31 Things I'm Grateful For

Just trying to catch up on my posts....

I'm grateful for my iPhone. This little phone keeps me connected and entertained no mater where I am. I have the original iPhone (yes THE original), I bought it myself when I was in college and it still works fine so I don't see the point in replacing it. It's basically a phone and laptop but it fits in the palm of your hand. How amazing is that? I was the first in my family to get one and I've convinced about half-a-dozen other family members to get one as well and they all love it!

Here's a lit of the apps I currently have on my iPhone:

• Shazam
• Remote
• Tumblr
• Huff Post
• NY Times
• Solitaire
• 55K Quotes
• P Tracker 
• Texas Poker
• Unblock
• Echofon
• Ocarina
• Toobz
• Bubble Shooter

31 Things I'm Grateful For

I handed in an essay about 2 weeks ago for my Comparative World Politics class and I took wrote about a rather popular topic, but I wrote some non-traditional things. Without going into detail about what I said I'm just going to say that I'm grateful to live in a country that allows me to not only say anything I want, but who also protects my right to do so . Free speech is a right that many of us under-value but in some parts of the world people would die for the right and liberties we have here in America.

Since it's been around 13'F (approximately -11'C) for the past couple days I have to say that I'm grateful for  my North Face winter coat/parka. I bought it last year before visiting my sister for christmas and even though it was almost $300 I tried to justify the price by saying I'd wear it for the next couple years. The coat is black, puffy and super warm. I wore my pea coat (which I adore) earlier in the day and as I was walking back to my room on Sunday I was actually shivering. But once I got to my room I put on my North Face jacket before going to meet some other friends and I was so comfortable just walking outside in the arctic weather. Amazing! So I'm definitely grateful for my North Face jacket that keeps me warm during the cold days.

I'm grateful for Skype. I feel that most people know what Skype is, but for those of you who don't it's this programs/application that allows you to have video chats with other Skype users. Since I'm away at college Skype comes in really handy to talk to my parents, sister and friends. It also has chat and file sharing and pay-per-use international calling. Personally, I think it's really helped me deal with being away from home because I actually get to see people rather than hear a voice over the phone. My Mom even uses it to talk to her mother who lives in Europe. It's a great way to stay connected to people on a more personal level.
