Thankful

It is November 2nd. Thanksgiving is 22 days away. I have decided to choose a topic each of those days, and write 18 things that I am thankful for.

Here is the first topic:

College:

1) I am very thankful for my roommate. Brittany keeps me sane. She deals with my craziness. She deals with my insane studying before an exam mindset. I am so thankful that we already knew one another. Some of the people I have met on campus have not been as lucky has I have been in the roommate department.

2) I am thankful for the knowledge to be able to come to college. I may complain about going to college, but I know that I wouldn't have been able to go to college if it weren't for the knowledge that my parents and other influential adults in my life made sure I had before I came to college.

3) I am thankful for Chick-fil-a. Chick-fil-a makes my day better when I am having a bad day. It also gives me a different option other than cafeteria food!!! :-P

4) I am thankful for my Chemistry Professor. A lot of the other General Chemistry 1 professors are not very helpful, thorough, or pleasant. My professor wants us to ask for help. He goes above and beyond to make sure that we fully understand all the material.

5) I am thankful for a big dorm room. I never realized how much stuff I have and need for every day life. I am glad that our room is plenty big for both of our stuff.

6) I am thankful for Campus Crusade. CRU is helping learn to branch out and make new friends, all while learning about Jesus and how we need to be a shining light for Him on campus.

7) I am thankful for new friends. Finding friends was one of my main concerns when getting ready to come to ECU. I have already met a few friends and am working towards more everyday.

8) I am thankful for hot water. There is nothing like coming from a long day of classes and getting in the hot shower to melt away all the stress of the day.

9) I am thankful for coloring books. Who knew coloring was so relaxing. I love to color while I am taking a break from studying or doing homework.

10) I am thankful for my bed. My bed is always a comforting sight at the end of the day.

11) I am thankful for my quiet times. The Lord always finds knew ways to view His love for me. He has been teaching me lately that I am His and His alone.

12) I am thankful for my cellphone. I call and talk to my mom 2 or 3 times a day. I wouldn't be able to do that without my phone.

13) I am thankful for Hot and Spicy Cheese ITS with Chocolate milk. Nothing more delicious for a late night snack.

14) I am thankful for skype. The other night I got to play a board game with my family over skype. It was a lot of fun.

15) I am thankful for the nice ladies at the dining hall. The ladies always bring a smile to my face and always ask me how I am doing.

16) I am thankful for tour groups. I love watching the tour groups that come to visit. It reminds me that I was just like them not to long ago.

17) I am thankful for Dr. Pepper. Just because! :-)

18) I am thankful for prayer. I am continuously brought to my knees in prayer about my life's decisions. What should I do next? Where should I go? Who should I reach out to?

I hope you enjoyed my first list!!!
