Thanksgiving is a time of the year that is far too often neglected in favor of Christmas. Stores are eager to rush into the commercialized “Holiday Season” without allowing us to take time to reflect and give thanks for what we already have.
I have so much to be thankful for this year. I’m thankful for my friends, I’m thankful for my family, I’m thankful for nature, I’m thankful for cats… the list goes on. But I’m especially thankful for Tufts—the good, the bad, the snowy, the politically correct; I’ve learned a lot from this little school, and I want to express my gratitude for the people and places on this campus that are special to me.
