5 Unconventional Things To Be Thankful For This Thanksgiving

A quick reminder to be thankful for things other than your friends and family this Thanksgiving!

1. Netflix

After a long, tedious day of classes, what’s better than cuddling up in bed, binge-watching your favorite show while forgetting about all of your responsibilities that you have? Nothing. Netflix is probably something we all take for granted. As you stream all of your entertainment you find yourself discovering the hottest new shows or even re-watching classics, obviously reciting every line.

2. Facebook Food Videos

While doing your morning Facebook scroll, you already know that you are bound to come across at least three food videos. Watching someone make a Mozzarella Stick Onion Ring, a Cinnamon Bun Waffle, or Churro Ice Creams Bowls is sure to make your mouth water or even trap you in your computer screen, watching every food video ever created. You better hope no one will want to unfriend you after sharing food videos daily!

3. Having Exact Change

You know that satisfying feeling when your Starbucks drink costs $4.01 and you have EXACTLY four dollar bills and one penny? Be thankful for those little moments in life.

4. Good Hair Days

There’s nothing like rolling out of bed ten minutes before your 8 AM with your hair still perfectly curled from last night. Definitely be thankful for the days that there’s no need to throw your hair up in a messy bun or wear a hat.

5. That Best Friend That Tags You in at Least 5 Memes per Day


Getting that Facebook notification “______ tagged you in a comment” is the best feeling in the world. If you or your friend even miss a day of tagging each other you know there’s going to be a fight. It’s that friend who tags you in funny memes when you’re sad or relatable memes with the comment “this is so you”, that you should appreciate this Thanksgiving.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.

Whether you met your new love interest online, through mutual friends, or another way entirely, you'll definitely want to know what you're getting into. I mean, really, what's the point in entering a relationship with someone if you don't know whether or not you're compatible on a very basic level?

Consider these 21 questions to ask in the talking stage when getting to know that new guy or girl you just started talking to:

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.

Top 10 Reasons My School Rocks!

Why I Chose a Small School Over a Big University.

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.
