I feel like I’ve been ungrateful lately and since it’s a new type of New Year here are the things I’m grateful for:

1. My family, who I am always thankful for but don’t tell them often enough.
2. My friends, I’m not the easiest person to be around and often stray into absolute boringness. Thank you for putting up with me.
3. My bed, which serves as home base and happiness the more stress there is.

   

4. My grandma, for showing me how to rally in life.
5. All the books, self explanatory really.
6. Nice pens, for making taking notes feel like fun.
7. Music, self explanatory.
8. Cheese, for providing me with a diverse array of happiness.
9. Fuzzy Socks, self explanatory- fuzzy + socks = warm happy feet.
10. Dear Unknown, for letting me take a load off of my heart and mind, and be selfish.
11. School, for forcing me to wake up and do something with my time and dig deeper.
12. The color gray, for being happy, sad, and beautiful.
13. Snacks and study breaks, which go hand in hand.
14. The bruises I earned.
15. The days that I feel productive.
16. The days that I feel okay with myself.
17. The days that I feel happy.

There is so much I could put down, but for now this is what I’ll share. There is too much in life that I take for granted, there is too much that I don’t thank you for. So this is my big “thank you” for the things and people in my life that don’t hear it enough.

Thank You.
