14B Everything That I Am Thankful For

Thanksgiving is a time for everyone to appreciate everything in life that they are grateful for.  After my first semester at Southern, I am very grateful to a good education.  I am thankful that my parents are able to afford sending me to college.  Some people don't get the opportunity to go to college because their family isn't financially stable.  Attending college is something to be very thankful about.

I am not from Connecticut so coming into college I didn't really know anyone.  Making new friends was something that I was very nervous about coming into college.  Luckily I made a great group of new friends.  I am so thankful that I made friends with such great people.  Its crazy how close we have already gotten and they make my college experience so much more enjoyable.  I feel like I just met them but I feel so close to them already.  Im going to miss all of my southern friends over thanksgiving break!

I am on the lacrosse team here at southern.  Coming onto the team as a freshman was very intimidating but they were all so welcoming.  I love my team and we are already like a family.  I am so grateful for every single one of them.  Deciding to play lacrosse is college was perfect because it was like coming to school and already having a whole group of friends from the team.  The upperclassmen on my team are all so helpful and I know that I can go to them for anything whenever I needed it.  I am also going to miss my team very much over thanksgiving break.

Overall, my time at Southern has been amazing already.  I am so thankful that I am able to enjoy the college experience.  I am also very grateful for all of my friends and teammates here at Southern. I am going to miss the Southern atmosphere over break but I am going to be back before I know it!
