How To Enjoy Thanksgiving Alone

If you are a part of the small percentage of students who, for some reason, cannot make it home for Thanksgiving, I can help you out! I will be working every day of my Thanksgiving break, so I will not be able to make it home to my parents' place. Here are a few tips on how to enjoy Thanksgiving Day alone.                    

Make sure you are stocked on food. Whether its ramen, pizza rolls, or that healthy food stuff, make sure you have enough, in case you feel like eating your feelings on Thursday.

Beverages. To go along with all this food you will be consuming, you will need beverages. I cannot tell you what to drink, but simply make sure you have enough.

Be a pet sitter for one of your friends. This way you have some cuddly companion to snuggle up with during the day of turkey. Unless it’s a fish.  

Go to the bars (if you are of age) prior to Thanksgiving. You don’t have to drink, but you will find all the lonely souls that are in town with you. Maybe you two can share a beverage and eat your feelings on Thanksgiving Day.

Do not check social media! This might send you into a seasonal depression that not even Ben & Jerry can pull you out of.

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.
