Things I’m Thankful For: College Edition Part 2

Some more things I never thought I'd be thankful for, but am really glad that I am this year as a college student.

1. The creation and existence of Netflix

If it weren’t for Netflix, I would never have gotten to know the much needed and deserved hype for shows like Friends, The Office, How I Met Your Mother, Parks and Recreation, Jane The Virgin, and the other countless amount of shows I still need to watch. There has basically never been a day of boredom, needless to say.



2. To not go to a college with a huge campus

Although my classes are a 10 to 15-minute walk away from my dorm, I’d rather have the liberty to wake up 20 minutes before class starts than to have to take a shuttle or bike across many parts of a campus for minutes on end.


3. To have Taco Bell and Starbucks in my Student Union

Taco Bell Tuesdays are now an essential part of life that I cannot live without, as well as having Starbucks to be there for me when I feel like splurging on my dining dollars and not going to the dining commons for coffee.


4. To be eligible for all sorts of discounts

Up to like $400 off your Macbook plus a free pair of beats at the Apple store for being a college student?! At this point, my driver’s license can be replaced by my student ID (that’s a joke please don’t do that).


5. Not having to live a bell schedule life

Although I was put into an 8:00 a.m. class by San Jose State University in order to be in the same classes as other engineers, I’m so happy I don’t have to sit through class after class from 8:00-3:00 like I did my whole life prior to college (don’t worry seniors, you’re almost there!)

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.
