I Am Thankful For

I am thankful for Devin O'banion from our english class. Devin's super nice and it always brightens my day when i see him in the hallway or division. He contributes very insightful and thoughtful comments to our discussions quite often, with just a taste of humor to keep it interesting. He gave out mini donuts the other day which should hint at how nice and generous he is, which were delightfully rich and soft i might add. He's one of the best dressers i know hands down, plus easy on the eyes which is great cause i have a desk facing his. We've known each other for a while now and we have two other classes together besides english, division (which some might not consider a class) and gym plus we do soccer together, so i think its safe to say we'll enjoy many shenanigans together over the course of high school and this year. So Happy Thanksgiving!

I Celebrate Myself

Every person has their own, unique outlook on life; i believe view varies from person to person in at least one way, small or large, which is ultimately what makes an individual. I personally try to have an optimistic view on life. I don't necessarily have a specific philosophy, but i do think people should do what they can to make themselves, and the people they love, as happy as possible. If someones lives there life doing something they hate, they're unhappy and have not taken advantage of what life has to offer. Therefore i think its important for people to do what they love, whether it be teaching or exploring natural beauty, like we saw in "Into the Wild". This doesn't mean do whatever you want, as some rash decisions can severely, emotionally damage those around you such as your family (unless you truly believe it is justified). Loved ones such as family are important as they're emotional state significantly affects you, and it is important to do what you can to make them happy as well. An ambitious person might have to work harder to attain the same level of happiness as someone less ambitious, which is good as it contributes more to other people usually. But if someone is happy doing less, and finds beauty in other things, it usually means they can live happy more easily.
