Thanksgiving is a time to reflect on what you are thankful for. It's a time when family gathers around a table for hours on end discussing what's on their minds while eating endless amounts of turkey and mashed potatoes. But most importantly, its a time to celebrate the good things in life and try to do more good for the community around you. This Thanksgiving, I am thankful for:

My parents, who bust their behinds to provide everything they can for me. Their support and love is endless and I would be nowhere in life if it wasn't for their guidance.

My pets, who provide comfort to me when I'm sad or hurting, and who also give me tons of cuddles and kisses when I need them.

My extended family, who give me the perfect balance of sanity and craziness in one.

My angels in the sky, who watch over me and keep me safe along all the paths I cross in my lifetime.

My boyfriend, who loves me unconditionally, who knows how to turn all my frowns upside down and who gives me all the support and love he can give.

My boyfriend's family, who are like a second home to me. With open arms they are always there to listen to and love me like their own.

My job, that allows me to see the benefit of good work ethic and helps me support myself living on my own.

My roommates, who have quickly turned into sisters.

My education, which provides a future for me.

Lastly, my faith, which shows me a light in all the dark tunnels I travel down. It keeps me grounded and helps me be a better version of myself.


This Thanksgiving, make sure you give thanks for all the good in your life and strive to make next year an even better year.

Happy 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.
