What We’re Relay Thankful For….
Coming back to school after a relaxing
Thanksgiving break at home or elsewhere with the ones we love can bring much
stress and anxiety. As we prepare for finals, we can
easily list the frustrating things surrounding our lives, but let’s not forget
all we have to be thankful for this holiday season! We asked some Relay Exec.
members to tell us what they are thankful for during this special time of
celebration and joy.
