It's the time of year where it's almost totally necessary to say what you're thankful for. I'm going to be a bit of a cliche and list what I am thankful for just before the actual day of Thanks.
1.) My mom and my dad
My parents are the strongest people I know, hands down. When my mom was diagnosed with cancer I was scared but with a positive attitude she kicks cancer's butt every day. My dad cares for her and they both work hard to provide for me. They're the bomb and I love them so much. I am thankful for their constant love and support. I am also thankful that they met, fell in love, and had a pretty great kid!
2.) My pets
April and Napoleon, I know you can't read but thank you for coming into my life. My pets are everything to me, they have such keen instincts that they know when I'm sad or upset so they will comfort me. They can drive me a little crazy sometimes but I love them to death. I am thankful for the comfort and joy my animals give to me.
3.) My job
As much as I complain that I have to go to work for potentially long hours, I am thankful I even have a job. I am able to make money and work with se great people I will always be friends with.
4.) My school
There's an inside joke at my school where we call it "SUNY Poorchoice" , but in reality it's far from that. I'm thankful I go to a school with open minded people who make it a great community to be apart of.
5.) My professors
I almost put professors in with school, but I truly believe they deserve their own spot on the list. The effort they make to get to know you and help you is truly appreciated. My professors truly care about my success and I couldn't thank them enough.
6.) My family
When you've got an amazing yet crazy family like I do, you're super thankful. They've always been there to support me and make me laugh always. When my mom was first sick they all made sure I was okay. It was so nice to feel their love, which I feel every day.
7.) My apartment-mates
My apartment-mates this year are the bomb. I was afraid that when my roommate and I moved into our new apartment on campus that we would be reliving the living situation from last year. We couldn't have been more wrong. We've become so close with them and they're truly great people. I'm thankful for their friendship and their humor! They're hilarious and I love it.
8.) My Roommate
My roommate is someone I'm thankful for every day. We got through a tough living situation last year but with her support we got through it. We have a great bond and we'll always be best friends. I love my roommate to the moon and back.
9.) My best friend from home
Well and my best friend from school since for our entire lives we've been in the same school system. So from 1st grade to senior year in college, we've been in the same school! I am thankful we've stayed close through the years, including the awkward middle school ones! I would say we've been through our my chemical romance phase together but is that really over? Regardless you've been my best friend for 9 years and I love you!
10.) My boyfriend
This boy has been putting up with me for the over a year and nine months, so yes I'm thankful for him! He's always supporting me and making me laugh! Whenever I'm freaking out he calms me down and makes me smile. I'm thankful he loves me the way he does and I know he'd do anything for me. Thank you for being you, I love you!
