50 Things To Be Thankful For

“Every day may not be good... but there's something good in every day”

In the spirit of Thanksgiving and the holiday season in general I thought I would compile a list of some things to be grateful for, whether it be big or small. I love the holiday season because this is the time where I realize how lucky I truly am to have such a loving family and caring friends. Sometimes it's hard to take a step back and look at your life and realize how blessed you really are. It's important to remember that God doesn't give us anything we cannot handle. The struggles that we face throughout life are learning experiences. We grow from these situations and it makes us stronger, and that alone is something to be thankful for. I am surrounded by love constantly, and that is something I will forever be thankful for. I think it's important to keep this saying in mind when life gets tough, “every day may not be good; but there's something good in every day." So here is my list of 50 things to be thankful for during the holidays and every other day...

1. Your parents' unconditional love

2. Leaving for an event super late but somehow arriving on time

3. Warm baths after a long day of work or school

4. When someone super cool retweets you on Twitter or likes your picture on Instagram

5. Finishing a paper or project after working on it for weeks

6. Spending time with family members you haven't seen for a long time

7. Three day weekends

8. Your favorite Chipotle order

9. The first snowfall of winter (even though that means it's getting a little chilly)

10. Your favorite song coming on the radio

11. Watching your favorite show on Netflix while avoiding all your responsibilities

12. The 'Clean Linen' air freshener from Yankee Candle

13. Seeing your good friends after being away at college for months

14. Big sweaters

15. Large milkshakes from your favorite ice cream shop

16. Finally getting a good night's sleep after a stressful week

17. Finding money in your coat pocket

18. Eating a home-cooked meal

19. Hugging your grandparents

20. Candid pictures

21. Finally making a craft that you pinned on your Pinterest board

25. Childhood pictures

26. Home videos

27. Getting popcorn at the movies

28. Newborn babies

29. That feeling after a successful workout

30. Peanut butter and bananas on bread

31. Good smelling shampoo and conditioner

32. Someone telling you that you're a good friend

33. Thanksgiving food (turkey, mashed potatoes, stuffing, sweet potatoes, green bean casserole, and the list goes on and on)

34. Trying a new recipe and it turning out better than you thought

35. Snuggling up with your cat or dog after a hard day of adult-ing

36. Studying extra hard for an exam and getting a good grade

25 Beatles Lyrics: Your Go-To Guide for Every Situation

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

Waitlisted for a College Class? Here's What to Do!

Dealing with the inevitable realities of college life.

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.

The Best Lines from the Fab Four

And in the end, the love you take is equal to the love you make

The sun is up, the sky is blue, it's beautiful and so are you

Love is old, love is new, love is all, love is you

There's nowhere you can be that isn't where you're meant to be

Life is very short, and there's no time for fussing and fighting, my friend

He say, "I know you, you know me", One thing I can tell you is you got to be free

Oh please, say to me, You'll let me be your man. And please say to me, You'll let me hold your hand

It was twenty years ago today, Sgt. Pepper taught the band to play. They've been going in and out of style, but they're guaranteed to raise a smile

Living is easy with eyes closed, misunderstanding all you see

Can you hear me? When it rains and shine, it's just a state of mind

Little darling, it's been long cold lonely winter. Little darling, it feels like years since it' s been here. Here comes the sun, Here comes the sun, and I say it's alright

We danced through the night and we held each other tight, and before too long I fell in love with her. Now, I'll never dance with another when I saw her standing there

I love you, I love you, I love you, that's all I want to say

You say you want a revolution. Well you know, we all want to change the world

All the lonely people, where do they all come from. All the lonely people, where do they all belong

Oh, I get by with a little help from my friends

Hey Jude, don't make it bad. Take a sad song and make it better

Yesterday, all my troubles seemed so far away. Now it looks as though they're here to stay. Oh, I believe in yesterday

And when the brokenhearted people, living in the world agree, there will be an answer, let it be.

And anytime you feel the pain, Hey Jude, refrain. Don't carry the world upon your shoulders

I'll give you all I got to give if you say you'll love me too. I may not have a lot to give but what I got I'll give to you. I don't care too much for money. Money can't buy me love

All you need is love, love is all you need

Whisper words of wisdom, let it be

Blackbird singing in the dead of night, Take these broken wings and learn to fly. All your life, You were only waiting for this moment to arise

Though I know I'll never lose affection, for people and things that went before. I know I'll often stop and think about them. In my life, I love you more

Obviously the best superpower.

There have been many lessons learned.

1. The importance of traditions.

2. How to be thankful for family and friends.

3. How to give back.

4. What the word "community" really means.

5. That it isn't about the destination, but the journey.

6. The consequences of making bad choices.

7. To trust people, until you have a reason not to.

8. To be welcoming and accepting of everyone.

9. How to be my own, individual person.

10. How to work for what I want.

11. How to be great at giving directions.

12. How to be humble.

13. To be well-rounded.

16. To be prepared for anything.

17. That you don't always have to do it alone.

18. How to be creative.

19. To brush off gossip.

I have never been so thankful to know you.
