Thanksgiving is a time to reflect on what you are thankful for. It's a time when family gathers around a table for hours on end discussing what's on their minds while eating endless amounts of turkey and mashed potatoes. But most importantly, its a time to celebrate the good things in life and try to do more good for the community around you. This Thanksgiving, I am thankful for:

My parents, who bust their behinds to provide everything they can for me. Their support and love is endless and I would be nowhere in life if it wasn't for their guidance.

My pets, who provide comfort to me when I'm sad or hurting, and who also give me tons of cuddles and kisses when I need them.

My extended family, who give me the perfect balance of sanity and craziness in one.

My angels in the sky, who watch over me and keep me safe along all the paths I cross in my lifetime.

My boyfriend, who loves me unconditionally, who knows how to turn all my frowns upside down and who gives me all the support and love he can give.

My boyfriend's family, who are like a second home to me. With open arms they are always there to listen to and love me like their own.

My job, that allows me to see the benefit of good work ethic and helps me support myself living on my own.

My roommates, who have quickly turned into sisters.

My education, which provides a future for me.

Lastly, my faith, which shows me a light in all the dark tunnels I travel down. It keeps me grounded and helps me be a better version of myself.


This Thanksgiving, make sure you give thanks for all the good in your life and strive to make next year an even better year.

Happy Thanksgiving!

They find that shirt that’s right in front of you, but just you can’t seem to find.

Thank You on wooden blocks

1. Thank you for being the one I can always count on to be honest.

A true friend will tell you if the shirt is ugly, or at least ask to borrow it and "accidentally" burn it.

2. Thank you for accepting me for who I am.

A best friend will love you regardless of the stale french fries you left on the floor of your car, or when you had lice in 8th grade and no one wanted to talk to you.

Do as I say, not as I do.

Your eyes widen in horror as you stare at your phone. Beads of sweat begin to saturate your palm as your fingers tremble in fear. The illuminated screen reads, "Missed Call: Mom."

Growing up with strict parents, you learn that a few things go unsaid. Manners are everything. Never talk back. Do as you're told without question. Most importantly, you develop a system and catch on to these quirks that strict parents have so that you can play their game and do what you want.

"Friends" maybe didn’t have everything right or realistic all the time, but they did have enough episodes to create countless reaction GIFs and enough awesomeness to create, well, the legacy they did. Something else that is timeless, a little rough, but memorable? Living away from the comforts of home. Whether you have an apartment, a dorm, your first house, or some sort of residence that is not the house you grew up in, I’m sure you can relate to most of these!
