Nobody knows it better.

It's that time of year again. Turkey, stuffing, mashed potatoes, and pumpkin pie coming your way, and nobody understands the ups and downs of Thanksgiving better than Leslie Knope and her friends. Happy Thanksgiving from the cast of "Parks and Recreation"!

You wake up to the smell of firewood burning and coffee brewing. IT'S THANKSGIVING!

You walk downstairs to see your family getting ready to prepare the food.

Your mom asks you to help, but you're really not that into it, so you pretend not to hear her and go into the living room.

The Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade is on!

You watch it for five minutes and realize that it's boring and that's why you've never sat through the whole thing.


The turkey is in the oven, and the whole house smells like happiness.

You start to get bored because everyone is in the kitchen making dinner, and there are no snacks available to you.

Football is on, which means that you're either super excited or super underwhelmed. But you're still waiting for food, so you're frustrated either way.

If you're of age, you start drinking because there is nothing else to do, and if you're not, you find the remnants of the Halloween candy to tide you over until it's time to eat.

Your mom calls you into the kitchen and asks you to taste the turkey before she is ready to start carving.

You taste it. It's perfect, and you're ready to eat.

You go change your clothes, so you look as nice as your relatives, and descend into the dining room, feeling incredible.

FINALLY, it's time to eat. You gorge yourself on all of your favorite Thanksgiving dishes until you can't eat anymore.

Except pie.

And then, you slowly fall asleep wherever you sit down next.

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.
