Here is a long list of what I'm thankful for this year!

1. People who cut lines during holiday shopping, so I can learn patience.

2. People who go Black Friday Shopping at 5 A.M., so that I can shop from the comfort of my bed.

3. People who get in heated arguments that hold up the line, so that I can have some sort of entertainment while shopping for presents.

4. My family's mechanic, who fixed the heat in my car because I'd be a whiny baby without it.

5. Hand warmers because they are a lifesaver when you don't have working heat in your car.

6. My pretty okay mental health. 

I think my dad is more thankful for this so that he doesn't hear me have panic attacks at 3 A.M. anymore.

7. Food so that I can eat with or without being disturbed.

8. How long my hair actually grew within two and a half to three years.

9. My bed. 

Once I am in, there is no possible way I am getting out of my bed for ANYTHING.

10. That I'm finally done this stupid list.


Enough of the sweet stuff, I'm going to bring up a very heated debate. WHY DO PEOPLE SKIP THANKSGIVING? CHRISTMAS CAN SIT THEIR BUTTS DOWN AND LET THANKSGIVING SHINE.

What is so bad about Thanksgiving? Lots and lots of food, laughter, chit chat, spending quality time together, and passed out when I eat too much. Stores need to stop putting up Christmas decorations in the middle of the Halloween season.

Don't get me wrong, I love opening gifts. I feel really bad about missing family members during Christmas. My medication also gets pretty wonky during the winter months because the cold makes me feel more depressed.

In conclusion, I'm a very stressed out human being who has too much stuff on her chest and that I'm ready to just leave if people are debating about Thanksgiving. EAT YOUR TURKEY AND SHUT IT.

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.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

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.
