"You can't have Thanksgiving without turkey. That's like the Fourth of July without apple pie or Friday with no two pizzas." ~Joey

Thanksgiving Break As Told By 'Friends'

After a week jam packed with papers and tests, you've finally handed in your last assignment and can finally leave for break! You've been hardly waiting for this moment for weeks now!

It's finally time for you to make your grand entrance as you arrive back at your childhood home.

Which also means you get to see your dog for the first time in what feels like forever!

Once you've settled in and spent a long time telling your dog how much you miss and love him or her, it's time to reunite with all your high school friends you haven't seen since you all left for school in august. The reunion usually goes something like this:

Finally it's Turkey Day! All you can think about is all the delicious food you will soon be able to eat!


The festivities of the day begin bright and early as you wake up to watch Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade. Which ultimately results in you being dragged into the kitchen to help out finishing tonight's dinner. But you don't mind because you always get the 'fun' jobs.

Once the turkey is in the oven and everything else is prepared you sit down with the rest of your family to watch the Thanksgiving Day Game.

Of course your extended family who you haven't seen in months begins to bombard you with questions as you halftime rolls around. How's college? What's your major? What are your plans for the future? Any boyfriend or girlfriend yet? And so on... But you can't just ignore them, so you continue to answer the same questions over and over and over again.

Finally the turkey is done and it's time for dinner! You jump up and run straight for the huge table of food set up in the kitchen. Excited to pile your plate full of all your favorite thanksgiving food!

After you've eaten so much food you never want to move again you find a nice place to relax for a little, maybe even take a quick nap.

Even though your exhausted from the day, you're still pumped to go Black Friday shopping! And the 2am diner run that is always needed to fuel you up for a night of shopping.


Once you get back home, at some ungodly hour in the morning, you're looking forward to going to sleep and getting to spend the next few days at home with your friends and family before you have to go back to school.


HAPPY THANKSGIVING!

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.
