Ever since I was younger, when asked what my favorite holiday was I would say Thanksgiving. A lot of people would be confused because everyone's favorite holiday is Christmas. Thanksgiving is coming up, and I'm getting so excited! Here are 9 reasons why we should love Thanksgiving!

1. FOOD!

I love food! On this special holiday I eat the best food ever. Nothing beats home cooked meals.

2. The leftovers

We always have leftovers for DAYS! Leftovers are literally my best friend. I bring leftover Thanksgiving to work and to school until it finishes.

3. Guilt free eating

Honestly on this day you can devour as much food as you want and you won't be judged for it. You won't feel bad for overeating because it's a holiday that requires you to eat a lot.

4. No school

Even though we have no classes for a few days, I appreciate it. We need a break from school from time to time.

5. Means the new year is coming

Time sure does fly by. Whenever Thanksgiving passes I then realize the new year is almost here.

6. Family time

Sometimes you only see a lot of your family on this day and it feels good to get together and talk.

Black Friday and Cyber Monday deals!

I don't care what anyone says about Black Friday, I love it! I've been going Black Friday shopping for 11 years now and will never stop going. I get the best deals on this day. Cyber Monday is great too!

Thanksgiving themed episodes of your favorite shows

A lot of my favorite shows have Thanksgiving themed episodes, and those are always great.

9. Being thankful

While you're sitting down with your family, eating your food you'll look around and see how blessed you are. Some people don't have food or family and you have both. You'll feel very thankful for your life.

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.
