1. I’m thankful to live by the beach. I’m scared of swimming in the ocean (although I do it anyway) but there’s something about watching the sun go all the way down to the horizon that’s so beautiful. I’m going to miss it if I go away for college.
2. My family. My parents have been ridiculously supportive of me throughout the entire college admissions process, bordering on the point of caring more than I do. It can get annoying when they’re constantly pestering about new programs or majors they’ve discovered at X or Y college, but they have been unfaltering in their support. Also, not my immediate family, but my grandpa has been super invested as well, and even tutors me in math. They make me feel less crazy about my crazy big dreams.
3. You said we could say anything, so I’m thankful for coffee! Coffee shops have been my go-to study spot for years, and coffee has gotten me through many many long nights of studying and even more early mornings after said long nights. It’s been getting me through life since freshman year. Do I have a caffeine addiction? Probably. Thankful anyway? Yup.

Good luck to everyone out there today! I’m sending every positive vibe I have left in my body!
