6 Very Little Things I Am Currently Thankful For

I am thankful for lots big things (my family, my education, my friends, etc), but sometimes it's the little things that make us happy that we forget to acknowledge.

1. The fact that my sister, who just got her license, cleaned out the car we now share. It was my car for a year and now it's ours, and Lord knows I never cleaned it. But she has a knack for cleaning and organizing, and when she called me and excitedly told me about how "clean and pretty" she was going to make the car, I was a little skeptical. But now every time I drive, I am greeted by the delightful aroma of a seasonal air freshener. She is the best thing that ever happened to that car.

2. I am thankful year long for the movie Home Alone. I am not exaggerating when I say that I can quote the entire film word for word. I actually don't think there is another movie out there that brings me as much joy as this one does. So, I guess I'm really just thankful for the fact that on any given day, hearing the words "pack my suitcase" or "look what ya did ya little jerk" can put me in a good mood.

3. On the day after the election, I cried and felt like I was going to barf all day long. So two of my lovely friends went to CVS and bought me a Frozen themed card and a little stuffed Minnie dressed as a Christmas elf. Every time I see them, I remember that I have friends who will pick me up when I'm down. Plus, they know that Disney is the way to my heart.

4. I am thankful for tea. All kinds of tea. Herbal tea, black tea, green tea, chai tea- I don't discriminate. One of the best feelings in the world is being able to sit down after a long day and drink a hot cup of tea out of one of my favorite mugs. Pure bliss.

5. The fact that I am not alone in the world is nice. It sounds like I'm making a joke, but I'm not. There are so many people out there who have no one in their corner, or at least who feel that way. I am so glad that I have people who I can count on, and I need to remind myself never to take them for granted.

6. I have this jacket that is really soft and fuzzy on the inside, so it keeps me warm, but it isn't bulky so it's really easy to wear and I don't feel restricted by it. I am thankful for this jacket.

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.
