Simple Joys

Thanksgiving is just around the corner, and everyone's making lists of things they're thankful for. However, I am completely original and creative, so my list will be of a meager amount of the simple joys of life.

• The fact that they take your best ACT score, not your most recent like when my parents were in high school
• Flirting
