I am thankful for...
20. Glee, if you love musicals- you would the show. It's about these misfits and not so misfits who are in a Glee club, mentored by the Spanish teacher at their schoo, Mr. Shuester. This show covers everything that high school could be about (hahaha, I wouldn't know) teen pregnancy, sexting, crushes on teachers, parent abandonment, adoption, falling in love, homosexuality, etc.
19. College, I love to learn, I love my professors, the Women's Studies Department, I like my job, the campus, the food joints, janitors, food service people, etc! The love I have for them all is probably why I haven't left yet.
18. Taylor Lautner as Jacob Black in New Moon, how could I not be thankful for this "hunka-hunka burning love"? He is what made New Moon enjoyable. I loved him so much that I bought a shirt. In February, I'll be thankful that he's 18, graduates him from jailbail to eye candy.
17. My new found strength, which makes me realize that I am worth it- that I do not deserve to be manipulated and disregarded for someone else's pleasure. I am not a cold hearted bitch for telling people how I feel I should be treated because I that's what I feel it should be.
16. Christmas Carols, though I'm not entirely in the mood for Christmas, Christmas carols put me in a warm mood. Even the sad ones, ie "Christmas Shoes."
15. A professor who grades papers while in South Africa, Seriously, who does that? A wonderful woman, that's who.
14. Phem interactive magazine, its my feminist break from the outside world.... it sparks ideas and gives me something to think, its the best thing that no one is talking about! Make it loud!
13. Food, more specifically: Filipino, Japanese, Indian, and Vietnamese; without your consumption, I would not have gained that extra 10 pounds this year.
12. A job, it may not be the best job on the planet but it is mine and brings in some extra income, something that many people do not have these days.
11. Facebook, if it wasn't for this social networking site, I would have no idea what is going on in anybody's world PLUS its a great distraction from school. Plus it helped me connect with friends and family that I have not seen in years!
10. Books, the perfect book is an exciting escape from reality. If I could, I would stay in my room and read all day.
9. New friendships, making friends is hard, its easy for some and harder for others. I am glad that I have met some awesome people at this time and can't wait to get to know them better! Some, I treasure more than others! Over the past year, I have let go of people and allowed some to enter into my life.
8. Old friendships, these people have been here since the beginning of college. They are the oldest and closest friends I have. I can't get enough of them, which makes me miss the past because we all had more time to spend with eachother.
7. Don't Stop Believing by Journey, it's become my anthem of sorts- if I can't finish a paper or project.... these are the lyrics I think of.
6. Tropicana at Atlantic City, NJ, so its taken most of my college tuition but it reminds me that sometimes, I am a princess and should be treated as such.
5.Text messages, if you have been on the receiving end of one, you should know why! I love sending them more than receiving, and while they are no substitute for voice interaction.... they allow to have conversations with people when you really don't want to. AND HAVE BECOME TOOLS FOR GOSSIP!
4. My Maryland Family, Thank you for not forgetting us, you could really write us out of your lives and you choose not too. I love you!
3. My adopted extended family, You know.... my "aunt" and "cousins," you have been there for us through thick and thin and vice versa. I love you, we love you!
2. My parents , you're not the best but you try very hard and I thank you for it! I know Im a hard kid to get through to but...... what ev.
1. Last but not least, my brother, it makes me cry when I think about how close we are not anymore. We've been through a lot and I love you a lot. You are more independent than I give you credit for. I guess you could say that you are my first baby, but we raised each other. From what I can tell, we did a pretty damn good job. I am more excited for your future than I am for mine! I know you will get ahead in this world, just keep your head up high and your feet on the ground.
