I am Thankful...

I know it's only October 30th and November hasn't hit yet but I can't help but post early what I am thankful for this year.

 Moving away from home has helped me see how lucky I am to have an amazing support network. I've learned to cherish the short phone calls with my parents, the texts with my brothers and the letters from friends. I was incredibly worried that moving so far away would make me feel distant from everyone at home. Fortunately, this is not the case at all.

Being so far from my family and friends has actually brought me closer to them. It has helped me realize how much they mean to me and how much I love having them in my life.

And while I am thankful for my friends back home, I am also incredibly grateful for the new friends I've made here. I've realized that college is a lot about finding the people you fit with and I feel like I am really starting to find those people. Quickly, the girls on your floor become your family and your study partner in French becomes one of your closest friends (shout out to Lauren!). I also couldn't ask for a better roommate. She is patient, kind and fun loving. I can't believe that we only met two months ago and yet we are already so close.

Lastly, I am thankful to be at such a inspiring school and live in such a beautiful city. This first semester has flown by and while it has had its unique challenges, I am loving it.
Happy month of thanks.
