The Perks of a Stay-at-Home Thanksgiving

In This Article:

Keeping it small and simple might not be too bad after all

No need to worry about anyone asking you how school is going

Giphy

My professors don't know how to work Zoom and I have not learned a single thing, Aunt Sharon.

Sweatpants are acceptable attire this year

Giphy

No need to look good when you're only traveling to the kitchen and dining room for the day.

No awkward encounters with those relatives you barely know

Giphy

The only things hugging me this Thanksgiving are my mom and my blanket.

You can fall into your food coma in your own bed

Giphy

So much more comfortable than having to share the couch with three other people.

No political arguments with that one relative who you KNOW voted for a certain candidate

Giphy

Let's keep our mouths filled with food, not arguments, for this Thanksgiving.

You won't be forced to eat that suspicious side dish your aunt always brings

Giphy

There may be a smaller selection of sides this year, but at least you'll where they all came from.

The couch can double as the dinner table this year

Giphy

Keep it traditional if you want, but also don't feel bad for prioritizing comfort.

Lastly, you'll be keeping your family safe so you can all celebrate future holidays to come

Giphy

Even if this Thanksgiving may seem weird, at least you will have more bizarre and awkward holiday memories to look forward to in the years to come.

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.
