The Best Things About Thanksgiving

Thanksgiving is approaching fast, which means 2016 is almost over, and Christmas is right around the corner! Thanksgiving is easily my favorite holiday! Here are 10 best things about Thanksgiving!

1. Mashed Potatoes

Mashed potatoes are absolutely my favorite thing! The first thing I think of when heading to Thanksgiving is mashed potatoes. Mmmm. And if you add gravy to them, it's even better!


2. Food In General

Green bean casserole, turkey, macaroni and cheese, bread rolls... Ugh all so delicious! Your options are truly endless on this magnificent day.


3. Family & Friends

Thanksgiving is a GREAT time to spend with family and friends! No matter who you are spending time with, make the most of it and enjoy it!

4. It's Okay To Eat A lot

Eat eat eat! Eat all you want, this is one day that you can eat everything and get a way with it!

5. Dessert

Pies so many pies. Cakes and cookies. Dessert is probably the second best, after mashed potatoes.

6. The Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade

I love the parade. I love seeing the floats. I watch it every year, it's crazy how big the balloons are and how many people it takes to carry them.

7. Having The Day Off

Ahh, a day off of work/school. No worries in the world, except how are you gonna eat all that food.

8. The Time Of Year

Fall is all-around a good time of year. The leaves are gorgeous and depending on where you live, the weather is not too bad.

9. Giving Thanks

Being thankful for the things and people in your life is the best feeling. That is really what Thanksgiving is about. You take time out to be greatful for everything you have been blessed with.

10. The Feeling of Being Super Full

I love the feeling of being full, because the nap you take after eating is by far the best thing in life.

In an age where artificial intelligence can mimic the voice of Freddie Mercury or reimagine pop hits as synthwave ballads, a new frontier has emerged — one that blurs the line between innovation and erosion. While AI offers undeniable benefits in technical domains, its intrusion into creative arts, especially music, raises urgent questions. Not just about copyright, but about culture, education, and the very soul of artistic expression.

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.

We are all more than just one sign.

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.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

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.
