Even though most of us are still digesting our Thanksgiving dinners, I'm fully ready for the festive Christmas season to be in full swing. Here are some of the things I'm most excited for, and deep down, I know you're just as excited.

1. Bright Christmas lights. 

The only good thing about the sun setting at 5:00 is being able to see bright Christmas lights earlier!

2. The anticipation and excitement before opening a present.

It's just sitting there under the tree, taunting us.

3. The satisfaction of ripping open wrapping paper. 

Ripping it is sometimes better than the present itself.

4. The satisfaction of perfectly wrapping a present with a bow on top.  

Martha Stewart can fight me.

5. Christmas Music. 

Christmas music never fails to put me in a festive mood.

6. Mariah Carey's "All I Want For Christmas Is You" on repeat. 

Simply iconic.

7. The excitement of buying gifts for other people and awaiting their reaction. 

One of my favorite things ever.

8. Ugly Christmas Sweaters. 

An excuse to be even more extra festive.

9. Revisiting your favorite Christmas movies. 

A big blanket, warm cup of hot chocolate in hand, the tree is lit in the corner, and you have a large stack of Christmas movies to go through. What could be better?

10. And watching really cheesy ones too. 

Impatiently waiting for The Christmas Prince: A Royal Wedding. Meghan Markle, move over.

11. Peppermint Hot Chocolate.

And white hot chocolate, caramel hot chocolate, hazelnut hot chocolate, creme brulee hot chocolate, the options are endlessly wonderful.

12. Actually, the whole Starbucks Holiday Menu.

When the red cups come out, it's officially Christmas time.

13. Baking.

What's better than the smell of freshly baked cookies?

14. Spending time with family and friends. 

Christmas is a great time to be thankful for all you have.

15. Watching A Christmas Tree Lighting Ceremony.

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.
