I know having a birthday on Thanksgiving every once in while isn't as bad as having a birthday that falls on Christmas every single year, but I'm still going to complain. It only falls on the fourth Thursday once every few years, but it's still a nuisance because it's just close enough to feel the effects of it. So, fellow Scorpio/Sagittarius peeps, let's rejoice in the uniqueness of our birthdays.

1. You *Almost* Never Had To Go To School On Your Birthday

Thanksgiving break and your birthday always matched up, so that even if your birthday wasn't on Thanksgiving, you still weren't taking an AP Macroeconomics test on your birthday.

2. Not Many People Came To Your Birthday Parties

Everyone was either away for the holidays or still in town, but spending the holidays with church and family. So, your birthday was spent partying it up with your family and eating good food.

3. You Have A Say In The Thanksgiving Menu 

Do you love chicken liver dressing that only sometimes gets made? Well, now's the time to cash in on the birthday advantage of requesting that Mama make that special dish you love.

4. Unconventional Birthday Cakes Are Something You're Used To

Sometimes you got that classic birthday cake, whether it was a cookie cake or the OG thing; however, it was not unheard of for your "birthday cake" to be a couple candles stuck into a sweet potato casserole.

5. Combination Gifts

Your birthday is a little too close to Christmas for some people, so you probably get a lot of gifts that's supposed to count as Christmas and birthday presents. Even if it's just a pair of slipper socks.

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.
