10 Unconventional Reasons To Be Thankful For Your Friends This Thanksgiving
Thought Catalog

We all have reasons to be thankful for our friends: they're always there for us, they understand us, etc. But we also have a million more reasons to be thankful for them, things we don't often think about. Sometimes, we take our friendships for granted. We should all take this Thanksgiving to be thankful for the quirky, little things our friends do for us on a daily basis that we wouldn't immediately think of.

1. They lend you clothes when you "don't have anything to wear."

Seriously, no one else will do this for you. And your friends have the best taste ever, so why not raid their closet while you can, right?

2. On bad days, they're the only ones you can rely on to bring you coffee.

A boy was mean to you? Coffee. You got into a fight with your sister? Coffee. Bad grade on a test? Coffee. And they probably know your order too, and that's just one more reason to be thankful for them.

3. Your friends will cover for you when you're late/absent from class.

Let's all take a moment to thank our pals who always come up with a random excuse as to why you're late to chemistry again.

4. They force you to get out of bed when they know it'll be good for you.

It always ends up being worth it in the end; they know what you need better than you do.

5. Your close friends are the only ones who don't judge you for a messy room.

Mostly because their's is the same way, if not worse.

6. Their Spotify playlists are the only ones you'll listen to.

Your friends' playlists are perfect for every car ride and dance party, and you don't know what you would do without them.

7. Brutal honesty when it comes to outfits before a night out.

Sometimes it results in tears and your entire closet on your floor, but it's always worth it when you find the perfect combo.

8. One of them always has a charger when your phone drops to one percent.

Especially that horrible moment when you're in the middle of a very important text to a very important person (wink wink).

9. They know to never expect you to be on time because they know you're always late.

They're the only ones who won't yell at you when you show up at 8:15 for that 8:00 movie.. They love you anyways.

10. You know you don't need a boyfriend because your friends leave you comments when you post a selfie.

"Yaas slay girlfriend!" "Work it!" "Killin' it in that dress!!"

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.
