In This Article:

Never in my 21 years on this earth have I heard anyone claim that the turkey is their favorite thing about Thanksgiving. If it is, you're probably in the 1% of people on earth that think so. Just saying. So why is turkey the worst part of Thanksgiving? Here are 25 reasons.

It Takes Forever To Cook

I'm hungry and you're going to be in the oven for 5 hours? Seriously??

It's A Giant Bird

The idea alone makes me want to become a vegetarian.

Carving it takes time too

The clock is still ticking. I'm still hungry.

It's Just A Giant Piece Of Meat

What's so great about it?? Let me know.

It Always Has The Most Leftover

Because most people don't go back for seconds...

Literally Everything On The Table Is Better

Everything.

Mashed Potatoes Are Better

If you don't like potatoes, you're wrong.

Stuffing Is Better

But not the kind that goes in the actual bird... *gags*

Sweet Potatoes Are Better

With or without marshmallows, roasted, mashed, fried. Still better.

Cranberry Sauce Is Better

Giphy

And I don't even like cranberry sauce.

Broccoli Cheese Casserole Is Better

If you tried it, you'd agree. It's a family staple.

Green Beans Are Better

Eat your greens.

Salad Is Better

Again. EAT. YOUR. GREENS.

Brussel Sprouts Are Better

Coming from me, that says a lot.

Dinner Roles Are Better

Bread. Duh.

Mac and Cheese Is Better

Again, duh.

Gravy Is Better

NO IT DOESN'T HAVE TO GO ON THE TURKEY.

Corn Bread Is Better

It totally counts as a vegetable.

Snickerdoodles Cookies Are Better

Giphy

I only make these around the holidays and they are 10/10

Pumpkin Pie Is Better

The official mascot of thanksgiving dinner.

Apple Pie Is Better

Giphy

A personal favorite.

Chocolate Creme Pie Is Better

Chocolate is always better. Always.

Pecan Pie Is Better

Honestly I can't vouch for this one but I bet I would still enjoy it more than a giant bird.

All The Pies Are Better

Facts.

I Repeat. IT'S JUST A GIANT BIRD. 

Giphy

In case you forgot. *shrugs shoulders*

Maybe Thanksgiving isn't REALLY all about the turkey... but I'm still sticking with the fact that Thanksgiving could go without it. Oh well. Have a happy thanksgiving!

Taylor Swift's Eras Tour is What I Hope Heaven Feels Like

By: James McDonald

A three-and-a-half-hour runtime. Nine Eras. Eleven outfit changes. Three surprise songs. Zero breaks. One unforgettable evening. In the past century, no other performer has put on an electric performance quite like Taylor Swift, surpassing her fans ‘wildest dreams’. It is the reason supporters keep coming back to her shows each year. Days later, I’m still in awe of the spectacle ‘Miss Americana’ puts on every few days in a new city. And, like one of Taylor’s exes, has me smiling as I reminisce about the memories of the night we spent together.

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.

Why Your Astrological Sign May Not Match Your Personality

We are all more than just one sign.

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.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

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.
