Thanksgiving is quickly approaching, so I took the time to create a collage of everything that makes me happy to be alive. This is in NO way intended to be a comprehensive list, and there are so many other things I'm thankful for that can't really fit into a video... a warm and comfortable home, liberty, being a man, intelligence, empathy, laughter, humor, aesthetics, water, never having to go hungry, the ability to make and learn from mistakes... I could go on and on. And of course, we shouldn't limit ourselves to counting our blessings once a year... It's something we should do all the time. Happy Thanksgiving Week!

1. The Christmas decorations

I am that person who will decorate directly after Thanksgiving is over. This year, my roommates and I put the tree up in our apartment before we even left for Thanksgiving break. It is a great stress reliever for me to just sit in my living room and work on the huge amount of work I have before the semester is over.

Writing a paper is never fun and is rarely rewarding. The writer's block, the page requirement, be specific, but don’t summarize, make sure you fixed any grammatical errors, did you even use spellcheck? and analyze, analyze, analyze.

Papers can be a major pain. They take up so much time and effort that by the end of the process you hate yourself and you hate the professor for making life so difficult. Questions of your existence start roaming in your mind. Am I even cut out for college if I can’t write a single paper? Am I even capable of taking care of myself if I lack the energy to open my laptop and start typing?
