One of the reasons I've been so excited for Thanksgiving break is to see my mom. She's my best friend in the whole world! Since being away at college without her is super hard, here are 10 things I'm going to do to make my time back home more special:

1. Have a Movie Marathon Day!

My mom and I both have a Harry Potter obsession, so we already have a movie marathon planned! Plus, all of the Harry Potter movies are coming out on Netflix soon- how cool is that???

2. Go Get Pedicures and Manicures!

Everybody is broke while they're in college, so I haven't been able to splurge on getting a pedicure (nor have I had the time!), so my mom and I are definitely going to have a spa day while I am home for break.

3. Bake Thanksgiving Goodies together!

This is probably my all time favorite thing to do. My mom is always trying a new recipe or baking something super yummy, so I can't wait to be home and try the new dishes she's discovered! Hopefully, I'll learn a few tips and tricks from her this week too.

4. Go Black Friday Shopping together!

If you're anything like me, then you LOVE to shop. And a day dedicated to deals and bargains is right up my alley!!! Spend this day with your mom; you may even be able to grab a few Christmas presents!

5. Decorate Your House for the Holiday Season!

This one should probably wait until the day after Thanksgiving; however, crank up the Christmas carols and start hanging red sparkly ornaments and garland everywhere. My mom has the best taste in holiday decorations, so I can't wait to see what she has in store for this year!

6. Help Her Out Around the House

I know, it's not the most fun thing to do during Thanksgiving break, but she'll appreciate it. Our moms do so much for us, and we should give back to them every once in a while!

7. Give Her A Makeover!

My mom loves letting me practice my hair and makeup skills on her, so this is a super fun way for us to spend time together!

8. Have A Girls Only Date At Your Favorite Restaraunt!

My mom and I both have an undying love for Mexican food, so you can bet that we'll be having a queso date at our favorite Mexican place as soon as I get home.

9. Go On A Vintage Shopping Spree!

This one is a little different than the Black Friday shopping option. Going to the local flea market, antique shops, and vintage stores is so much fun. There are so many cute little trinkets and things you can find, especially around the holiday season. Take your mom, and she is sure to enjoy the Christmas themed antique decorations you can find at vintage stores and flea markets during this time of year.

10. Spend Your Last Day At Home Doing Your Mom's Favorite Things!

Eat her favorite food, watch her favorite movie, lounge around in your PJs and cuddle with your pups. Your mom will appreciate this lazy day full of her favorite things- including 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.
