1.) Your Favorite Book

Even if you don't like reading, nothing beats your favorite book (even if the last book you read was part of the Junie B. Jones or Magic Tree House series).

2.) Matching Sock

Some of us mismatch socks and some of us love when they match, so here's a big shoutout to matching socks. Matching socks help us feel like we have our lives together!


3.) Netflix and Hulu

Where would we be without them? Many lazy days would be silent without them.

4.) Good Hair Days!

If you're like me, you rarely have them so let's show appreciation for when we do.



5.) Headphones

No one ever realizes how important they are until you forget them, so this Thanksgiving, don't forget to say you're thankful for your headphones (and for other people's headphones so you're not stuck listening to their music).

6.) Indoor Plumbing

I bet you've never said thank you to your toilet before.

7.) Water

Even if you aren't fond of drinking it, it's a necessity for survival and hydration. Plus, you wouldn't get very far with bathing if you didn't have H2O.

8.) Mashed Potatoes

The most important part of Thanksgiving that we should give thanks to.

9.) Deodorant

Bus rides, grocery stores, and trains wouldn't be the same without it.

10.) Duct Tape

We can make wallets out of it, we use it to fix cars and house appliances. We even collected the ones with patters in middle school when we were all cringey.

11.) Games On Our Phones

Long road trips to Grandma's or Uncle Bobby's wouldn't be the same without them.

12.) Memes

How else are you going to bond with your in-laws and distant relatives? Whether it's one of the many Spongebob ones, the outdated Pepe the Frog ones, or "Wut in Tarnation", they can lighten almost any mood.

13.) Your Favorite Teacher

We always give thanks to our family, our friends, our significant others when our favorite teachers/professors deserves a thanks, too. They work hard, put effort into us students, and try their best to keep us awake!

14.) SparkNotes

I probably wouldn't be in college without it.

15.) Spotify, SoundCloud, Apple Music, Pandora

Without music, we'd be forced to listen to the people around us. We also wouldn't have anything to dance to at parties or much to sing along to in the car.

16.) Candles

Floral, warm, seasonal, birthdays. 'Nuff said.

17.) Coffee

The ultimate pick-me-up for Mondays. And Tuesdays. And any day, really.

18.) Canceled Classes

We all worship and live for those e-mails.

19.) Sunsets

They're beautiful and get our Melatonin going so that we sleep better, so say thanks to Mother Nature!

20.) Our Favorite Hoodie(s)

Whether we're cold or just feeling lazy, we still feel confident and we look great in our favorite hoodie. Hell, wear it to Thanksgiving dinner!

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.

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.
