With the holidays being here, it's time to start thinking about what we are grateful for this year, and for all of us going through college right now, the list is endless. There is so much more than just family and friends, especially when your life revolves around living alone and being on a budget.
1. The Bell Curve
Nothing makes a person feel more thankful thank when they think they failed an exam and then their professor pulls out a 10 point curve.
2. Spotify/Hulu Collaboration
Five dollars a month student price for both Spotify Premium and Hulu? Nothing is better for broke college students.
3. Online Classes
The only place 8 a.m. classes don't exist.
4. Family Time
After a hard semester, time with family is wonderful de-stresser.
5. Lab Partners
Nobody else knows how to help carry the weight of labs like your lab partner. You ride together, you die together.
6. Dessert
Nothing makes you feel as good as cake does.
7. Spell and Grammar Check
The difference between an A and an A-.
8. Coffee
Keeping us awake since the first day of classes freshman year.
9. Sweater Weather
Keeping you warm and cozy during the roughest lectures.
10. Dropped Quiz Grades
Mom never has to know about that 2/10 you got while you were hungover.
11. Black Friday Sales
Bless the discounts that finally let us go shopping for the first time since the school year started.
12. Pocket Points
Keeping students focused in class and fed at a discount.
13. Christmas Music
It's the most wonderful time of the year, what isn't to be thankful for about it?
14. Chegg
11:57 pm and the only friend willing t to help you out. Every time.
15. Good Friendships
The people who have never left our sides even when they've seen us at our worst. They're there for us through thick and thin, and couldn't get through a semester without them.
16. Meal Points
Helping buy coffee, cheese fries, ice cream, and candy.
17. Facilitated Career Development
People who help students with their futures without getting frustrated are the true heroes. And when the students get internships and jobs, it makes the holidays even better.
18. Pajamas
You can wear them to class, bed, dinner, on the bus, grocery shopping; the options are limitless!
19. Partial Credit
The only thing saving your GPA.
20. Dunkin' Donuts Promos
Sorry Starbucks, but your prices hurt.
21. Free Food
Let me repeat that, FREE FOOD.
22. Recorded Lectures
Anytime not having to show up for class is a good time.
23. Cancelled Classes
AKA being given more time to study for that exam on Friday.
24. Dry Shampoo
The savior on the days there's no time to wash your hair (or shower).
