The holiday season is finally upon us. It really is a beautiful thing. I know I'm not the only one who can't wait for all the holiday festivities to really begin.

With it being Thanksgiving week I can't help but think of all the things I'm thankful for this year. All the great things I have going on and the great oppourtunites I've had and so much more. So it seems only appropriate to mention the 10 things I'm thankful for this Thanksgiving.

1. My Mom

I'm thankful for my mom every day, 24/7/365. But I'm extra thankful for her on Thanksgiving. She is always there to listen to me, regardless of what it's about. Laugh at my jokes when they aren't even funny. Give me a much-needed hug after what seemed to be the worst. She loves me for exactly who I am and who I want to be, I couldn't be more thankful for that.

2. My Sister

My sister is my best friend, she always has been. Even though we faught when we were little there has never been someone who loves me and supports me more than her, and obviously my mom. She is always there to proect me, give advice, laugh and cry with me. And I couldn't imagine doing it with anyone else.

3. My Family

This is always on of the things I'm most thankful for. Every year I'm always increasingly thankful for my amazing and very crazy family. I'm thankful for their constant love and support. I'm thankful for their advice. And I'm thankful to just have such a big bunch of people who love me endlessly

4. My Friends

Another thing I'm thankful for year after year. I have some amazing friends. They support me, love me, cheer me on and give some of the best advice. They're the people I always have the most fun with and people I know genuinely care about me and will for years and years to come. And that's definitely something to be thankful for.

5. My Boyfriend

He's pretty alright, I guess. althought sometimes I drive him crazy and he drives me crazy. He's always there to cheer me up, eat alot of pizza with me and just make me happy. He puts up with me all the time and I'm thankful for that. Because honestly, some of my family doesn't even know how he does it.

6. My Dogs

If you have a pet and you aren't thankful for them, why do you have one? My dogs are the cutest and most loving things in my life. The're 9 times out of 10 the stars of my snapchat story and the best cuddle buddies anyone could ask for.

7. My Education

I'm so thankful to be able to go to an awesome university to get an education. I'm grateful to get to chose my major and create my own career path. The parking may be terrible and I may have gotten too many parking tickets this semester, but all the other opportunities Rowan gives me make me thankful every single day.

8. My Job

As a nanny, my job can be really crazy and hectic. But I nanny for sucha awesome family. And two kids who drive me crazy but I absoultely adore at the end of everyday. I love getting the oppourtunity to watch them grow up.

9. Pizza

Does this even need an explanation? Pizza is something everyone should be thankful for.

10. Coffee

Coffee gets me through every single 8 a.m. Every night of hours of studying. If it wasn't for coffee I dont know what I would do.

'Tis the season to be thankful and there is to many things to name. Happy Thanksgiving to everyone!

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.
