15 Things I Am Thankful For

Because of the beloved holiday of Thanksgiving and my love of internet list-making, I decided to make a list of 15 things I am very thankful for this year (and everyday).

1. My family

I'm thankful for my family every single day. They are my strongest support system and my best friends, and I wouldn't be anywhere without them. Shout out to the Scott-Tacconelli family, I love you!

2. My school

So many people take their education for granted when there are so many people in the world, let alone our country, who don't have access to good education. I'm so blessed to go to one of the best schools in the country and call Michigan State my home, even though we suck at football currently. Go green!

3. My dog

I am easily a crazy dog lady. I love my little fur baby more than anything. She also looks a lot like a McDonald's chicken nugget so that might be a reason why I'm so obsessed with her.

4. My health

I'm so thankful to be healthy, even on days where it's not perfect.

5. My sorority

Delta Gamma has given me so many new friends and sisters. I'm so thankful to be apart of such an amazing organization.

6. My bed

Thank you, bed, for keeping me warm and cozy. Thanks for making me lazy when I shouldn't be. :/

7. Netflix

Thanks to Gossip Girl and New Girl for keeping me entertained. Love you Blake Lively and Zooey Deschanel.

8. My friends

My friends keep me sane and make me laugh like no other. You all are so important to me, every single one of you!

9. Tea

Tea is the cure for everything.

10. Quesadillas

Nothing better than a warm tortilla filled with gooey cheese.

11. My phone and laptop

Many people don't have these, so I'm very thankful to have them. They allow me to communicate with my friends and family and get my homework done.

12. Ice cream

Who doesn't like ice cream???

13. Fuzzy socks

Thank you for keeping my feet warm. <3

14. Puppies

If you're having a bad day, Google pictures of puppies. They'll never fail to put a smile on your face.

15. My life

I'm so thankful to be happy and healthy. So many people don't think twice about this and don't realize that your life can be taken from you in the blink of an eye.

These are just a few things I'm thankful for, but I'm so thankful and blessed for every aspect of my life, today and everyday.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

Why Your Astrological Sign May Not Match Your Personality

We are all more than just one sign.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
