Thanksgiving Dinner As Told By Ron Swanson

Thanksgiving is a time for family, a time for giving thanks, and a time for-- oh who are we kidding, Thanksgiving is a time for FOOD. If we're being honest, you're really not that excited to see your weird second cousins from down south. All you want is to stuff your face with potatoes and pie. Possibly the only person that enjoys a hearty meal more than you or me, is Ron Swanson. So, without further ado, enjoy this timeline of Thanksgiving dinner, as told by our very own Ron Swanson.

Your mom calls you out of hiding to come downstairs

Can we stop mingling with annoying cousins and drunk aunts and just eat already?


Getting called to dinner

FINALLY!


Waiting for everyone to be seated so you can eat

You're so excited for sweet potato casserole you can barely stand it.


The food starts getting passed around, but all you want is the turkey

You refuse to be distracted with wimpy appetizers. Bring on the meat!


The younger cousins are being way too picky

They don't like the stuffing? More for you!


You grandmother tries to make sure you're eating your vegetables

Who brought broccoli to Thanksgiving dinner anyway?


...three helpings of food later..

You've eaten about twice your body weight in food and couldn't feel more fantastic.


"You should try the mincemeat pie!"

Everyone knows that apple pie and pumpkin pie are the best.


As you're laying on the couch in a food coma, unable to move

Never mind the fact that none of your clothes will fit for the next few days, it was all worth it.

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.
