Festivus For The Restivus

Kramer even thought this was nuts.

Festivus For The Restivus
Seinfeld_Festivus

Festivus is a made up holiday from Seinfeld, but it is actually amazing and we should definitely celebrate it. It sounds hilarious and fits right into all the PR about the Holidays in 2017 avoiding religion and scrutinizing materialism.

In the series, George's dad had created this Holiday and he had a very specific agenda for the Festivus festivities. If you plan on celebrating it this year, take notes.

First of all, during Festivus you put up a pole in lieu of a tree. For many millennials this might be the most appealing thing about it because now a days if you put up a fake tree you're not eco-friendly and if you put up a real tree you are infested with little bugs, especially in Florida. A little too environmentally friendly if I'd say so myself. The pole isn't even decorated because holiday materialism is supposed to be dropped in Festivus.

Next, they have the airing of grievances. This is great in the worst way. At this point you share with everyone how they have disappointed you this year. This could be funny, therapeutic, and also potentially catastrophic. I would suggest treading lightly on this Festivus tradition, but you do you.

I don't understand this next one at all, but it sounds entertaining. It's called the feats of strength where HOH is pinned. It sounds like an episode of big brother holiday style. If you're HOH, don't pull a Paul. Make sure all your alliances know from the get go that you are trying to win big brother Holiday edition. Perhaps you could drop that on them during the airing of grievances. This one could also end catastrophically, but lucky for you it's the 23rd and the ER is still open if the tussle gets rough.

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.

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.
