What are you thankful for?

During this season that is more or less the most stressful time of year when it should be the most wonderful time of year, Thanksgiving is a reality check. Final grades, projects, and that pesky pimple just won’t go away doesn’t mean the world is crashing down. Though we might not want to admit it, finals are what we should be thankful for since it means we are getting an education. When we consider what has a great impact everyday in our lives, what we really wouldn’t be able to live without, our fleeting problems seem meager. 

We are also entering a season of new beginnings, which are often associated with the new year. As we wrap up the past semester and look forward, Baylor students reflect on what made an outstanding impact on their past semester and make them excited for the future.

The three F’s–family, friends, and faith–seem to be consistent among Baylor students. These relationships are crucial for a happy and healthy life, I hope you can agree too.
