It's almost Thanksgiving Break, and I'm feeling reflective. After spending a semester abroad, I see all the aspects of Nova that I didn't appreciate so much my first semester here. This is really my home away from home, and a lot of people and things have made that happen.

Keep reading to see all my favorite parts of campus that I'm grateful for.

*Note: this isn't all of it! It's just all that I'm thinking of at the moment.

1. "South-West" campus

This ones for my not one, not two, but THREE roommates in our lounge room out here in Delurey. We've made it our own little home. :)

2. The new bridge

This makes walking to the Spit for Friday night dinner or the KOP shuttle so much easier. Not to mention, I'm grateful for the awesome view of the church on the way back.

3. Easy going teachers

Thank you for not being angry at me for coming in late to my 8:30. Thank you for being funny, and thank you for not making my college life hard.

4. VSB Perks

Thank you Clay Center. Thank you Bartley Holy Grounds. Thank you Exchange staff. Thank you print center. Thank you business professors. We business kids really have the best support, and I appreciate it beyond words.

5. Hilarious Nova Insta accounts

This one's for you @justbartleythings and @soldmysoultothepit. These are hilarious, and if you don't follow them already, you definitely should.

6. Canceled classes from snow

This just happened, but thank you for not making me walk through the blizzard to my Diff Eq class all the way in Mendel on Thursday night.

7. Camp Co

How could anyone live without Camp Co?! Grateful for the classic 2am Friday nights here.

8. Holy Grounds

Thank you for the yum oatmeal. Thank you for making my dirty iced chai just the way I like.

9. Cova

Grateful for the burrito bowls and awesome pizza and the staff that gets it done after those 12:20 classes Monday, Wednesday, Friday.

10. Special Olympics

Nothing like a great fall weekend of volunteering to make my heart full.

11. Conn Grilled Cheese

Thank you for the soup and grilled cheese because they're unbelievably good.

12. Basketball 

Finally, how could I put this list together without Nova basketball?! Grateful for the amazing energy and pride that bball season brings to campus and so much more.

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.
