Thanksgiving Dinner As Told By Michael Scott
Forbes

We're all excited to go home and see our families and our dogs again. But the first thing that comes to most peoples' minds when hearing the sound of that beautiful holiday said aloud is that plump turkey, those buttery mashed potatoes, the fluffy stuffing. It's a great thing to realize we're all blessed and express those blessings aloud, but we're all suckers for a great Thanksgiving meal, and who better to express this love of food than Michael Scott?


When the turkey comes out of the oven.

Is there any greater excitement than a giant, fresh turkey being brought straight to you? I would say the one exception is Christmas morning. That may be the one thing that trumps food.


When you look around for a seat at the table and realize the only open space is at the kids' table.

Really, Mom? I drove all the way home from college by myself where I live in an apartment and make myself go to class everyday and have a job? This is a disgrace.


When the uncle you see twice a year starts talking to you.

Is there anything more awkward than trying to avoid people at all costs in order to scour some appetizers before the turkey comes out?


When every single family members asks you if you have a boyfriend/girlfriend... again.

Seriously. Just give me my mashed potatoes. They're the only thing that loves me.


When your mom is talking about your grades from all the way across the room.

No, really, Mom, is this necessary?


When your mom says there's not enough leftovers for you to take back to school with you.

But really what am I supposed to eat when I get back? Microwave meals just don't cut it anymore.


When you take the last roll and your five-year-old cousin asks why.

Don't mess with me, little one. I am also in college and have a job and have to buy my own groceries.


But lastly, when you realize the most important thing about this holiday.

Nothing better than seeing your family, taking a break from classes and exams, and eating some delectable pumpkin pie for dessert.

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.
