksgiving approaches, I have been spending more and more time thinking about the things I am thankful for. I do not have a long list, but the thinks that I am thankful for mean so much to me, so I decided to share them with all of you! (These are in no particular order)

1. My Family

As crazy as they are sometimes, my family is my biggest support system. I run to my parents with any issue I have and they listen and do what they can to talk me through and help me with my problems. My brothers help when I have technology issues, when I need a laugh or a pick-me-up, or when I just want someone to binge AHS with me.

2. My Education

As hard as it can be, I am so incredibly thankful that I am furthering my education to become a teacher. The hours of making lesson plans, rubrics, worksheets, and all the hours spent in classrooms will be completely worth it once I have my degree and teaching license and can say I have a classroom of my own.

3. My Close Friends

Lately, I have felt very stressed and overwhelmed due to a number of things. Whether it be work, homework, my massive amounts of credits I decided to take, or anything else that has caused me to freak out on any given day of the week, you guys have been there to talk me through it all. You have been there with open arms, open ears, open doors and chocolate. You have been able to talk me down when I've felt stressed beyond words and you have been able to make me laugh when all I wanted to do was hide and cry. I appreciate you all so so much and I am so thankful for you all!

4. My Boyfriend

Like I already said, I have been a complete mess lately, and even when I can't tell left from down, you still find ways to help me see things clearly. You come surprise me and constantly make sure that I am taking care of myself because you know that is the last thing on my mind. You do everything you can to make me laugh and I appreciate it tremendously.

5. My Kindergartners

This semester I have been fortunate enough to be placed in a private Catholic school in Cleveland. My students are the sweetest boys and girls and they have the biggest hearts. Each day I walk into my classroom I am greeted by 27 smiles and waves and it makes my mornings so much better. Each day that I leave I hear "Bye Miss Kaylee" from 27 voices at once. They always ask me if I am coming back and get excited when I tell them yes. This week we were talking about Jesus and making crowns like the one he wore and one of my students came up me with a large smile on his face and said: "We are all God's little helpers." It completely melted my heart when I heard him say that. I just need a little more kindergarten in my days to make life seem better.

Those are the few things I am thankful for this year. What are you thankful for?

25 Beatles Lyrics: Your Go-To Guide for Every Situation

The Best Lines from the Fab Four

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

Dealing with the inevitable realities of college life.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.

The Best Lines from the Fab Four

And in the end, the love you take is equal to the love you make

The sun is up, the sky is blue, it's beautiful and so are you

Love is old, love is new, love is all, love is you

There's nowhere you can be that isn't where you're meant to be

Life is very short, and there's no time for fussing and fighting, my friend

He say, "I know you, you know me", One thing I can tell you is you got to be free

Oh please, say to me, You'll let me be your man. And please say to me, You'll let me hold your hand

It was twenty years ago today, Sgt. Pepper taught the band to play. They've been going in and out of style, but they're guaranteed to raise a smile

Living is easy with eyes closed, misunderstanding all you see

Can you hear me? When it rains and shine, it's just a state of mind

Little darling, it's been long cold lonely winter. Little darling, it feels like years since it' s been here. Here comes the sun, Here comes the sun, and I say it's alright

We danced through the night and we held each other tight, and before too long I fell in love with her. Now, I'll never dance with another when I saw her standing there

I love you, I love you, I love you, that's all I want to say

You say you want a revolution. Well you know, we all want to change the world

All the lonely people, where do they all come from. All the lonely people, where do they all belong

Oh, I get by with a little help from my friends

Hey Jude, don't make it bad. Take a sad song and make it better

Yesterday, all my troubles seemed so far away. Now it looks as though they're here to stay. Oh, I believe in yesterday

And when the brokenhearted people, living in the world agree, there will be an answer, let it be.

And anytime you feel the pain, Hey Jude, refrain. Don't carry the world upon your shoulders

I'll give you all I got to give if you say you'll love me too. I may not have a lot to give but what I got I'll give to you. I don't care too much for money. Money can't buy me love

All you need is love, love is all you need

Whisper words of wisdom, let it be

Blackbird singing in the dead of night, Take these broken wings and learn to fly. All your life, You were only waiting for this moment to arise

Though I know I'll never lose affection, for people and things that went before. I know I'll often stop and think about them. In my life, I love you more

Obviously the best superpower.
