It is that time of year when Thanksgiving is upon us. Finally we can feast on endless amounts of food and not be judged for it. But don't forget to be thankful for the blessings you have, because that is the true meaning of Thanksgiving. Although there are many, here are some of the best parts about Thanksgiving.

1. Having a day off to relax and eat tons of food.

You can do that any day of the year, but at least on Thanksgiving no one judges you for it.

2. Pumpkin pie

If there’s one food I have to eat on Thanksgiving, it’s pumpkin pie. And if you don’t cover your piece with whipped cream, I will silently judge you.

3. Crescent rolls

Screw carbohydrates, drown a crescent roll in butter and be proud. After all, what could be more delicious?!

4. Thanksgiving Day Parade

This is one tradition that never seems to get old. It’s entertaining and such a fun way to celebrate the holiday.

5. Cranberry sauce

Even if you don’t eat this, Thanksgiving is not complete without it.

6. Playing games with friends and family

My family and I have started this tradition where we play a different game on Thanksgiving each year. It is always tons of fun and we laugh the whole time.

7. Inviting pretty much anyone you want

Thanksgiving is the one holiday where everyone is more accepting of one another and treats each other with kindness, like inviting someone who might not have a place to go.

8. Napping after dinner

Naps are not only accepted but they’re encouraged on Thanksgiving, aka the best day of the year.

9. Appreciating others and expressing thanks

For me, nothing feels better than reminding myself all I have to be thankful for and reminding loved ones how much they mean to me.

10. Decorating for Christmas the day after

It’s never too early to get excited about Christmas.

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.
