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 dynamics of any friend group are usually determined by the personalities which make it up.

Here is what your friend group might look like if they were Disney princesses (and that wasn't just a thing you all pretended in your heads):
