What YOU Can Be Thankful for

With next week being the holiday for which we give thanks for all that we are grateful for, you will most likely be bombarded with family members asking you what you are thankful for this year. Rather than giving the same routine response (i.e. family, friends, school, good health), allow me to give you some other options…

1. There are only a few weeks left until the fall semester is complete. Yes, that means that finals will be here before you know it, but it also means you are closer to having a whole month off to relax after a hectic semester at school.

2. The Lizzie McGuire Movie is on Netflix. I think I speak for everyone when I say THIS is what dreams are made of.

3. Next week is the premiere of Netflix’s Gilmore Girls: A Year in the Life. I don’t know about you, but I plan on spending my Black Friday by shopping from my computer while watching every single episode. There will be coffee involved, and lots of it (Lorelei would approve).

4. When we return from break, John Carroll brings out the works. Yes, finals will be upon us after we pig out on Thanksgiving, but JCU always compensates for this stressful time. This includes the fun activities in the library, constant free hot chocolate and coffee in the atrium, and therapy dogs. And don’t forget the big holiday mass with late night bingo in the caf!

5. JCU beat Mount Union. Because victory over our rivals is always something to be thankful for.
