It seems that Halloween, Thanksgiving, and Christmas all blur together. More often than not, people skip Thanksgiving and go straight to Christmas. Here are some struggles for those that are ready to carve a Christmas ham before a Thanksgiving turkey.

1. Wanting to just deck the halls already.

Halloween is over and all you really want to do is break out the icicle lights and trim the tree, but the rest of your family is not necessarily on board.

2. Craving Christmas cookies when everyone else wants pumpkin roll.

The craving for gingerbread is real.

3. You're ready for the 25 days of Christmas, but A Charlie Brown Thanksgiving is playing on repeat.

The 25 Days of Christmas in unarguably one of the best parts of the Christmas season.

4.You can't wait to go shopping for Christmas gifts, but no one else is in the spirit yet.

There's just something so satisying about buying great gifts for your friends, loved ones, and even your Secret Santa.

5. You're ready for Christmas activities, but no one else is.

You want nothing more than to spend a night in with hot chocolate, fuzzy socks, and the Polar Express, but pumpkin patches and Friendsgiving are the activities of choice.

6. You have the perfect Christmas tree in mind, but tree farms aren't open yet.

Pulling a Griswold is always an option. Serious, Clark?

7. You're ready to crank the Christmas tunes, but Top 40 is all you can find on the radio.


You want to jam to Jingle Bells and other Christmas classics, but no one else is ready to go caroling just yet.

8. You want it to snow, but it's still at least fifty degrees out.

The winter wonderland you're dreaming of is still a ways away.

9. You want to drive around and look at Christmas lights, but there are none.

You're looking for light up reindeer and Santas, but pumpkins and scarecrows are all that can be found.

10. Above all, you're feeling holly and jolly all alone.

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.
