In addition to sleeping in until noon and eating free food, Thanksgiving break is a time for college students to really sit down and reflect on what we're thankful for. Depending on the student, there are a number of different things to be thankful for - having the opportunity to attend college being a huge one. Even though we could get all mushy and discuss how thankful we are for our friends, family and other loved ones, we must also remember the real MVPs and the little things that get us through our daily lives away at college.
1. Grade Curves
The best kind of curves are grade curves.
2. Student Discounts
"Sorry you're broke, here's 50% off on a Spotify Premium plan."
3. Cheap Used Books
Bonus points if they have stellar highlights and annotated notes.
4. Pizza Delivery
Better yet, I'm thankful for the people that invented pizza.
5. Last-Minute Class Cancellations
An email is nice, but I wouldn't be mad if I showed up to an empty classroom either.
6. Extra Credit
It's basically insurance for your grade.
7. Sparknotes
Work smarter, not harder.
Can we forget about the fact that I have to pay you back?
9. Netflix
Sorry, I had to include Netflix. Don't tell me you don't love Netflix.
10. Dogs On Campus
Going more than a week without petting a dog is unhealthy.
11. Dry Shampoo
If you possess the time and the effort to wash your hair everyday, I don't believe you.
12. Quizlet
Chances are, someone already made flashcards for the quiz you're cramming for.
13. Detergent Pods
Because regular soap and detergent is difficult.
14. Instant Coffee Makers
So easy a college student can do it.
15. Free Things
Campus movies, food, stress, sleep deprivation... free with purchase of tuition!
College students, what little things are you thankful for this Thanksgiving?
