The Forgotten Holiday

Thanksgiving is the most underrated holiday

The Forgotten Holiday
The Original Thanksgiving

With the holiday’s being around the corner, it is only normal to talk about the most underrated holiday there is; Thanksgiving. The Christmas hype is already happening, and it is extremely common for people to forget about the wonderful holiday that comes before it. Where ever you go, there is constant reminders that Christmas is coming; in the malls, on TV, or even in school. With the Christmas season being shoved down our throats every day, it becomes easy for everyone to forget about Thanksgiving. In my opinion, Thanksgiving is the best holiday.

1. Family

Thanksgiving is a time where family comes together. This day is to celebrate what you’re thankful for. Family that you probably haven’t seen since last year, comes together to pretty much get drunk off of wine, and shove food down their throats. How can anybody be sad on a day like that?

2. Food

Food is by far the best part of Thanksgiving. There is constant selections of endless turkey, sweet potatoes, green beans, stuffing, and mashed potatoes. That’s not the end of it though. There is apple, pumpkin, blueberry, pecan, and chocolate pie. This is a day where you can eat whatever you want, and how much you want without feeling guilty or being judged.

3. Food Coma

Of course after you eat, there is the following three hours of a food coma that you fall into, which is the best nap of the year. Every year I look forward to this nap. You get to pass out, full of delicious food, and wake up ready for more!

4. Being Thankful

Every day of the year you should be thankful for those whom surround you, but Thanksgiving is a day that really brings those feelings to light. It is a day to realize how grateful you really are. You’re surrounded by loved ones, and it is a time to be happy, and stress-free.

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.
