5 Feelings That You Have Post-Thanksgiving

It's the most wonderful time of the year! Christmas and all of the winter wonderland is here and you are ready to celebrate with holly and mistletoe. You're full of good cheer--along with a few other feelings.

1. You're stuffed. I mean really stuffed.

Turkey, cranberry sauce, stuffing, sweet potatoes, green bean casserole, macaroni and cheese, pie, and you did not skip out on the rolls. You literally cannot eat another bite or you'll explode – oh wait! Peppermint bark!

2. You've got Christmas fever.

Decorating the tree, hanging up the lights, baking Christmas cookies--all the wonderful holiday happenings that you have been waiting to do are all here and you finally can do them! You're busting out those Christmas carols and stuffing those stockings! It's less than a month until the big day!

3. You're as snug as a bug in a rug.


Enormous sweaters, extra blankets, fuzzy socks, and hot cocoa by the fire – you are doing all that you can to keep the sniffles away so you can better enjoy the holiday!

4. You're slightly stressed.

It's the end of the semester, so the deadlines are back again. Finals are just around the corner and are leaving you a little pressed for time.

5. You're in the giving mood.

I love giving gifts, particularly planning out the special ones for specific people. Seeing their faces light up when you give them exactly what they wanted, and a little something extra is the best feeling!

" Happy Holidays" to everyone! Stay warm and safe as we begin our holiday season! Also, remember to stop, take a breath, take in the moment, and spend some time with your loved ones this season!

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.
