Thanksgiving is just around the corner and there's no question that it's one of the best times of the year, especially because of the food! But Thanksgiving is also a time to be thankful for the things we have and often take for granted. So here are 50 things to grateful for right now:

1. Family

Because you need them more than anything.

2. Friends

The laughs; you need those.

3. Puppies


4. Cats

Even if you aren't a cat person, they're cute. No denying it.

5. The turkey you're about to shove in your face

6. Oh, and the stuffing too


7. The beach

Because nothing is more peaceful!

8. Fresh air

Better than breathing in swamp air.

9. Netflix

Because we all know it consumes 75% of your free time.

10. Donuts


11. Dunkin Donuts

Because you can't survive off Starbucks.

12. Football season

What else is there to do on Sundays?

13. Pizza


14. Traveling

Because we're actually able to get on a plane and go wherever our hearts desire.

15. Sunrises

Who knew the earth could create something so amazing?

16. Sunsets

A perfect end to any day.

17. The feeling you get after cleaning your room

Even though you know it'll be messy in 20 minutes, for the time being, it's the best feeling.

18. Vine (RIP)

The source of all of your hardest laughs.

19. Funny tweets


20. Christmas movies

21. Dog videos on Facebook

They make any day better.

22. Humans of New York on Facebook

They open your eyes and make you realize that some people have it worse than you.

23. Target

24. Chicken nuggets

...only from McDonald's.

25. Homemade meals

Nothing gets any better.

26. Concerts

There's no better feeling.

27. Old pictures

SO many memories.

28. Tacos


29. Spaghetti and meatballs


30. Baths

Because they don't require as much effort as showers do.

31. A hot shower after a long day

The most relaxing feeling.

32. Being able to sleep in your own bed


33. Warm blankets

They make any day a good day.

34. Fuzzy socks

They automatically make you feel good about yourself.

35. Hot chocolate

Like coffee without all the caffeine.

36. Feeling put together

Makes any day a better day.

37. Coffee, coffee, coffee

38. Warm tea

If you don't like coffee, this is a valid substitute.

39. Hugs

40. Kisses

PDA is OK sometimes.

41. Laughs with people you love

Arguably the best thing ever.

42. Videos of gorillas acting like humans

43. New shoes

Even when you're looking down, they keep your spirits up.

44. When gas prices go down

Finally, we don't have to use our entire minimum wage paycheck to fill up

45. Seals


46. Burritos

This is just a given.

47. Funny stories

Hindsight is 20/20.

48. Your high school yearbook

What's funnier than yearbook pictures?

49. PB&J sandwiches

50. The life you're living

Because even on bad days, we are so lucky to have what we do.

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.

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.
