7 Relatives That You WILL See At Thanksgiving This Year

With Thanksgiving right around the corner, people are hurriedly preparing for the holiday season. People are traveling across the country to be with their family and friends and celebrating with fellowship and reasons why they're thankful. There's nothing like having your entire family together...sometimes. Even though I'm thankful for my family, it can get crazy sometimes — especially on Thanksgiving. And if you have a big family with several relatives that come over, then you will know all about the 7 Relatives That You Will See At Thanksgiving This Year:

1. The Napper

The Napper is a Thanksgiving fanatic. These people are the first ones to fall asleep, and they're probably asleep in the recliner while everyone is still eating. They live to eat and sleep. The Napper is most likely your grandpa, uncle, or dad.

2. The Second Helper

First of all, the Second Helper NEVER shares their food. Actually, they're already getting seconds before some people have had firsts yet. You can usually find the Second Helpers sneaking food during the prayer, or they eat off other people's plates who don't finish.

"Food is important." — The Second Helper

3. The Football Watcher

Ah, the Football Watcher. This person usually stays glued to the game during the whole day, and if you ask him/her to do something, you probably won't get a response because they're in a whole other world.

4. The Dieter

The Dieter is someone who is "on a diet" during Thanksgiving. They take in really small portions, and they're all about killing the calories and carbs. However, some dieters have been prone to sneaking foods to eat for later. Don't let the diet talk fool you, they eat tons of thanksgiving leftovers when no one's around.

5. The Gossiper

MHMMM. YEP. You know who you is. Usually, the Gossiper is the aunt or grandma of the family. You know they're gonna show up, and as soon as you see them, this is how the conversation goes:

"I'm not trying to gossip, but..." "It's none of my business, but..." "I'm not trying to be rude, but..."

Yeah, we ALL have that family member.

6. The Pregnant One

There's always gonna be The Pregnant One in the family. This person always announces that they're pregnant at a big get together with family. And every time they do, there's an awkward moment of silence because no one finds it surprising. They're also the ones with the kids running around everywhere, and their kids also are the ones crying during the prayer.

7. The Vegan Hipster

The Vegan Hipster is always the person who shows up late to the dinner because they had to stop and bring their hipster tofu because they simply don't eat "that."

No matter who you are from the list, enjoy your family this Thanksgiving and the next one and the next one, even the crazy ones. Happy Thanksgiving!

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.
