I am thankful for...

My dad for driving to Lehigh to get me so I can go into the city for all the various crap I have going on: interviews, art exhibits, trunk shows, etcetc or when I just want to go home. And driving me back at like 1 in the morning too (so I can make it to some frat party). Seriously, best father ever. You could have easily said no to all of it and make me actually figure out on my own how to get from Bethlebumblefuck, PA to NYC. Oh, and also not screaming at me when he sees my credit card bills every month.

My mom for trying to give me every opportunity in the world. You have devoted everything for me and everything I do and every mistake I make, I always have you in mind. Every time you tell me not to buy something over the phone, I do it  anyway… but it’s because I know when I get home and you see what I’ve bought, you ALWAYS LOVE IT. We’re basically the same person and you’re always looking out for my best interest and well, honestly, I’d rather shop with you than my friends.

My brother for taking the LSATS and being my inspiration on working hard and studying my ass off (or trying too.) He’s away in Boston for this Thanksgiving… (first time ever my immediate family has been apart.) But honestly, you deserve nothing but the best. We rarely talk, but when we do… I’ve noticed that either one of us is drunk/high.

My BFFs -Yeah, that’s right, I used that term- for understanding me. It’s been what?? three years since we where all in the same state and driving to the Short Hills Mall for shopping sprees or seeing Rent for the five billionth time. Three years later and it’s still the same thing. We can be in different continents (coughcoughjealous) and not see each other for like a year, but when we’re back together, it’s like nothing has changed.

The nine/Jolla and the boy for knowing the real me and that I’m such a fucking attention whore. For knowing when I’m truly upset even though I say I’m not. For knowing despite the fact that I’m a bitch, I’m really am a good person. For keeping me young, spontaneous and sane and being even more ridiculous then me and loving all the nicknames and random crap we think of.

My favorites from Lehigh for dealing with how much I hate going to school in Pennsylvania and for loving to binge drink. Whenever I go home all my friends are shocked by how much I can drink. No one wakes up at 8 a.m. for morning cocktails and to drink heavily the entire day. Seriously, if you don’t go to Lehigh, you don’t understand our bond. Plus, who else do I constantly say, “I’m bored” too?

New York City for always being a bus ride away. The past two months I haven’t gotten you out of my mind. I have made every excuse, attempt, reason to go back to you. You’re my second home, my escape, my shopping haven, the place where I go to clear my thoughts and to just live. I love the fast-paced quality and the life that you breathe into me. I can’t wait until I graduate college and move into the city and spend the rest of my life there.

My winter internship at Lucky! I still probably have no idea what I want to do in my life, even though I think I’ve got it. But, you know what, this is the time and the place to make my mistakes. I’ll be okay. Plus, I’m so fucking excited, you have no idea. AHHHHHH, what am I going to wear????

SurftheChannel.com because I don’t have TiVo at Lehigh. How else would I watch Entourage and HIMYM? Seriously, I wouldn’t stay sane at school without this site.

My Canon for not failing me yet. Thanks to my dad for getting it for me. It’s been through a lot, coughcoughbeerbath. My friends are thankful for you too, because apparently all of them say/believe that they look the BEST in all the pictures from my camera. Obvi.

Blair Waldorf and Chuck Bass for bringing back the fact that it’s good and fun to be a little devilish. All in a day’s work right? But honestly, I was wearing headbands way before GG started.

David Karp for inventing Tumblr and well, because he’s just good/nice/pleasant to look at.
