Thank You Notes
Work It Daily

If you have seen TheTonight Show with Jimmy Fallon, you may have seen him write his thank-you notes to different people and objects using a comedic tone. Yes, I know it’s almost a month before Thanksgiving, but I wanted to take this time to thank some important people and things in my life.

Thank youto my parents for being my biggest supporters throughout my entire life and for raising me to be the person who I am today. Thank you for giving me a sense of adventure, humor, and kindness. Thank you for teaching me the importance of volunteering in our community and around the world. Most of all, thank you for teaching me the love of God.

Thank you to the rest of my family. Your encouragement through each stage of my life means so much to me. I always have fun spending time and hearing stories about how we came to be. Thank you for also teaching me eating ice cream is acceptable any time of the year.

Thank you to my college friends. You each have made my day a little bit easier. We’ve had the best talks and laughs. You help me with my problems while I help you with yours. I’m so thankful for the deeper connection we have established. I know that we are going to remain friends after we graduate and move on with our own lives.

Thank you to my boyfriend. We’ve only been together for about three months now, but it feels like we’ve known each other for ages. Even though we are in a long distance relationship while at college, I feel so close to you. Thank you for being my coach and making me smile every day. I cherish every moment we spend together and can’t wait for more memories to make together.

Thank you SpotifyPremium for keeping me sane everyday without the use of ads. Last year, I listened to about 32 days worth of music. Thank you for allowing me to listen to my favorite artists and discover new ones.

Thank you fried chicken for being the most delicious food. Also pasta, potato salad, ice cream, etc.

Last but not least, thank you to those who have served for our country, those who keep us healthy and safe, and those who are our unsung heroes. I am truly grateful.

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.

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.

Whether you met your new love interest online, through mutual friends, or another way entirely, you'll definitely want to know what you're getting into. I mean, really, what's the point in entering a relationship with someone if you don't know whether or not you're compatible on a very basic level?

Consider these 21 questions to ask in the talking stage when getting to know that new guy or girl you just started talking to:

Is there really such a difference in Challah bread or Easter Bread?

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.
