Why I'm Excited For Thanksgiving

Ah, Thanksgiving. In my opinion, a very overlooked holiday. My roommates have been hounding me as I walk around and complain about them decorating for Christmas, when its just barely the week of my favorite holiday of the year. Maybe I am a grinch, but I just don't think it gets better than Thanksgiving.

I'm counting down the minutes until I get to go home and lay around with my family and my dogs and watch Thanksgiving football games, the dog show, and of course, the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade. Stuffing my face with a home cooked meal won't be too bad either.

Just thinking about all the family (arguments) and food (comas) gets me so excited.


All the food that can fit in my tummy:

Don't forget to wear stretchy pants for maximum food consumption.


Unlimited naps with your furrier family members:

It never gets old.


Making drinking games out of everything with your siblings and cousins:

Maybe I'll just tell them I never want to get married and the word commitment is a curse word in my vernacular.


When the infamous turkey tryptophan hits and its time for yet another afternoon nap:

Wake me up in time for pie.


And the best part endless questions from your relatives:

*Tells same college stories over and over again until they go away*


Cheers to family and Thanksgiving, and may the odds of stuffing your face until you pass out, be ever in your favor.

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.
