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.

8. Student Loans

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?

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.
