5 Things You Should Be Thankful for

Staying with the holiday theme we have going, I thought Id share what Im thankful for this holiday season, and let everyone know. Sometimes we look over the small things, but those are the ones we should be the most excited for. The things we don't take time to stop and think about in our daily lives.

1. Our Friends:

Even though they drive us insane at times, they put up with us as well. They know how to cheer up our day, and know exactly when we need a good laugh. Even though it seems small, let your friends know you are thankful for them. A simple "Hey, thanks for doing life with me", goes a long way".



2. Education/ Professors:


For many of us this seems ridiculous. But yes, you should be thankful for the education you're getting. Its something SO many people would love to have, so don't take it for granted. Be thankful you get to submit a 2,000 word paper every now and then.

3. Technology:


Again, this is something we may overlook because it seems so small, but we should be thankful for our iPhones, and computers that allow us to do anything at the click of a button. Say a "thank you" to Siri, I promise you'll get a kick out of her response.

4. Memories:


This one is unique, but sometimes we don't stop to think of all the great memories we've made this far. Theres probably plenty out there that you don't remember. As weird as it sounds.. shout out to Time Hop for reminding me of my "dramatic" middle school years.

5. Your Parents and The People You are Closest to:


Lets be real here, family will dive you nuts sometimes, but they are the people who will love you unconditionally. Cousins, Aunts, and even your Uncle Mike. A "thank you" to mom and dad are always in need, and I promise they'll love hearing it.

Whatever it is you're thankful for this year, make it known, because you never know when the last time you'll have it with you. Happy holidays, from my family to yours!

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.
