11 Things I'm Hella Grateful For On Thanksgiving

In This Article:

Ah, Thanksgiving...a day of food, family, and football. What better way to celebrate than to think about what really matters in this awesome day.

1. Food

Aaaaaaand if you're as lucky as me, you get to go to multiple houses and get twice the amount of food. That's not even counting the days of leftovers you get to enjoy!

2. Gravy

This amazing wonder truly deserves its own separate category from food.

3. Family

Mara Hashuga

Aside from the snarky comments about what you're doing with your life, it can be pretty fun to be with your entire family, especially the cousins who are as cool as you.

4. Football!

Between the rounds of your meals, everyone is in the living room enjoy a good game.

5. Making Black Friday plans with the previously mentioned cool cousins 

What's more fun, the cheap prices or just goofing around in a store at 3am?

6. The Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade

Seriously though, some of the floats are pretty awesome.

7. A nice week long vacation

Not as permanent as Christmas where you don't see your friends for a month, but a nice little break from essays and calculus.

8. A good nap after stuffing yourself with, well, stuffing.

What feels better than a nice nap in your cozy bed after eating everything in sight?

9. Listening to your family argue about politics

Wow! Dinner and a show....until they drag you into it.

10. Pie

Pumpkin, Apple, Custard, oh the choices!

11. You can FINALLY start your countdown to Christmas without all the judgement.

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.
