I Am Thankful For:

(I know it's a long time away from Thanksgiving but I thought I'd get a head start and do this in June because I truly have a lot appreciate.)

1. God, because I couldn't have accomplished what I have without His grace and blessings.

2. A very loving, understanding and supportive family-- Mom, Grandpa, Dad, Brother, Aunts, Uncles... and of course, my PURPIEZZ!

3. My [hilarious] best friends I've grown up with; the ones that helped me move past my sad times so I can smile and celebrate my happy ones.

4. A job I LOVE, in an excellent company whose culture I fit in with.

5. A business degree. Often times, I hated dealing with so many pretentious wannabe brokers and i bankers, but I'm glad I chose to stick it through. I'm even more grateful I made it out alive. (Mind you, despite the stress and CORE, SMG did have the most extravagant class day in BU).

6. Being able to afford things that I want. My spending habits are quite outrageous but they've also been supported to a reasonable extent by my parents who understand retail therapy. I'm forever in debt to them, literally and figuratively speaking.

6A. An iPhone and a Viao laptop. Not quite sure what I'd do without them. NOT THAT APPRECIATIVE FOR MACs THO. SORRY.
6B. My toys.

7. All my experiences, especially the sucky ones because they do make me stronger. I'm also really grateful for the fact that I haven't become all that cynical after them.

8. The awesome people I meet everyday and the relationships I am able to build with them.

And finally,

9. The Justin Bieber tickets I'm about to purchase with my credit card (which is also the only card that will give me preferential treatment to this show)... as soon as I make sure my 15 y.o. cousin will come with me.

9A. The 3 summer days off that doesn't count against the allotted personal days my work has granted me.
