14 Reasons Why Thanksgiving Break is the Greatest

The countdown for Thanksgiving break has begun. The fourth Thursday of November can't come at a more perfect time, the time of year when you just need a break from school and work. Making memories year after year, Thanksgiving is one of the greatest holidays.

1. Spending much needed time with family and friends.

2. Thanksgiving food is the best food.

3. Relaxing on the couch watching football and movies.

4. Sporting your stretch pants for days at a time.

5. The irreplaceable satisfaction of sleeping in your own bed.

6. The annual attempt to do a little workout before the feast.

7. Blackout Wednesday is very anticipated.

8. The chaos that is Black Friday shopping.

9. Reunited with your pets.

10. Five days of not even thinking about school work.

11. Leftovers for days.

12. Family games you know eventually turn into quarrels.

13. Since 1924, the annual Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade.

14. The end of No Shave November.

15. You are truly thankful and blessed.

Thanksgiving brings family and friends together. Take time to reflect on the good in your life. Be thankful for the simple things because one day those simple things may not be there and in reality the simple things are the realest of them all. Stop thinking about what you don't have and be thankful for what you do have. Taste the good food you consume on Thanksgiving and live in the moment. Happy Thanksgiving!

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.
