As a college student, it can become really easy to become a pessimist. While sometimes it seems like nothing goes right, there are days where I have so much to be thankful for. Last semester I started this habit where I would post on my Instagram story about all of the things I was thankful for that day. While sometimes it was hard to come up with things, most of the time it was so easy to remember all of the good things in my life. Doing this really made me realize how grateful I was for the people, experiences, and memories of my first year of college. Realizing all the happy things in my life has made me realize that while life isn't so pretty sometimes, it's really great most of the time.

It's officially December. There is less than a month of 2024, and I still feel like yesterday was summer. Now comes the merriest time of the year, the Christmas season.

Everyone has been waiting for this time of year since mid-October (which is way too early, in my opinion) or before. It's a time of love, family, memory-making, and gift-giving. A lot of times when I ask friends and family what they want, I get a lot of "I don't know" or "I don't care."

I was sitting at my cubicle, now that I am an adult, looking at the rain pouring down on the windowsill, bumming on life, wishing for the rain to just stop for a full day.

There are moments where we count down the hours until work is over and how many more days till the weekend, and this many weeks until something exciting. Or something like that? Well, I was bumming because my next day off from work is not until Memorial Day weekend, which is not until the end of May. And since this is my first year out of college being a “real person,” I am totally missing the winter, spring and summer breaks. I am sure all of us have felt this way even if just for a hot minute…
