8 Thoughts We All Have On Thanksgiving

Thanksgiving is definitely one of the best holidays. Everyone looks forward to the feast and to be with family. It's a chance for all of us college students to go home and reunite with family and friends while enjoying being home at the same time. Many of us probably have the same thoughts in our mind over this holiday.

1. Home Sweet Home

By the time Thanksgiving comes around almost all college students are ready to go home for a few days. You're in need of some home cooked meals, your pets and a couple loads of laundry done courtesy of your mom. It's the point in the semester where most of us can't wait to be home and have a break from school. And if you're a commuter student like me, you're excited for all of your friends to be home and to be reunited with them.

2. TGE turns to KMS

Thanksgiving Eve is such a huge going out night leaving us hungover on Thanksgiving. Being reunited and seeing everyone from home is fun, but then you wake up the next morning being too hungover to watch the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade. And it hits you even more once your little cousins are running around screaming before dinner.

3. Do Not Disturb

Laying on the couch hoping that your mom doesn't call you to come help her clean or cook. Just let me watch the parade in peace!!

4. "How's school going?"

Holidays always come with so many questions from your family like ,"How's school going?" And you always reply with "Great!" even though you probably just failed a test, had two breakdowns last week and are already having anxiety over all the finals that come right after break.

5. Let the feast begin

You walk into the kitchen ready for the turkey and the feast that comes with it. Everyone's thinking "Let's get this dinner started."

6. Can't stop, won't stop

It's halfway through dinner and you're so full but you must keep going...it's too tasty to stop now.

7. Bring on the food coma

A Thanksgiving feast always gives you a food coma. As soon as everyone is done they are headed straight to the couch to digest the mountains of food they just engulfed. You feel like you're going to explode if you move, so there's nothing else to do other than just lay there.

8. Ready and refueled

Now you have come out of the food coma, you're ready and rejuvenated for the craziness of Black Friday. Time to decipher the perfect plan to catch all the sales.

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.
