Now that Thanksgiving has come and gone, it is important to look at your life and find the things that really matter. We all have a LOT to be grateful for…family, friends, a good nap. But here are the other 15 things we’re so grateful for we really couldn’t live without!
1. Coffee
Okay, so this one’s not so secret but we just couldn’t leave it out. There is no way we would be able to drag ourselves out of bed for our 8 AMs without our caffeine.
2. Messy buns
Whoever decided messy buns could be worn fashionably deserves an award.
3. Leggings
So much range of motion.
4. Fuzzy socks
Especially with the cold upcoming months, these little guys will be popping up more and more. Is there anything better than walking around on two happy clouds all day?
5. Candles
There is something about not being able to burn candles in our dorms that makes them so much more magical and mysterious.
6. Binge-watching Netflix
To keep up with The Vampire Diaries while it’s airing or to wait for the whole season to be uploaded to Netflix and watch it all in a week?
7. Quote tattoos
Some of us like scrolling through pretty tattoos on Tumblr, some of us like going to the tattoo parlor and getting “Carry On” tattooed on our ribcage. Either way, let’s hope this is something we won’t grow out of, for everyone’s sake.
8. Our roommate’s clothes
Our roommates have proved to be lifesavers when we’re just running low on clothing.
9. Full-length mirrors
We all had to learn the hard way that in college these are a commodity. There’s nothing worse than realizing halfway through the day that your shoes DO NOT go with your shirt.
10. Phone calls with our moms
Whether we call her on the way to class when we’re bored or first thing in the morning, there’s nothing that lifts our spirits quite like talking to mom.
11. Fetty Wap
*Screams* 1738
12. When people compliment us
We may get uncomfortable and shrug it off but it truly does brighten our day when other people make us feel good about ourselves. Keep ‘em comin’ world.
13. Parents weekend
Parents weekend never fails to take us back to middle school. Your parents driving you around everywhere, paying for your things, going wherever you want to go. Seeing our families has a special way of lifting our spirits in the stressful world of college.
14. Parents weekend grocery shopping
Oh, did you think we failed to mentioned the parents weekend trip to the grocery store? Think again.
15. When people ask us about our school
Nothing makes us happier than having the privilege of talking about our home away from home. Even though we may get the same generic questions over and over again for four years, we never fail to obsess over our school.
