10 Things I Am Grateful For This Thanksgiving

Here it is once again, the time of the year when we gather with family and say what we're thankful for. It's the time to eat delicious and appetizing foods together and spend quality time with family or with friends because who doesn't like Friendsgiving? Everyone has something that they are grateful for and I just figured why not let you guys see what I've been thankful for this year. And as always, may you all have a wonderful Thanksgiving week.

1. Thankful for an extremely supportive family

They are the real MVP's for taking my late-night calls, not rearranging my room into a new office and sending me money when I'm almost broke. On a more serious note, my family means the world to me and I am so ever thankful for them.

2. Thankful to have a place to live in and enough money to afford meals

Looking at you dining dollars and Commons swipes I don't know what I would do without you.

3. Thankful to have a car that is functioning

In just one week two of my friends have had car problems. I'm thankful my baby is still running smoothly at 7 years old.

4. Thankful for the incredible friends I've met this past semester

This semester was the one to strengthen friendships and create new ones. I'm thankful to have great friends to surround myself with.

5. Thankful that even in loss, my family never waned and become stronger because of it

We had a few losses this year and one was the death of our precious Golden Precious. It was unexpected and very sudden but I'm thankful for the many years we had together.

6. Thankful that I get a whole week off for Thanksgiving

Yesss to no worrying about assignments until after Thanksgiving. I guess working on them the weekend before really helped. Also, the countdown begins to feasting time!

7. Thankful for THE best Thanksgiving meal

In just a few short days I will be feasting for a whole 24+ hours and not have a care in the world. All the sweet potato pie I can eat will be there for me. My mom knows how to cook and I can't wait.

8. Thankful that it finally feels like Fall

Fall brings on the cozy oversized sweaters, fluffy & thick socks, and blankets to snuggle with during the cool nights.

9. Thankful for our Golden Retriever puppy Nikolaj

Our family got this beautiful, curious, loveable boy a few months ago and I am in love. He brings such joy to our lives and I can't imagine life without him.

10. And lastly, I'm thankful to just be alive

With all the horrible things going on in the world today, I'm just grateful I can wake up and see another day.

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

The Best Lines from the Fab Four

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.

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.

11. How to be great at giving directions.

12. How to be humble.
