We all need a mid-Fall break in order to get ready for all of the excitement that will be coming with the December holidays. Luckily, Thanksgiving is right around the corner and there is a lot to look forward to and a lot to be thankful for. Here are just some reasons you may be looking forward to this upcoming holiday.

1. The dinner food

The turkey and mashed potatoes and all of the other great food is going to be on the table and we just can't wait to dig in.

2. The Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade

At this point it's just tradition to watch the parade with all of the floats in New York City, and of course see Santa at the end waving to us.

3. Being with family

Sometimes we don't get to see our families everyday, and that's why holidays are so special, so we can spend time with them.

4. Watching football

This has become as much of a tradition as watching the parade.

5. All of the desserts

Just thinking about all of the pies I can eat is so exciting. Might as well just have a slice of all of them.

6. Knowing that if Thanksgiving is here, then there are only a few more weeks of school

If you're in college right now, then you know Thanksgiving break just means that winter break is right around the corner.

7. Knowing that you can start listening to holiday music afterwards

If you're like me you've been listening for a while, but some people don't think it's socially acceptable to listen until after Thanksgiving.

8. The leftover turkey

Think of all you can do with the leftover turkey, there's soup and hot open turkey sandwiches and so much more.

9. Black Friday shopping

Although it's not technically on Friday as much as it is Thursday, it's still so much fun to go shopping to get al of the sales.

10. Being thankful for all that has happened within the past year

There is always something to be thankful for. No matter if it was a good or bad year for year, there is a reason to be thankful for where you are in life.

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.
