What Are YOU Thankful for?
Quote Addicts

The week of Thanksgiving is filled with lots of food, family, and, of course, awkward encounters with that one family member you only see twice a year at holiday gatherings. While this week is a whirlwind of excitement, its so important to sit down and take a moment to appreciate all the wonderful blessings you have been given. Therefore, in the spirit of Thanksgiving, I've compiled a list of 31 things I am thankful for, each representative of one of 31 days in November.


31 things (but definitely not all) I'm thankful for are:

1. My family

2. Beautiful sunsets

3. My bed

4. The numerous ways we can eat potatoes

5. IU basketball

6. Coffee, of course

7. Cold medicine

8. Yummy smelling candles

9. Colorful pens

10. Leggings

11. Glasses

12. The ocean

13. Naps

14. Fuzzy blankets

15. Comfy couches

16. Late night food runs with friends

17. "Back in my day" stories from my grandparents

18. Inside jokes

19. Books

20. My siblings

21. Dogs

22. People who hold the door open for me

23. People who say "thank you" when I hold the door open for them

24. People who smile as you pass them on the sidewalk

25. People who smile back when you shoot a smile as you pass by

26. Christmas movies

27. Decorating the house for Christmas

28. Pretty Christmas lights

29. Yummy soup

30. Cuddles

31. Campfires

Okay, you get it. The list can go on and on. There are so many things in our lives, big and small, that we take for granted. Take a minute to think.. what are YOU thankful for?

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."

mu bucket list

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…
