In Honor of Thanksgiving; 7 Things I Have to be Thankful For

This article is written by a student writer from the Her Campus at Utica chapter.

With Thanksgiving so close, I was really struggling on what I could write about. So, I figured what better way to bring in Thanksgiving break then to write about what I am Thankful for. I am fortunate to have many things to be thankful for, but these 7 are at the top of my list in no particular order.

1. My Cat Milo

2, My Fish Whiskers

3. My Siblings

  • I love all of you more than life itself

4. My Parents- I also love you more than life

5. My Opportunities

  • Life always takes me by surprise with each new experience

6. My Extended Family

7. My Friends

When it comes down to it, I am thankful for everything in my life, because if anything were slightly different, my life wouldn’t be the same.

Hi! I'm Amber, a freshman from Utica College majoring in Accounting (and hopefully marketing), I'll do my best to write about interesting things! My hobbies consist of shopping, watching Netflix, and hanging out with family and friends.

Meet Bianca, I am currently a Junior at Utica College in Utica, NY.  I am a Criminal Justice major with a concentration in Homeland Security.  Crime investigation has always been something that interests me.  I’m dedicated and passionate and it’s hard for me to quit things. I get that from my father so don’t hold it against me- he was a veteran and police officer for 20 years.   Growing up in a family centered around law enforcement has helped guide me in this direction, and I will forever be grateful.  After graduation I intend to continue on to law school where I can further my education in hopes of becoming a criminal defense lawyer and later on a District Attorney.  An interesting fact about myself is that I found the passion to be a criminal defense lawyer from watching the O.J. Simpson case.  The facts and conspiracy theories evoked a whole new passion behind criminal investigation that I intend to use in my future.  One of my most prominent moments in my writing career was when I wrote for an online magazine and had my most prevalent article hit 1.6k shares.  I believe in treating people with the same kind of respect and manners you would expect in return, and in a way it has helped shaped my expectations in life.   When you first meet me I won’t be the loudest in the room or the center of attention, but I will be intently listening to everything you say, for what you have to say may have a purpose. I believe in purpose. I believe that everyone is here to help you grow into who you are today and who you will be tomorrow.
