Thankful

Happy Thanksgiving everyone!

It's late, but I've been spending my day with my family (and hope you have too!). I feel like Thanksgiving is such a great breath of fresh air in the middle of the most rushed time of the year. It seems like with preparing for holidays and the end of the year everyone seems to take everything for granted. The long weekend to catch up on everything piling up and give thanks for what you have could not be more perfectly timed. Now I'm going to share with you some things I'm thankful for, and I want to hear what you guys are thankful for in the comments!

1) My family and friends

Of course, number one is always going to go to the people who help me get through the day. I'm blessed with a family who provides me with everything I need and more and friends who are sometimes the only thing that keeps me going. I'm thankful that they're all healthy and here with me (especially my dad) because that has not always been the case during the holidays.

2) The fact all of these applications will be due soon

I AM SO SICK OF DEADLINES AND APPLICATIONS AND RESUMES AND EVERYTHING.

I didn't realize that even after I got into the college I want to go to, I would still have to write multiple essays and resumes and fill our applications for several programs. I just want it to be over. :( Thankful that the deadlines for all of these are within the next two weeks and then I can breathe again.

3) This time next week I will be in New York City

I'm SO SO SO thankful for the opportunity to be traveling to NYC next week with my closest friends. And super thankful for parents that are paying for me to go. I'm going with DECA and getting to experience so much that I wouldn't if I was going on my own. The best part is that I will be there with about 30 of my favorite people. OH AND I MIGHT GET TO MEET ANNA SO THAT'S THE REAL BEST PART.

4) Getting more organized/doing better in school

Funny how senior year I'm actually starting to develop study habits and get organized...  Better late than never, I guess? I've finally had classes that I've had to actually try in this year (that sounds awful) but they've whipped my butt into shape. Thankful that I'm not having to learn all of this the hard way next year.

5) The Undeniabæs

Last but certainly not least, my ladies. These girls are my rock. They are the only girls I can really relate to, even when my real life friends don't understand. We're so diverse but so much alike. I feel like we were all brought together for a reason. I don't know why but I don't need to. All I know is that these girls are some of the strongest, most loving, powerful girls that I know. I care about you all so here's some pinecones on a string.

And of course all of you. It might not be a lot, but just the fact that some people read this and care about what I have to say means the world to me. Here's to hopefully many more memories to share with you!

COMMENT AND TELL ME WHAT YOU'RE THANKFUL FOR!
