Acknowledge Thanksgiving
Wired

Holiday season has already begun. Halloween kicked us off, now Thanksgiving is less than a month away and Christmas follows soon after. By then we will all just want to ring in the new year with the same old wish "I hope this year is better than the last". One of these holidays, however is really underappreciated.

Thanksgiving. Think about how much joy is found in this holiday that is so easily overlooked. Families gather together and eat more food than they probably should, but what more could you ask for! Plus, this is a time to remember why we should be thankful. Between all of our amazing family members, the large amounts of delicious food, and the memories made, there are a lot of reasons to smile.

Everyone needs a reminder every once in a while. This time of the year we are reminded of all the reasons we should be thankful for what we have. Each of our unique lives have so much to offer us, and a world without everything we had and everyone we know would be so plain. So, stores tone it down on the Christmas decorations being put out in October. Put Black Friday shopping on the back burner, because contrary to popular belief, the material goods you receive or buy will not be the best part of your holiday season. Give Thanksgiving a little bit of time to do its thing. While you're at it, along the way always, always be thankful.

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.
