It's safe to say I am officially the worlds worst blogger. In the future I think I won't set any sort of "time-line" goals, such as posting once a day. Somedays, the only website I have time to check is my e-mail, and then maybe some random twitter updates from my phone...
I have a lot of catching up to do here, but life gets in the way and in all honesty, I would rather live my life in the real world than online. As much as I love the internet, I like my real-world friends better!
I am now home, enjoying a relaxing day with my brother and step-dad, and waiting for laundry to get done so I can go see Harry Potter with my brother tonight! I think we're probably the last two people in the world who haven't seen it...
With tomorrow being Thanksgiving, I feel especially guilty about not keeping up with my posts.
So for today I am going to post 8 things I am thankful for.
1. I am thankful for the ability to read and the fact that I can openly read whatever I want to. Reading gives you the ability to develop your mind and develop thoughts and opinions. Whether its in print or on the internet there is so much information out there. I am so thankful that I have access to all of this information. I often think of books like Farenheit 451 or 1984. In 451, the people who memorized books, the professors who had the knowledge in them that were on the run were very much my heros. I can't imagine a world without books, without reading or knowledge. Since I came to school, I always made the excuse that my not reading was due to being too busy, but since I have started making time for it, I feel better, more organized and less scatter-brained.
2. I am thankful for my little brother. While he's not really "little" he is 18 months younger... but almost a foot taller. He is the only one who has gone through everything that I did growing up with me. He had always been "my protector" and I would do anything for him.
3. I am thankful for my boyfriend. He always know how to make me smile or laugh, even when I'm upset. As he would say, "it's scary how well our sense of humors match each other." Even when we don't agree on things we laugh about it... or fight until we laugh, but really we don't fight that much. He doesn't always know what to say to make is better, and sometimes he makes me mad, I know I do the same thing to him. It's been over 2 years now that we've been together, and we're still not that sick of each other... so something must be right.
4. I am thankful for Kristy Dickbernd. She is my VP and my PB. She goes out of her way to help me and get things done when I dont have time. There would be a lot of things that didn't get done without her.
5. I am thankful for my chapter Advisor. She is a volunteer for us, and she does so much, even though she is married and has a 1 and 2 year old! She spends so much time for us working to make sure we succeed as a chapter. I also have gained a really good friend in her, and have had some of my best times in college hanging out with her!
6. I am thankful for my best friend growing up, Lori Eveleth. Even though we are 1500 miles apart, whenever we talk, or whenever we are together it's like nothing has changed. Growing up together, we learned together, made mistakes together. We fought and laughed and cried and did cheerleading, girl scouts, and drama together. Now we're both getting ready to graduate college and she is getting married in August! This year is a smart, wonderful girl who I am so lucky to call my best friend.
7. I am thankful for my fab five girls. Even though Hannah now lives so far away, these girls would do anything for me and I would do anything for anyone of them. Even though we're all busy and don't get to see each other that often, we always have SO much fun when we're together.
8. I am thankful for the fact that I have always had food on my table. I have never gone without, and even if my mom had to work two jobs when we were growing up to support us, we always had everything we ever needed. I am thankful for her selflessness and her sacrifice to raise two children all alone.
Tomorrow is Thanksgiving. The time of year where you have to come up with at least one thing you're thankful for.
What's yours?
