Thanksgiving, the day we've all been starving for. A day devoted entirely to eating. Sure, the popular Netflix show "Big Mouth" cares more about sex and hormones, but we all can relate to how hungry our hormones can make us.

We know Coach Steve will be celebrating his Thanksgiving on the Diaper Barge, while Jay begs his mom to provide him with some sort of cooked meal, and Mori might even be nice to Andrew this time and let him fully enjoy his meal before giving him a random boner.

So let's enjoy Thanksgiving just like Nick and Andrew would: feeling stuffed.

The morning of the big day

It's dark and cold and early morning, but through your crusted eyes, you know that it's Thanksgiving. If you're a weird one, you go run in a Turkey Trot first thing in the morning, but if you're normal, you sleep in until you can smell food cooking.

Watching the Thanksgiving Day Parade

Whether your parents dragged you out of bed to watch it, or your siblings just *have* to see Charlie brown kick the giant football, the Macy's Thanksgiving Parade isn't such a bad way to kick off your day.

Greeting the family

Family shows up, and you have that one aunt that just can't stop leaving lipstick prints on your face and going on about how big you've gotten. You never know if she means height or weight, but you shudder nonetheless.

Hanging out with your favorite cousin

There's a reason they're your favorite cousin, Maybe it's the stuff you get yourselves into, or the lack of time you actually get to spend with one another, but linking up with them makes this holiday even better. You can consider the actual food as a bonus.

Talking to the older relatives

We all have that one bitter relative that can't ever seem to be proud of you for anything. They'll compare you to another family member, your achievements overshadowed by the others. You'll always be a failure to them. But hey, at least they brought over some dessert.

Watching and playing football

Whether you're playing in your own Turkey Bowl or watching some football on TV, it's a tradition to enjoy as much football as possible before you pig out. It's also great to have on in the background while you nap before the big meal.

Finally drinking with family

Someone decides it's finally acceptable for you to drink with the family, so you have to pretend that it's your first time drinking and you aren't just about to offer everyone a Y-Bomb. You've got this under control, though. I'm sure grandma is very proud of you for shotgunning a beer in under 5 seconds.

Chowing down

The time is now. The turkey is laid out on the table, looking just so plump, and you know you're going to eat until you're sick. But this is what Thanksgiving is all about. Gluttony, over-stuffing ourselves, and something about being thankful.

The food coma

The food coma hits harder than a hangover, and you're certain you won't be able to button your pants again. It was such an experience, both physically and emotionally, that you're in pure bliss. So beautiful, in fact, that you can't wait to do it all again the next day.

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.
