Intern Chick

I win the award for most creative blog title, right?!

I hope everyone enjoyed their Thanksgiving. I've been so busy lately, I didn't even have time to think about what I was thankful for. My family isn't the cliche New England type family that goes around the table with eloquent words on what they're thankful for. Its more like the sounds of forks banging on plates and the pouring of wine in our glasses, which is a-ok with me.

Thinking about what I'm thankful for is just something I try to keep in mind at least for a minute or two on Thanksgiving. It helps me keep things in perspective and makes me realize how much I do have. Every year I'm thankful for things like still having my family in my life, having a roof over my head and a bed to sleep in every night, having clean drinking water, being fortunate enough to attend college, my health, and my friends--the kind that fill my life with joy and love. Those things are standard.

Crazy things I'm thankful for? I'm thankful for sleep and something I call Baby Pillow, Hip-Hop, Family Guy, digital cameras, cuddly winter clothes like boots and sweatshirts and jackets with fuzzy hoods, old pictures of my grandmother, my cell phone, coloring books and crayons, Nikes, good stories that make me laugh, and the internet.

New things that I'm thankful for this year. Maybe just one thing. I thought a lot about the opportunity that's been presented to me, to be able to live in New York, and work 3 internships. This isn't something everyone will experience in their lifetime and I can't not be thankful that I somehow have managed to attain such a thing. As much trouble as it may give me sometimes, the fact of the matter is, 4 years ago, I'd be dying for something like this and for that, I am thankful. I'm thankful to be able to walk into a record label every day and feel comfortable there because just the very thought of one used to make my stomach do back flips. I'm thankful for everyone that has supported me through the times when I wanted to quit, because without them, I wouldn't have anything else.
