1) I'm thankful for my family

I have strong ties with my family and I am so glad that they're always here for me. They support me in my decisions and do their best to be there for me throughout my life. I'm thankful for the love and support of my family and I'm grateful that I can spend Thanksgiving with them.

2) I'm thankful for my friends.

Going to college away from home is hard. But I'm so grateful for my friends for making this transition easier. They were here for me when I have my rough times in college. It's amazing to have such good friends who care about me and only and want the best for me. Not only that, they're of course so much fun to be around and I enjoy every moment with them.

3) I'm thankful for my education.

I'm grateful that I am able to get a college education. I know there are people who cannot have one due to unfortunate circumstances. It only makes see that my college education is a privilege I have to appreciate and I shouldn't take it for granted.

4) I'm thankful for having more independence.

Though I love my family a lot, I'm also grateful that I get my own independence especially in college. I feel like I understand the real world a bit better. It's something that I feel will make me understand responsibility and how my choices will have consequences.

Is it spending every waking hour with someone, and knowing every detail about their life? Is it the relationship that's filled with fighting, but filled with even more resolution? I've learned that it's all of these things, and every friendship is different. It's a beautifully dysfunctional mess that should always be cherished and never be taken for granted.
