On November 22 we will all sit around the dinner table and think about what we are thankful for this year. The collegiettes at Her Campus are thinking about it a few days early and sharing with you what we appreciated in the last year.
As always, let us know what you are thankful for by leaving a comment below!
I’m thankful that my house is still standing! Hurricane Sandy basically landed on my house. Though we suffered damage, my house is still liveable and everyone is okay.

The continuous support of my loving family.

I am most thankful for my network of supportive friends, family and the HC community!

Well, since I live on the south shore of Long Island, I am thankful that my parents and my home are okay after Hurricane Sandy. I am also thankful that I am a sophomore who attends Ithaca College so that I can receive the best education possible.
– Carly Schneer, Campus Correspondent, Ithaca College
Not to sound cheesy, but there simply isn’t one thing that I’m thankful for. Without my health, happiness and my amazing set of friends and family, my life wouldn’t be nearly as good as it is!
– Kelsey Mulvey, How She Got There Editor, Boston University
I’m thankful I met a great group of friends as a transfer student this year!
– Sydney Nolan, Contributing Writer, Macalester College
I am thankful for books and the wonderful escapades they’ve taken me on this year.

I am most thankful to go to such an amazing school where I have so many opportunities and am able to get a great education!
– Rachel Crocetti, Campus Correspondent, Hofstra University
I am thankful for my parents who gave me the most amazing opportunities during the last year (and throughout my entire life). In the past twelve months, I’ve had the privilege of living in four cities spanning two continents, and travelled to many more cities in between. If it weren’t for them, I quite literally never could have done it (an intern’s salary can’t foot that kind of airfare!). Thank you Mom & Dad, love you!

I am thankful for my wonderful best friend/roommate, Vanessa. She listens to my rants, makes me tea when I’m sick, and is always there when I want to talk something out. I could not survive college without her!
– Katie Naymon, Contributing Writer, Johns Hopkins University
I’m thankful for home-cooked food and being able to catch up with my younger siblings. A couple days of sleeping in and hanging out in the cozy, calming environment of home is just what I needed. Also, catching up with friends in my hometown.

This Thanksgiving, I’m most thankful for my parents and their unconditional love and support. When I graduated high school, I couldn’t wait to go to college and be free of all those pesky parental restrictions, but now that I’m about to graduate college, I couldn’t be more grateful for everything they’ve done to get me to where I am today. Thanks, Mom and Dad :)

The Twilight Saga ending – as a diehard Harry Potter fan, HP has undeservedly been compared to the Twilight series, and I’m ready to see more than one facial expression from anyone besides Kristen Stewart.
– Julia Kennedy, Campus Correspondent, University of Portland
Every Thanksgiving my family goes around the table and we each say what we are thankful for. It is kind of a tradition of sorts. This Thanksgiving, I am thankful for my amazing family. They are the best support system in the world. My parents and siblings have helped me become the strong, independent woman that I am today. It is because of my family’s strength and encouragement that I am about to graduate from Purdue University and start my career. It is because of my family that I have a strong faith in the Lord. It is because of my family that I am a confident, happy, and outgoing individual. I am so blessed and thankful to have a family that has provided me with so many opportunities and has always pushed me to do and be my best.
