What I'm Thankful For

Who said we had to wait for Thanksgiving to be thankful?

What I'm Thankful For
quotesgram.com

We all have this habit of waiting for special days and holidays to tell the people in our lives who and what we are thankful for. I want the people in my life to know that I am forever thankful for them and what I am thankful for. I don't want to wait for Thanksgiving, Christmas, or my family members birthday for them to know exactly how I feel about them and what I am grateful for.

1. Summer

I love summer in general, The beach, tans, long nights, friends and vacations. What's not to love and be thankful for? I think this is something that every student can relate to since school has just ended for many. For the summer, we are finally free of papers, quizzes, exams and everything students hate. I am so thankful to have summer to get a break from all of this.

2. Family

I love my family. They have always been there for me and supported me in whatever I wanted to do. They have loved me and cared for me and gave me some of the best and most important lessons in my life. Without them, I am not afraid to say I would not be where I am today. I love them dearly and I want them to know that I am not just thankful for them on certain days, but all year long.

3. University of Wisconsin- Milwaukee

I am thankful for the school I get to attend. I know how blessed I am to get to go to college. I knew that I always wanted to go away, and at first, I didn't think that would always be possible. But, because of my parents and my stubbornness I got to go away and experience all these new adventures. I am so thankful for UWM and all the memories I have made and all the memories I will continue to make.

4. Sorority

I am so happy that I got the opportunity to rush and find my home away from home. I have met some of the most amazing people from AOII and I know that they will be lifelong friends. I am so lucky that if I have a problem, or need some girl time, I have so many loving and caring sisters that will be there for me and support me.

5. Girlfriend

I may not tell her enough, but she knows how much she means to me; a little reassurance never hurts, though. We became so close in such a short amount of time. She went from a stranger to my best friend, to my girlfriend and I couldn't be happier. She's my rock at school and the person I tell everything too. She deserves to know that I am so thankful she came into my life.

6. Friends

To my friends at school and back home, I want you all to know that you have helped me become the person I am today. You have helped me through some of the toughest times of my life and some of the best. To each and every one of you, know how much you mean to me.

Sometimes just telling the people in your life you love them isn't enough. Those people deserve to know how thankful you are for them and how much they mean to you. I am thankful for many things, and its time I start saying it more.

Do as I say, not as I do.

Your eyes widen in horror as you stare at your phone. Beads of sweat begin to saturate your palm as your fingers tremble in fear. The illuminated screen reads, "Missed Call: Mom."

Growing up with strict parents, you learn that a few things go unsaid. Manners are everything. Never talk back. Do as you're told without question. Most importantly, you develop a system and catch on to these quirks that strict parents have so that you can play their game and do what you want.

"Friends" maybe didn’t have everything right or realistic all the time, but they did have enough episodes to create countless reaction GIFs and enough awesomeness to create, well, the legacy they did. Something else that is timeless, a little rough, but memorable? Living away from the comforts of home. Whether you have an apartment, a dorm, your first house, or some sort of residence that is not the house you grew up in, I’m sure you can relate to most of these!

There is nothing quite like family.

Family is kinda like that one ex that you always find yourself running back to (except without all the regret and the angsty breakup texts that come along with it).

No matter how long your class is, there's always time for the mind to wander. Much like taking a shower or trying to fall asleep, sitting in a classroom can be a time when you get some of your best ideas. But, more than likely, you're probably just trying to mentally cope with listening to a boring lecturer drone on and on. Perhaps some of the following Aristotle-esque thoughts have popped into your head during class.

Bob's Burgers is arguably one of the best and most well-written shows on tv today. That, and it's just plain hilarious. From Louise's crazy antics to Tina's deadpan self-confidence, whether they are planning ways to take over school or craft better burgers, the Belchers know how to have fun. They may not be anywhere close to organized or put together, but they do offer up some wise words once and awhile.
