31 Things I'm Grateful For

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.

I was in Indiana all of yesterday and couldn't do a "31 Things I'm Grateful For" post, but I'm back now!

I'm grateful for hot chocolate. I know that in comparison to the other things I've said I'm grateful for it seems quite silly; but I LOVE hot chocolate. How could you not? On a cold winter day or night it's the perfect drink.

If you do not like hot chocolate you've clearly never had good hot chocolate!

These Boots Are Made For Walking

I love my Steven by Steve Madden Intyce boots in black. I got them at Nordstrom for $130 just before school started.

They're super comfortable and they have a slight wedge so they give a bit of height and look dressy when paired with the right outfit.

They work great with just about anything; I've worn these boots with leggings, jeans and bare legs. They're not winter boots per-say, but a good pair of socks and they make great fall boots. Definitely not made for snow as the sole is flat and quite slippery. Luckily for me, my           university has heated sidewalks which means I'll be sporting these boots all season long.

Currently Watching: Secret Diary Of A Call Girl

Secret Diary Of A Call Girl

So I kinda stumbled upon this show yesterday while aimlessly looking for something to watch online and I'm very glad I did. The main character Hannah, and her alter-ego Belle, are hilarious. The show follows a high-class prostitute through her life and it showcases both her professional and personal life. I'm currently finishing up the second season (or series as they say in England) and my heart is kinda breaking for both Hannah and her best friend Ben. I'm not going to go into details, but they're both heartbroken and trying to make sense of their lives.

I'm grateful for the amazing new friends I have made during my time at university. I had coffee with one of my oldest new friends (yes, it sounds odd) today and we just talked about school, boys, and having faith. In general, I guess we just talked about life.

Our little afternoon coffee break really got me thinking.... In these 3 short months I have met hundreds of people and there's about half-a-dozen that I truly call friends today; people I randomly text saying "hey what r u up 2?" for no reason other than to just check-in and see how they're doing.

I'm grateful for the opportunity to go to such an amazing school. I'm not some dumb kid who doesn't understand what a privilege it is go to college; especially my college, where tuition for one year is more than what most middle class families make. Even though I've been here for just under one semester I really do love it here. I've met so many amazing people and have made some really good friends that I actually care about and trust.

I'm going to post one thing I'm grateful for every day until 2011.

I'm grateful for my amazing family; my Mom, Dad and Sister. I feel like I have the most amazing family ever. We get along fantastically and truly care about each other. My family is honestly the greatest thing about my life and without them (any of them) I'm not sure where I'd be.
