So thankful
With Thanksgiving last week, it was hard to think of much else besides seeing my family, food and FOOTBALL! (stay tuned for a Beat M!ch!g@n post - I cannot wait to see how campus celebrates Urban Meyer's first OSU v Michigan game).
It has been very interesting to learn about my fellow students' traditions and ideas for Thanksgiving. Traveling hundreds of miles away to visit family, a town over, staying in Columbus and having a "non-traditional" Thanksgiving - everyone has someone and something to be thankful for.
It's too easy to not see the forest through the trees. However, I am so incredible blessed and so happy that I get to go to THE Ohio State University every day and learn from the best faculty and students around.
My life is far better than I deserve - here are my other top reasons to give thanks this season:
- My small, but very mighty, family: I have a fantastic support system, and I don't know what I would do without their cheers during my MBA program.
- The simple fact that I wake up every morning and learn something new. I know, how incredibly cheesy is that statement?! But, it's so true it had to be said. I am becoming a smarter business woman, but also a better person overall. No matter if I am in marketing, finance, operations or accounting - I am constantly pushing myself.
- I am so thankful to have found such great friendships within just a few short months. And I am extremely thankful that they know how to make me laugh when I am stressing out just a bit too much.
- The opportunities at Fisher. If I listed out every lunch, seminar, activity or special event - you would still be reading on Black Friday and missing TONS of great sales. So I'll just say thanks for opportunities :)
- I have thankful to go to school in a city with such energy and life. Really, do I need to say anything more than Beat Michigan Week?!
- Thankful for my other support system, my boyfriend, Sam. Sometimes I feel that he should get his own diploma! I don't know how I would have gotten through data analysis without him.
Happy Thanksgiving everyone! See you next week.
