There are so many beautiful aspects of life that we need to appreciate more. There are so many things to be thankful for. The things we need to appreciate are not material things, but things that we have in our life that can't be bought. Take the time to think of the things you are thankful for and spend time appreciating those things.

The people in your life that matter most to you are a huge thing to be thankful for. The relationships that you have with your friends and family are so precious and cannot be bought. Those relationships are something that you should hold onto with everything you have. Show these people that you love them because without them life would be very hard and very different. These people are the ones who have helped shape you into the person that you are today, and that is something to be grateful for.

There are things that you will experience in your lifetime. Some experiences will be bad and some will be good. That is just part of life. Something that every human being on planet earth wants to experience is falling in love. To fall in love takes extreme vulnerability and a lot of risks. If you are open with someone that you have the potential to fall in love with, you are giving them a valuable part of yourself and giving them the responsibility to build you up and love you back, or completely destroy you and break your heart. It is a terrifying concept but is a beautiful experience.

Enjoy the little moments in life that make you the happiest. The moments that are spent laughing until you can hardly breathe and tears are rolling down your cheeks. The moments that you are grinning from ear to ear to the point of your cheeks starting to ache. These moments in life are the ones that make life so much more enjoyable. These moments can be very brief and short-lived, but they can make your day or even your week so much better.

Appreciate the company of others, whether it be people you just met or people that you have known for a long time. Appreciate the quality time that you spend with others. That is something that you should hold dear to your heart because it can't be bought. It is an experience only between you and that other person.

There are so many things to be thankful for, but the best things in life can't be bought. Take time to appreciate the little things in life that make you the happiest. Appreciate the people around you who love you. Appreciate your unique daily experiences, because nobody is experiencing the exact same thing that you are. Your life is unique to you, take the time to really appreciate it.

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.
