With the official kickoff of the holiday season a mere two days away, I’ve realized it’s time to re-count my blessings. Enough bitching about exams and projects, I’d like to take this opportunity to reflect on all of the things for which I am thankful.
I am thankful for:
I am thankful that I have at least one more month of fitting into my pants before my mom bakes 1,000 sugar cookies (that might actually be an accurate number).
I am thankful that it is finally cold enough I can use long underwear as an excuse for why my booty is looking so Gold ’n Plump.
I am thankful that I have a pretty legit fake ID to tie me over until I turn 21 in January that I only have 45 more days to soberly await my 21st! I’m coming for you, Wando’s.
I am thankful there is a Twitter hashtag for First World Problems so I can feel less selfish for complaining about my first world problems.
SPOILER ALERT. I am thankful Leslie Knope and Ben are FINALLY back together on Parks and Recreation. The awkward tension was killing me.
I am thankful for my mom’s complete inability to send text messages from her Droid. “Liking forward to seeing my girl!” Looking, that is. “After 6. Happy today i” Read: I’m working until after six but I’m still in a good mood. They never fail to brighten my day and occasionally make me guffaw in the middle of class.
I am thankful for Amanda Bynes movies. I don’t care if they’re stupid. She just gets me.
I am extremely thankful that I’m resourceful enough not to panic when a Nyquil capsule got stuck midway down my throat the other night. I am also glad no one was home to hear my awkward wheezing noises as I lay upside down on my stomach off the edge of my bed and tried to let gravity reposition the giant pill. Liquid-gel my ass, it felt like I swallowed a rock.
I am thankful that apparently the new way to tell someone you’re no longer interested in him or her is to simply stop talking to him or her for several days. Who needs a lengthy, thoughtful conversation when you can just drop off the face of the planet instead?
I am thankful for karma.
I am thankful all of the Harry Potter movie soundtracks are on Spotify.
And last but not least, I am most thankful for @GovWalker finally, FINALLY starting to tweet in (for the most part) full sentences. It’s gr8 2 c we are making $$$ from r reforms, but I mostly didn’t know what the hell you were talking about.
What are you most thankful for? E-mail Jaime your list at jbrackeen@wisc.edu.
