Let's Not Forget To Be Thankful All Year Round

Let's Not Forget To Be Thankful All Year Round

With Thanksgiving coming up, this is the time of the year when we are feeling grateful and thankful for everything in our life. But what about all the other days? Isn't important to be grateful and thankful all year round, and not just one day?

Now, don't get me wrong, Thanksgiving is an amazing holiday. I absolutely love Thanksgiving. But there are so many reasons for us to be grateful every single minute of the day. We live in one of the freest countries into the entire world, but we also forget that a lot. I know that I am guilty of this on a daily basis.

We live in a country where we have so many rights that we take for granted. We are allowed to have differing opinions than our government, we have the right to speak what we believe, we have the right to a free education no matter your ethnicity or gender. That is only to name a few. But there are also just little things in our daily life that we should be grateful for.

One of my goals that I set for myself for this year, is to be more grateful and thankful on a daily basis. I have learned to be grateful every day for the little things: waking up in the morning, my car engine turning on, not being called on in my law classes, and that I am lucky enough to have a great job that allows me to have some money in my bank account. It is honestly the little things that truly give us gratitude.

So as we are going into the holiday season, let's be grateful and thankful for everything in our lives, even the little things. And I also want to challenge you to keep that up even past this holiday season.

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.
