1) Family

Of course, this is everyone's go to answer when they're asked what they're thankful for, but my family is truly the biggest blessing in my life. I'm fortunate enough to belong to a family that is not made up of just my blood, but my best friends. While there are some who can't stand to spend a night in with their parents, or even make it to a family dinner, I jump at the opportunity. Often living a busy life can get in the way of quality time with them, however it's the type of thing to make time for, cause when thing's get crazy and overwhelming, sometimes a home-cooked meal and a few episodes of friends on the couch with my family is JUST what I need.

2) Good Friends

You all know what I mean when I say that there are friends, and there are GOOD friends. The ones that you can count on to be there on your best and worst days. The ones that are there to to listen when you need to ramble about your latest drama, and then scream sing a Taylor Swift song in the car that relates, and the ones that bake brownies and dance in the kitchen with you until midnight on a Tuesday. Having people like this in my life is essential in keeping myself sane, and I'm lucky enough to have a few pals like this around. However, I never realized how much I took these friendships for granted until one left for boot camp, one went back to college, and two went to study abroad, leaving little ole me all by myself in our hometown. Never the less, we all talk just about everyday and I am nothing short of happy for all the memories they're making while they're away.

3) Coffee


It's safe to say that I am not a morning person, and unless I've had my cup of coffee, it's probably best we don't talk yet. While there's always talk about how bad coffee can be for you, not a care is given on my part, and I will keep happily sipping on my Starbucks.

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.

I was asked so many times why I wanted to go to a small school when a big university is so much better. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure a big university is great but I absolutely love going to a small school. I know that I miss out on big sporting events and having people actually know where it is. I can't even count how many times I've been asked where it is and I know they won't know so I just say "somewhere in the middle of Wisconsin." But, I get to know most people at my school and I know my professors very well. Not to mention, being able to walk to the other side of campus in 5 minutes at a casual walking pace. I am so happy I made the decision to go to school where I did. I love my school and these are just a few reasons why.
