20 Small Things to be Thankful For
thanksgiving

We always recognize the huge things we should be thankful for this season like pets, cars, diamonds, but lets just take a tiny moment to recognize the small things we should notice and be thankful for.

1. Your headphones, for those few times you've dropped your phone and they were the real MVP and saved your screen from shattering.

2. When your dog doesn't bark as you come home way past your curfew.

3. When you're about to sneeze after putting on a fresh coat of mascara, but your body holds it in.

4. Your professors for believing you were really sick those days you slept through your class.

5. Spotify premium discount for students.

6. Cold pizza waiting for you at home for those nights you get the drunkies.

7. Discounted Halloween candy.

8. When the eyeliner on your left eye matches your eyeliner on the right eye.

9. Award shows.

10. Your screen protector for taking one for the team and shattering, saving your actual screen.

11. Finally finding that song you've had stuck in your head but didn't know the name of.

12. When your chip to dip ratio is on point.

13. When you remember you have a four day weekend and your week ends after Wednesday.

14. Getting tagged in the most relatable memes.

15. When you run a red light but no one comes after you and you don't see a flash.

16. Victoria's Secret 7 for $25 sale.

17. When you actually get the chip vs. swiping correct on the first try.

18. When you thought you had to parallel park but found a pull in spot.

19. Hearing loose change in the dryer that you just put your clothes in.

20. When you find a whole test on Quizlet.

Although we may be thankful for many of the larger things in life, we also have to remember to be thankful for these small relatable things that I know you all laughed about as you read this well thought out list. Happy Thanksgiving from yours truly.

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.
