Happy Thanksgiving!

Greetings from home! Although I've enjoyed this fantastic time off, I have been busy prepping for the next couple of weeks leading to finals. But it is nice to see my family at this time of year. When the hectic schedule sometime frazzles me, I appreciate coming home a lot more. I occasionally get homesick because I have younger siblings and I don't want to miss out on their lives because I'm at school. But as the quote says "Absence makes the heart grow fonder" and I have found it to be completely true.

For Thanksgiving this year, the student organization I'm involved in, along with many other organizations donated canned goods to others in need of a Happy Thanksgiving. Donating the cans to some seemed gratifying, and to others as a nuisance, but to those families that recieved the cans - they finally had a complete holiday dinner that they could share with each other. It was a great feeling that as a college student, you can help out so many by doing something so small as to donate cans. A little goes a long way!

I feel as though I've neglected my posting duties, so you will definitely be hearing from me more often in the next few weeks!
