6 Things to be Thankful for

With Thanksgiving around the corner, taking time to reflect on what you're really thankful for is vital. It's almost the end of the year, and with that comes a lot of things to be thankful for. A year, 365 days in total, is a long time and you're bound to be thankful for something.


1. Family


Personally, family should always be something to be thankful for because they will always be there no matter what. Even if there's tension there, now is the time to reflect and see all that your family has done. Family is a bond no one can break.


2. Education

I know this may not seem like a thing you should be thankful for, but it should be. An education is something that should be treasured because some education is scarce in some places.


3. Obstacles


Hear me out, the daily struggles you're going through is something that should be something big. They're the one thing that made your year unique from all the others.


4. Roof

Having a roof over your head is a blessing. It really is.


5. Food

Just like having a roof over your head, food is important. Even if the food is not the best, having something to put in your stomach is huge because hunger around the world is real.


6. Clothes


Clothes are expensive and, even if they're not brand name, they should truly be appreciated. As long as you have clothes on your back, trust me you're good.


Honestly, it's all about the little things. Being thankful comes with a lot of reflecting. Now is the time to reflect, but don't forget about the things that are always taken for granted.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

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.

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.
