In no particular order:

1. My nieces and nephew, and the fact that I got to spend this whole day with them.

2. My friends, who fortunately have such a high tolerance for my awkwardness.

3. My boyfriend, who I love so much and miss after being apart for just four days.

4. Thanksgiving TV episodes giving me something to do while waiting for dinner.

5. This ridiculously huge bed that I was surprised with when I came home and makes me dread going back to my tiny dorm bed.

6. My boss, who lets me sell rocks for a few hours every time I come home so I don’t go completely broke during the semester.

7. My bookshelves allowing me to be a narcissist and needlessly display every play, graphic novel, and TV on DVD box set that I own.

8. Amazon eliminating the need to venture outside the house on Black Friday.

9. My potential for change, and the fact that I feel like I’ve grown in these last few months thanks to special people in my life and creative endeavors and some wonderful experiences.

10. Knowing I won’t feel this sickeningly full tomorrow.
