Instead Of Valentine's Day Let's Just Have Second Thanksgiving

Because chocolate and flowers are overrated and over priced.

Single or not, I've always thought that Valentine's Day is overrated. Like, who even decided that couples needed an entire day to show the world that they love each other? I don't want to see all that extra PDA when I'm trying to go about my daily life or all those extra posts while scrolling through my social media.

Don't get me wrong, I'm all for showing the person you're with that you love and care about them, but the idea of Valentine's Day just makes everyone who is single feel left out. That's why this year we should have a second Thanksgiving instead.

Hopefully, these seven reasons will convince some people.

1. Everyone is involved.

Unlike the traditional Valentine's day where it is just couples who celebrate, everyone is involved and gets to celebrate in Second Thanksgiving.

2. You don't have to go to an expensive restaurant.

With Second Thanksgiving, you can spend less money and have an entire feast.

3. You don't have to dress up.

You can have family and friends over and you all can be in your pajamas.

4. The food and dessert is better than anything you can get going out.

Nothing beats a home cooked meal or a dessert thats been baked at home.

5. You're almost celebrating the same thing.

Valentine's Day you're celebrating your love for the person you're with. But you can celebrate how thankful you are for them and how thankful you are that you're together and that they're in your love, with Second Thanksgiving. Plus, you can celebrate that with friends and family too.

6. You don't have to buy fancy chocolates and flowers.

Lets be real, both of those things are way over priced and you're just gonna eat the chocolates in one sitting and the flowers are just going to die.

7. You won't bother anyone with all the extra PDA.

Yuck.

I feel like I could go on forever but I think I've made my point pretty clear. Now, you all have a few weeks to get your friends and family together for Second 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.

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.
