November is notoriously known for being the time of the year when many Americans reflect on what they're most thankful for. Now more than ever, it seems as though our society needs a little bit of a reminder that there is always something to be thankful for. Even when you feel absolutely helpless, it is important to remember to stay positive. It is very easy to forget that there are little freedoms and blessings that we get to enjoy that many do not. We should not underestimate, under appreciated, diminish, or forget the things we should be thankful for every single day. The smallest and most simplest of moments can equate to the memories that we will cherish forever, so be grateful. Here is a list of a few things to be thankful for:

1. A new day

2. Family

3. Freedom

4. Sunrises

5. Love

6. Your health

7. The military protecting you

8. Smiling

9. Food

10. Friends

11. People holding the door for you

12. Sports

13. Laughing

14. Learning

15. Nature

16. Dogs

17. Traveling

18. Music

19. Diversity

20. Second chances

21. Sunsets

22. Meeting new people

23. Movies

24. Volunteering

25. Faith

26. Opportunities

27. Babies

28. School

29. Starry skies

30. Life

You have a lot to be thankful for.

Toilet Troubles

"So, usually I would never go on a Tinder date but when you are out with girlfriends and a hot Bosnian guy says he wants to hang with you and his friends, you oblige. We head to their apartment and when I realized I may pee my pants if I don't find a bathroom soon. I ask for the bathroom and a friend of my tinder date shows me to it and said in all seriousness that I was not allowed to flush the toilet under ANY circumstances. Having a few drinks--or five--I relieved myself to, nevertheless, flush the toilet. Within seconds, his bathroom was flooded and towels were laid out everywhere to catch the toilet water. To say the least, we were not invited back"

Don't deny it.

They talk to you like you're one of the guys, but you will NEVER EVER be included in "Bro" things

Even though you've heard the words, "Not you, a real girl" more times than you can count.

You need to caption almost every picture with a disclaimer that you aren't dating...

But at the same time, you never know whether or not to be offended when they say they'd never date you...

And your other friends are constantly telling you you were destined to be with each other.

You'd get all the girls if you were a boy because you walk them through how to get girls almost daily...

That being said, you have an opinion on EVERY girl they show you, and you aren't afraid to share it...

But they have opinions too, and that's why they'll be the first to tell you when a guy isn't treating you right... and then they'll do exactly the same thing to some girl a few days later...

And if they do happen to have a girl in their lives, she most likely hates you, because you know him better than she ever will...

But even after all that, you wouldn't trade them for the world.

No, I actually don't pay for my friends.

1. "You pay for your friends."

2. "All you do is party."

3. "You guys all look the same."

4. "You don't actually care about your Philanthropy."

5. "Bigs and littles are stupid/annoying."

6. "I would never want to be a part of that."

7. "You're wasting your money."

We get it — we're frustrated with you, too.

1. When they go out of their way to help you.

2. When they are cleaning up a section of the store.

3. When they deal with your children being heathens.

4. When they listen intently to your coupon problems.

5. When they ask you about opening a credit card or rewards card.
