6 Things That I Am Thankful For

In amidst of all the chaos that comes with the holiday season, I wanted to stop and reflect on what I am thankful for this season.

Nov 27, 2019

Thanksgiving is honestly one of the best, if not the best holiday there is. All you do is eat and be with the people you love the most. Also, you reflect on what you are thankful for. As great as Thanksgiving is, it almost always gets lost during this season. With most students having a million assignments and exams around this time and then the planning for Christmas already starting, Thanksgiving can get lost in the dust. It becomes something we do not think about until the day of where we eat food and then go Black Friday shopping. We almost always forget about why Thanksgiving is special and the purpose of Thanksgiving.

Today I wanted to reflect on the things I am thankful for not just during Thanksgiving but every day.

My parents

My parents are the first thing that came to my mind when I started writing this article. I am beyond thankful for my parents. They have done such a good job raising me and my brothers. They are the most compassionate, funny, and giving people I know. I do not know what I would do without them. I love being around them and they have given me such a great example on Christ's love, how to one day have a great marriage, and be a great parent. They truly are as one of my friends has told me, "perfect and relationship goals".

My Brothers

I am very thankful for my brothers. They may have been a thorn in my side growing up but they truly are great people and I love having them in my life. They are fun to be around and some of the most funny people I know. Siblings are a blessing. You always have someone to do life with and lean back on when you need them. I enjoy the inside jokes, the card games we play, and the love and support I have with my brothers.

My Sisters-in-law

My sisters-in-law are a blessing. I always wanted a sister and once my brothers got married, I finally had not one but two sisters! I finally had girls to bond with! They have been there to do my hair for all my school dances and they are just always fun to talk to. I am thankful to have them in my life. There are so many great things about them that I am thankful for.

My Nephew

My nephew is the most perfect human being to ever exist. I love him so much he is just an energetic fun bundle of joy. I love having him in my life and cannot imagine a time before he was in it. He brings joy to everyone around him. I love being an aunt it is one of the most delightful things I have ever experienced. I am so thankful for this child and being able to see him grow up/develop his own personality.

My friends

I could not survive without my friends. I have always been appreciative of my friends but since starting/being in college I am so much more thankful for my friends. Being away from home and not always having my family around when life is too overbearing can be difficult, but having some amazing friends to talk to when life gets rough helps a lot. My friends have been there for me time and time again through every mental breakdown and I cannot thank them enough. I love having lunch with them every day, talking to them any time that I need, jamming in the car, going on late-night food runs, and just having an amazing support group to lift me up. I wish I could write about every one of them that I am thankful for and put a picture up with every one of them as well.

My sorority sisters

I love being a part of my sorority. Joining Sigma Phi Lambda was one of the best choices I could have made when I came to college. Having a group of loving Christ-like sisters to do college with has been such a blessing. They are such a sweet, encouraging, and loving group of girls. I am constantly encouraged by them every week. It helped me feel like I had somewhere I belonged in college. It also helped me make friends so much faster. I am so thankful for this sorority.

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.
