36 People I'm most thankful for

As it is thanksgiving I just wanted to reflect on where I am in life right now and take a few minutes to thank all the beautiful people that are surrounding me and that have been influential in my life. I wouldn't be who I am today without all of them and this is just a small thanks. I really tried to include most everyone, sorry this is going to be lengthy. But with 20 years under my belt I'm met a lot of people I'm thankful for who are or at least once were in my life.

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?

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.
