10 Reasons Why Thanksgiving Should Be Your Favorite Holiday

Some say that the best holiday of the year is Christmas. Others say it's New Year's Eve. But to me, Thanksgiving is the best holiday of the year. It's during the best season of the year (Fall), you get to eat all day (score), and you get to be with the ones you love. Who wouldn't want to celebrate those things? Thanksgiving is one of the most underrated holidays and should be at the top of the "Best Holidays of the Year" List for these reasons:

1. You eat to celebrate.

Who wouldn't love a holiday centered around food? Not only is it centered around food, but it's centered around comfort foods. Turkey, mashed potatoes, stuffing, mac & cheese galore. It's like a dream come true.

2. No one judges you for eating "too much."

Sometimes sweatpants are even encouraged at the dinner table! No one bats an eye when you open up the button of your pants or declare yourself in a "food coma". That's just Thanksgiving.

3. Football

All. Day. And it's the best day to watch it because it's on every sports channel you turn on.

4. It brings the family together.

To bond over food, sports, eating too much, being too full and not feeling a little bit bad about it.

5. It's basically the nap holiday.

6. Turkey > chicken > ham > steak

You get the point. It's the superior meat.

7. It's truly about quality time - and not just about gifts.

Don't get me wrong, I love Christmas, but sometimes it's too much about the material things and not enough of the true meaning of the holiday. Thanksgiving is great because you get one of the best gifts of all - spending quality time with the people you love.

8. The weather is perfect.

You're not cooking in the summer heat and you're also not trapped inside people of a snow storm. I think that Fall is the best holiday and Fall and Thanksgiving go hand in hand

9. It's a time to be thankful for what you have and for the people in your life.

If there's one day out of the year that forces you to be thankful for the things you have, it's Thanksgiving. Sometimes life is hard and you need a day of reflection and what better day than this day.

Turkey for daaaaaays!

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
