Happy Thanksgiving

Wow. It's been awhile since I posted last, but as today is Thanksgiving I figure there is no better time. Here is my I am thankful for post...
1. Mia famiglia. It is good to be home and see my mom. It's been awhile and it's always nice when she does my laundry and makes delicious food. My family has always been super close, so every time I'm home my grandparents and my aunt always come to visit. It's nice...until my grandmother asks if I have gained weight...her social etiquette can be lacking sometimes.

2. Miei amici. My friends are the greatest. I miss them from home all the time, but we are staying in touch. It was so good to come home and be able to hang out with them again. Just like old times. I love my new friends too! We do literally everything together. I love them. <3

3. Mia scuola. I am so happy to be at UVA, I firmly believe that it is the right school for me. I love so much about it, from my classes and my professors to the way most people dress (preppy and I love it). Of course there are some things that I don't like, like the food, but there are going to be those things about any school you go to. Sure I still wonder what college would have been like had I gone to Georgetown, but there is always grad school. UVA was definitely supposed to be my school.

4. persone che seguono i loro sogni (people who follow their dreams). These people are inspiration to millions of people around the world. I hope that everyone has the courage to follow their dreams without fear of failure. After all everyone wants to live a meaningful life and following your dreams will help you do that.

5. Tecnologia. I seriously cannot live without my iPhone, my mac, my iPad, my TV, my iPod, etc. Thank you Steve Jobs for creating the best products ever. I am a hardcore mac person and that will never change. However I am bummed because I am transferring to the E-School (Engineering School) at UVA and therefore I have to buy a windows computer. I am confident that I will get so frustrated with this new computer in the first few months that I will break it, but I digress. Technology plays a huge part in everyone's lives and I could not imagine life without it. Just yesterday I saw a post on pinterest about dial-up internet when you couldn't use the phone and the internet at the same time. Boy have times changed.
