What I'm Thankful For

Thank you, 2016.

What I'm Thankful For
Food Network

Obviously, I'm thankful for things like my family, friends, boyfriend, dog, good health, and the roof over my head. But this year I want to make a list that's specific to 2016. In no specific order:

1. Harambe.

Everyone knows Harambe, and he has been an internet sensation for months now.

2. Bernie Sanders.

Although he wasn't the candidate and therefore didn't become the next president, this man has inspired so many young people to vote and bond over how great he is.

3. Corn dogs.

They're just great.

4. Finding Dory.

I waited thirteen years for this to happen, and it finally did and it was adorable.

5. The Chicago Cubs.

After 108 years it finally happened. I might not be the biggest Cubs fan, but it was great to see Chicago so happy, and for so many people to be brought together.

6. Spongegar.

These memes had their hysterical way onto the internet this year.

7. Hotline Bling.

Not only was it catchy, but we got some pretty great memes from it too.

8. Dat boi.

9. Otters.

They're just adorable.


10. Food videos on Facebook.

I don't know why this started, but I'm so happy it did.

11. Stranger Things.

OBSESSED.

12. Spicy boys.

Soon enough, fire ants will officially be called spicy boys. Anything can happen in 2016.

13. President Obama.

It's his last year as president, and I'm going to miss him so much. He's probably the coolest president we've had.

14. Kanye on Twitter.

Watching Kanye rant and express his thoughts on Twitter is just hilarious.

15. Ken Bone.

While half of the people were focused on the presidential debate, the other half were focused on Ken Bone, who immediately became another internet sensation. Love the sweater, dude.

So that is what I'm thankful for in 2016. I'm sure 2017 will bring even more outrageous things to be thankful for.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

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.

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.
