Fall is finally in full swing! The leaves are brilliant colors- crimsons, oranges, and golds, and they're swirling around as they fall from their branches. The weather has suddenly turned cold and the season of oversized sweaters, leggings, boots, scarves, and beanies is upon us. Pumpkin spice lattes are back, along with everything else pumpkin flavored. November is the bridge between Halloween and Christmas for most people, but for me, it comes with my favourite holiday. With Thanksgiving just a few days away, here are some things I'm thankful for!

1. The Colors

The colors of autumn are by far my favourite part of the season. The vibrant reds, yellows, oranges, and even browns always put a smile on my face and there's nothing like the satisfying crunch of leaves under you feet while you walk once they start to fall.

2. Oversized sweaters

Sweaters are not only some of the most comfortable clothing items in existence, but they're also cute! Whether you prefer solid colors, patterns, wool, knit, or cashmere, you can never go wrong with the classic sweater, leggings, and boots combo.

3. Pumpkin Pie

While fall is the season of pumpkin everything, I am most thankful for the pumpkin pie I get to eat on Thanksgiving. There is nothing better the a delicious slice with a dollop of whip cream to finish your Thanksgiving dinner.

4. Scarves

Anyone who knows me knows that I absolutely hate walking outside and feeling the cold on my neck. I know it sounds weird, but an exposed neck in the cold is one of the worst feelings. That's why I'm thankful for scaves! They come in a plethora of colors and patterns and you can usually find a way to work them into any outift.

5. Pumpkin patches

Pumpkin patches are a fall staple. Everyone wants to go to the pumpkin patch and take cute pictures. It's a rite of passage every year! A day at the pumpkin patch is a day of fun with your friends, so what's not to be thankful for?

6. Apple picking

A day of apple picking means delicious apples to eat for days to come. While the picking itself might get tedious, a day with your friends never is.

7. Baking

On days that it is too cold to go on a trip to the apple orchard or pumpkin patch, stay in with your friends and bake instead! Baking is a such a bonding activity and you can eat your treats at the end of the day. Count the memories, not the calories!

This Thanksgiving season, what are you thankful for?

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.
