Thanksgiving Told By Gifs

Food is good. Gravy is good. And my family is crazy.

Sitting in your last class before Thanksgiving Break like...

Waking up and realizing you can eat all day.


You can't contain your excitement for a delicious home-cooked meal over frozen meals and cheap campus food.

When your mom gets overwhelmed while cooking, and all you are trying to do is help.

Realizing that you can't wear sweat pants and have to look semi-decent.


When your family asks, "How's college going?"

Or my personal favorite, "Where's your boyfriend?"

Macy's Thanksgiving Parade makes you relive your childhood.

Entertainment includes: sibling rivalries, grandpa falling asleep in the chair, and inappropriate jokes at the table.

Waiting for the food to get done is torture.

...And then we all race to the kitchen.


Once everyone is seated, it is chow time.


Putting gravy on everything because gravy is life.

Then the food baby reveals itself. Followed by everything hurting and you feeling like you may explode.

When someone tries to pass you the cranberry salad.

Ooooh, and when you see that dessert. Food Baby number two.

Always realizing your family is insane once again.

Football outside and football on TV. FOOTBALL YEAH!

Followed by when you realize school has to start up again...


We all have crazy families. Remember to be thankful for yours, and to always cover your food in gravy. Happy Thanksgiving from me to you!

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.
