I don't know about you, but Thanksgiving break is a Godsend for a college kid like me. It is the perfect time to rejuvenate so you can go back and kick finals where the sun doesn't shine. These are the five basic activities that are on my to-do list.

1. Sleep. A lot. 

The rumors were true. College truly is the most exhausting, stressful, yet fun time all mixed together. Do your body a favor and get some much-needed rest.

2. Hug your dog

This is the most important thing, honestly. I totally understand the whole emotional support animal movement because that little fur ball brings me so much joy and you just need to get one so you can relate and we can be annoying together.

3. Eat so much

hey girl, you deserve it. We have worked hard this semester so treat yourself and eat that pie, or seven. Bikini body season isn't for a while so we have time to get back on that grind, don't you worry.

4. Answer annoying questions

Yes, unfortunately, it's that season where family gatherings obviously take place and you are going to be asked a million questions about school, your relationship status, and your 10-year-plan after graduation. Try to keep a positive attitude and use this opportunity to catch up with family. So yes Grandma, I am still single!! But also I missed you a lot, homegirl.

5. Be thankful

Well of course I'm gonna be cliché and tell you guys to remember what this holiday is all about and to be thankful to the big man upstairs for the people around you and the quality time spent. So, go do all of these things because I said so! Have a great Thanksgiving and eat lots of turkey!

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.
