Thanksgiving Dinner with Parks and Recreation

These iconic characters celebrate Thanksgiving

If someone asked me how many times I've watched every season of Parks and Recreation, I'd have to lie and say twice. However, it's more like four or five times, if I answered honestly. So since I have a bit of an obsession, I decided to enable it even more by writing about what our beloved characters would do on Thanksgiving Day!

1. First of all, Leslie would throw the biggest Thanksgiving Day party for the Parks and Rec team.

Most likely, she'd begin with a speech about what Thanksgiving meant to America and then go on to open a slideshow she created just for the occasion until someone finally stopped her so they could begin eating.

2. Tom would be dressed to the nines and worry about staining his clothes while taking perfect, Instagrammable pictures of his food.

Because we all want to follow Tom Haverford on Instagram.

3. Of course, Jerry and Gayle would show up in matching Thanksgiving themed outfits.

The cutest couple besides Leslie and Ben, to be honest.

4. Ben would be sitting next to Leslie, eating a Thanksgiving version of a calzone that she made just for him.

Hopefully, this one wouldn't betray him.

5. April would be in Andy's lap, whining about being at the Thanksgiving party while Andy would investigate the missing Turkey slices from his plate as Bert Macklin.

Of course, the turkey would be eaten off his plate by Champion.

6. In order to stay in top physical shape, Chris would have brought his own healthier versions of stuffing, cornbread, and other Thanksgiving delicacies, which no one would eat.

After dinner, Chris would probably run a few miles just for fun.

7. Meanwhile, Ron would pile his plate high with the turkey that he cooked while opening up a new bottle of Lagavulin and glaring at Chris' healthy plate.

Also, there'd be zero vegetables whatsoever.

8. Donna would be dressed to impress while planning her and Tom's next Treat Yo Self outing.

She'd also talk about the latest Scandal episode while live tweeting the dinner activities.

9. Finally, Ann would be next to Leslie, keeping her from consuming an unhealthy amount Thanksgiving waffles (pumpkin spice waffles from JJ's Diner).

Thank god for Ann.

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.

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

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.
