What Are YOU Thankful for?
Quote Addicts

The week of Thanksgiving is filled with lots of food, family, and, of course, awkward encounters with that one family member you only see twice a year at holiday gatherings. While this week is a whirlwind of excitement, its so important to sit down and take a moment to appreciate all the wonderful blessings you have been given. Therefore, in the spirit of Thanksgiving, I've compiled a list of 31 things I am thankful for, each representative of one of 31 days in November.


31 things (but definitely not all) I'm thankful for are:

1. My family

2. Beautiful sunsets

3. My bed

4. The numerous ways we can eat potatoes

5. IU basketball

6. Coffee, of course

7. Cold medicine

8. Yummy smelling candles

9. Colorful pens

10. Leggings

11. Glasses

12. The ocean

13. Naps

14. Fuzzy blankets

15. Comfy couches

16. Late night food runs with friends

17. "Back in my day" stories from my grandparents

18. Inside jokes

19. Books

20. My siblings

21. Dogs

22. People who hold the door open for me

23. People who say "thank you" when I hold the door open for them

24. People who smile as you pass them on the sidewalk

25. People who smile back when you shoot a smile as you pass by

26. Christmas movies

27. Decorating the house for Christmas

28. Pretty Christmas lights

29. Yummy soup

30. Cuddles

31. Campfires

Okay, you get it. The list can go on and on. There are so many things in our lives, big and small, that we take for granted. Take a minute to think.. what are YOU thankful for?

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

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.
