There are thousands of things to be thankful for, and here are 15!

1. My family

They make the good days better. I wouldn't be who I am without them. They always seem to "get" me.

2. My amazing boyfriend

He makes me so happy, and I am so thankful for him. Even on the bad days I wouldn't trade him for anything. He is my world, and he means so much to me.

3. My friends

They always seem to know exactly how to cheer me up.

4. My health

There are so many people in this world who don't have good health, so I am thankful for mine.

5. My speech team

They could be called my other family. They are some of my best friends, and I don't know what I would do without them in my life. I love you guys.

6. My cross country team.

Even though my last season wasn't my best, I am so thankful for the lessons and habits it taught me.

7. My FMP class

My freshmen have taught me that I am destined for something bigger than myself. They taught me responsibility and all sorts of lessons, and I am so thankful for them.

8. My boyfriend's amazing family

They treat me like I am a part of their own family, even though I haven't been there long. They remind me so much of my own parents, and I love it. They are super nice, and I love being around them!

9. One Direction

They have taught me so many things and they have helped me solve so many problems. I am glad that I got to know some of their songs.

10. Frozen

It is my absolute favorite movie, and I am so incredibly glad that I fell in love with it.

11. Jesus and God

When i need help or guiding, all I have to do is call upon Him and He will help me and give me the guidance I need. I am so glad that I know that they are on my side.

12. My baby sister

I can trust her with my deepest darkest secrets because that is what sisters are for.

13. My mom

She is my best friend and biggest protector.

14. The food on my plate

I am thankful that my parents are able to put food in my belly and that they have never not been able to.

15. My home

I am thankful to have a house and somewhere to go every day and night. I am so glad I have a home.

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.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

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.
