11 People You Should Be Thankful For

Thanksgiving is coming soon and while you're thinking of that delicious pumpkin pie your dad is going to bake, its also time to think of all those wonderful people in your life that you can't live without! So get out your guest list and make sure these 11 people are on it:

1. Your parents.

Because no matter how old you are, they can still solve any problem.

2. The best friend you can call whenever.

Even after months apart you can pick up right where you left off.

3. Your support system.

Be it at work, home, or all over the country, they've helped you through life's toughest moments.

4. The people in your life who have been stand-in mothers and fathers whenever you've needed them to be.

No matter if its that headstrong older co worker after your boss yells at you, or if its the teacher that gave you advice after a heartbreak.

5. Sisters who you can roll with during any dilemma.

By, personal or professional, and you always get answers that keep you grounded and grant perspective.

6. Your mother-in-law.


For better or for worse, she's raised the person you love, so be thankful.

7. Your grand parents.

They loved you like a parent but never grounded you. they're perfect

8. Your next door neighbor

Because who else will be there when you've forgot that essential ingredient to your perfect homemade cake.

9. Your significant other.

No matter what, they love you for better or for worse and in sickness and in health.

10. Your pet.

What other adorable thing are you supposed to cuddle while you're binge watching the latest season of House of Cards?

11. Your Aunts/Uncles

Because they know what its like to grow up with your parents and they've got your back when you need to blow off some steam after your mom yells at you for forgetting to pick up your clothes.

No matter how crazy any of these people drive you, they are the ones who will be there for you and love you no matter what. Even if you did post that unflattering picture of them that you look good in on Facebook!

5 Things To Do That Are Better Than Writing A Paper

Don't waste your time trying to write that paper when there are so many more interesting things you could be doing.

Writing a paper is never fun and is rarely rewarding. The writer's block, the page requirement, be specific, but don’t summarize, make sure you fixed any grammatical errors, did you even use spellcheck? and analyze, analyze, analyze.

Papers can be a major pain. They take up so much time and effort that by the end of the process you hate yourself and you hate the professor for making life so difficult. Questions of your existence start roaming in your mind. Am I even cut out for college if I can’t write a single paper? Am I even capable of taking care of myself if I lack the energy to open my laptop and start typing?

I can barely remember back when I was the only child. Most would say it’s because it is extremely difficult to remember things as a toddler but I would say it's because I was bored until my sister came along. My mother always says how important the "sister bond" is and with every year that passes I realize how right she is. Instead of writing a novel about all of the wonderful things there are about having a sister I decided to list a few of them instead.

It is the time of our lives that we are beginning to enter the adult world and most of us, if not all of us, have no idea what we are doing. It's like starting a video game, but skipping the tutorial. We're all just running around aimlessly hoping we accidentally do something right that moves us along the right path. Now that graduation has just happened, or is right around the corner for some of us, it's time to start thinking about how we are going to take care of ourselves once we are on our own.

If you’re anything like me, you love a good cup of coffee. My coffee always comes from Starbucks; I refuse to drink it from anywhere else. Over the years, it’s become one of my biggest addictions.

It can be overwhelming at times and it’s important to take a step a back and calmly think things over. Maybe gain some perspective.
