If there’s one day of the year everyone thinks of what they’re thankful for, that’s in two days. Thanksgiving is the day most Americans get to sit around the table with friends or family and enjoy a full meal. Maybe for some of us college students that full meal is one we can appreciate after eating frozen dinners and dining hall food. Here are five things we should be thankful for in 2013.
1. Technology. This is the year we were introduced to some cool things like the Microsoft Tablet, the iPad mini, and smartwatches.
2. The 6-second videos. With apps like Snapchat and Vine, we’re able to communicate and get creative with these pictures and videos that last very shortly. You can watch some of the best Vines of 2013 and send Snapchats to your best friends.
3. This year we’ve had a lot of great movies come out in theater. From Iron Man 3 to Star Trek 2, Monsters University and Thor 2, This is the End, The Hunger Games: Catching Fire, and still yet to come: The Hobbit: Desolation of Smaug.
4. Even though some of us can’t wait for the weather to get colder so we can break out those cute boots, scarves, and head to Starbucks for those special winter drinks, we’ve been lucky to have warm weather throughout the year! Yes, it means extra months to wear those cute shorts you got over the summer and still being able to go to the beach.
5. Last but not least, and maybe the most important thing to be thankful for this year: to good health! Friends and family! And low gas prices!
