Six Things Every College Student Is Thankful For This Thanksgiving
keep calm-omatic

Thanksgiving is a time to be with family and reflect on how thankful you are for everything in your life. While some of these things may change from year to year, and others stay the same, I know all college students are thankful for these few things this year.


1. Chipotle

So, maybe the food chain hasn't had its best year with an E. Coli outbreak forcing a few locations to close. But nonetheless, no college student can say they aren't thankful for burritos the size of their face or a guac. covered bowl that tastes like heaven.

2. Booze

Every college student's thoughts: "Thank - you, thank - you, thank - you, alcohol, for always having my back. You help me forget my ex, make me brave enough to talk to my crush, and you create the greatest memories that I already forgot."

3. Roommates

You eat each others' food and wear each others' clothes, and most of all you understand each other when no one else does. We're thankful for having that person to annoy when we're bored, and someone always down to watch a movie or go out with you.

4. Netflix

Although this may be a love hate relationship, college students are thankful for Netflix regardless of how much it makes them procrastinate or how late it makes them stay up binge watching. When all else fails, turning on Netflix is guaranteed to make your day a little better- whether it's three seasons of Grey's Anatomy alone with a bottle of wine, or Netflix-and-chill with bae.

5. Caffeine

Every college student has a different poison- whether it's daily Starbucks, a RedBull before they go out, or a five-hour energy drink to get them through the all-nighter studying for that exam they forgot about. Whichever it is, or some combination of them all, all college students are thankful for this crazy "drug" that gets us through the day and often times night.

6. Thanksgiving Break

This break couldn't have come at a better time. After every single professor decided to assign four years worth of work in the past week, we're finally free to go home and relax (and do the other work that that one asshole professor assigned during break). From home cooked FREE food, to your own bed, to seeing your high school friends and family for the first time in what feels like centuries, thanksgiving break is something all college students need and are extremely thankful for.


So yeah, we're thankful for our family, we're thankful for how fortunate we are to be getting an education, and we're thankful for how #blessed we've been in our lives thus far. But at the end of the day, these six things have been helping us through college and we are SO thankful for them. Happy Thanksgiving.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
