Being thankful is something that should be year round, but Thanksgiving is right around the corner. These are the top thirty things I am thankful for this year
1. God, because without him I would have nothing to be thankful for.
2.My parents, because—though this is cliche—without them I would not be where I am
3. My small circle of close friends, who keep me sane.
4. My college the place I call home where I have found myself never being more happy with life.
5. My professors who give me the confidence to pursue my goals, and never settle
6. My roommate...my best friend...my therapist...my sack of potatoes. I would not want to live with anyone but her, because life is better when you're laughing with your best friend.
7. A home cooked meal, because college has taught me that it's the simple things that matter most. That and because it tastes way better than college food.
8. Music, because through the college crazies it is something that gives me pure joy.
9. My doggies at home, because I loved going home after months away to be greeted by their cuddles.
10. My little fishy because he makes me feel like an adult.
11. Books because they sometimes make reality less painful. Mostly Harry Potter though.
12. My boyfriend who in a short time span has impacted me deeply.
13. Having a small home town to always share my roots with.
14. Naps because they make college life more functional
15. Knowing that even though I'm going to be paying college off for awhile, It will be worth it because I will be pursuing my dream job.
16. Netflix because I enjoy binge watching tv shows, especially Grey's Anatomy.
17. The internet which provides me with a way to stay in touch with my friends that are far away.
18. Those far away friends that are only a phone call away.
19. Thankful that college hasn't made me completely bonkers yet.
20. My small blonde moments that have been the source of much laughter
21. Swimming, even though I have not done competitive swimming for close to two years, I'm glad I still can hop in a pool and love it just as much as I did on day one.
22. Flowers, because smelling good things just make me happy.
23. Having a bed that's comfortable; it took three mattresses to finally find one I could sleep on.
24. Cupcakes and cake and pie, because they taste good and satisfy my sweet tooth.
25. Christmas movies, music, and decorations because they make my soul happy with the reminder that the semester is almost over.
26. Coffee because without it some mornings I would not be able to function properly.
27. Disney movies because they help me feel like a kid again.
28. Honey Cheerios because they are my comfort food.
29. Thankful that I'm no longer in high school; it was over rated
30. That I haven't gone MIA because college doesn't let me have a life
Yes, some of these are cliche, cheesy, and downright ridiculous. The thing is though, I'm a college student and sometimes it is just the small things that matter most to me.
