It's almost Thanksgiving Break, and I'm feeling reflective. After spending a semester abroad, I see all the aspects of Nova that I didn't appreciate so much my first semester here. This is really my home away from home, and a lot of people and things have made that happen.

Keep reading to see all my favorite parts of campus that I'm grateful for.

*Note: this isn't all of it! It's just all that I'm thinking of at the moment.

1. "South-West" campus

This ones for my not one, not two, but THREE roommates in our lounge room out here in Delurey. We've made it our own little home. :)

2. The new bridge

This makes walking to the Spit for Friday night dinner or the KOP shuttle so much easier. Not to mention, I'm grateful for the awesome view of the church on the way back.

3. Easy going teachers

Thank you for not being angry at me for coming in late to my 8:30. Thank you for being funny, and thank you for not making my college life hard.

4. VSB Perks

Thank you Clay Center. Thank you Bartley Holy Grounds. Thank you Exchange staff. Thank you print center. Thank you business professors. We business kids really have the best support, and I appreciate it beyond words.

5. Hilarious Nova Insta accounts

This one's for you @justbartleythings and @soldmysoultothepit. These are hilarious, and if you don't follow them already, you definitely should.

6. Canceled classes from snow

This just happened, but thank you for not making me walk through the blizzard to my Diff Eq class all the way in Mendel on Thursday night.

7. Camp Co

How could anyone live without Camp Co?! Grateful for the classic 2am Friday nights here.

8. Holy Grounds

Thank you for the yum oatmeal. Thank you for making my dirty iced chai just the way I like.

9. Cova

Grateful for the burrito bowls and awesome pizza and the staff that gets it done after those 12:20 classes Monday, Wednesday, Friday.

10. Special Olympics

Nothing like a great fall weekend of volunteering to make my heart full.

11. Conn Grilled Cheese

Thank you for the soup and grilled cheese because they're unbelievably good.

12. Basketball 

Finally, how could I put this list together without Nova basketball?! Grateful for the amazing energy and pride that bball season brings to campus and so much more.

The Perks of Being a Girl

“I just want you to know that you’re very special… and the only reason I’m telling you is that I don’t know if anyone else ever has.”

As frustrating and annoying as it can be, being a girl is really awesome. We are beautiful inside and out. Not a lot of people may see that, but girls have a ton of amazing qualities.

We have unique flirting skills.

Us girls have a significant way to flirt with other people. Even when we say the most random or awkward things, we have a way of making everything sound cute and planned. It’s just a gift; we’re good like that.

We Heart It

Over the past decade, television has undergone a very crucial transition: the incorporation of female lead characters. Since it's a known fact that girls actually do run the world (Beyonce said so herself), it's time for the leading ladies of the small screen to get some credit. Without these characters, women would still be sitting in the background of our favorite shows. These women are not only trailblazers for female empowerment, but role models for women worldwide. With that, here are 15 of the smartest, sassiest ladies gracing our screens that remind us that women do, indeed, rule:

If you are like me, you have an interesting personality. Basically, you love to be sassy and snarky, gossip, and act like a total bitch (not really), but deep down, you are actually a very genuinely nice person. The idea of actually hurting someone truly makes you feel bad, and you probably have never actually hurt someone’s feelings because your kindness always shines through, even if you do not want it to. Not sure exactly what I would call this type of personality, but if you identify with it, here are some feelings you can undoubtedly relate to.
