Happy Friendsgiving

I'm thankful for all 2 of my friends.

It's that time again, a day to give thanks.

And if you're anything like a lot of people in this world, you unfortunately can't spend Thanksgiving with your family. So you have to spend it with your friends.


And honestly, it's just as nice. Spending a day with your friends that can relate to pretty much everything you're going through? Sure, it's not the same as your grandmother's dressing or your mom's amazing macaroni and cheese. But, it's definitely enough.


This year makes the second Thanksgiving that I haven't been able to spend with my family because of work, and I know that I'm not alone.

I know we'd all to love to listen to our moms complaining that she cooked all of this food for everyone to not be eating as much as she expects them to or watching my brother get his fifth plate of food and wondering where he could possibly be putting it all.


So it's time for Friendsgiving. It's time for all of us to find a day that we're all off (because it definitely won't be on the actual holiday) and come together and eat and give thanks.

It's time for all of us to sign up for what we're going to bring to Friendsgiving (Trust me: no one is going to pay attention to it anyway and they're all just going to bring desserts).


It's time for all of us to discuss the fact that we can't actually be with our families on this particular day but it doesn't matter because these people are family as well. These co-workers, friends of friends, people in the neighborhood all have one thing in common: they all get to be with you on Thanksgiving. And that's pretty much all that matters.

No matter who you're spending it with - whether you're alone, with family, with friends, enjoy this holiday this year and make the best of it.

Happy Thanksgiving!

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.

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.
