11 Reasons Why We Should Be Thankful For Thanksgiving

It's November, which is the weirdest in-between month ever. Countries around the world are already in full swing with Christmas carols and holiday-themed movies. Here in the States, however, the countdown is for Thanksgiving. Well, it's really for the day after, when we're technically allowed to begin the Christmas celebration. Thanksgiving is kind of seen as the holiday in the middle of two awesome ones. The Thanksgiving parade will even have Christmas music going on while the day is only halfway through! Here are 11 reasons that Thanksgiving should get as much love as other holidays.

1. You get to see your family again, if earlier than you thought.

2. Time off of school or work is almost guaranteed and, if you do work, hopefully people thank you for it.

3. All the food!

4. Spending time with loved ones.


5. Did I say food?

6. Watching the parade!

7. Seeing the Snoopy float go by Macy's.

8. The smells of Thanksgiving food cooking.

9. There aren't any annoying songs to get stuck in your head, so you won't look like this.

10. "A Charlie Brown Thanksgiving" TV special.

11. You are reminded of what matters the most.

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.

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.
