Look, I'm all for holiday music. In fact, I would have been perfectly content listening to "The Nightmare Before Christmas" soundtrack on repeat for all of October. I appreciate holidays when it's time to celebrate them, but what I've come to learn is that I can't stand people blaring their Christmas music starting back in August. So while we all enjoy our Thanksgivings here's five albums to tide you over until the actual Christmas season.

1. Taylor Swift - "1989"

"1989" is a solid, fun, and feel-good album. Plus you can't really go wrong with at least one Taylor Swift set.

2. Fall Out Boy - "Mania"

It took me about two seconds of starting this album to fall in love with it. It also helped that I saw them preform some of the songs before the full thing even came out.

3. Kacey Musgraves - "Golden Hour"

I'm not going to lie here - I think I know one song on this album. But my roommate told me to add it and he listens to it all the time so I'm taking his word and assuming it's good.

4. Janelle Monáe - "Dirty Computer"

Not only is the album itself a masterpiece, but it has it's own 48-minute, absolutely stunning, "Emotion Picture" - if you have some time to spare.

5. "Mamma Mia!" and "Mamma Mia! Here We Go Again" Soundtracks

Honestly, I would recommend these soundtracks all year. But if you're really desperate to start belting out songs that most people know the words to they also work for this purpose.

Happy singing and happy almost 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.
