Why don't people give thanks to Thanksgiving?

How Underappreciated Thanksgiving Is

The day after Halloween everyone automatically jumps to Christmas. Not that I am against Christmas, but what about Thanksgiving? Thanksgiving is my favorite holiday, and people do not appreciate it as much as they should.

It makes me so mad when people skip over Thanksgiving. It’s a holiday where you get to spend it with your family and eat so much food! Who doesn’t look forward to that? It’s also a time to give thanks for everything, and everyone in your life.

Giving thanks is so important, not just on Thanksgiving, but all the time. The holidays aren’t a time to be receiving gifts or getting new things, it’s about appreciating what you have, and to spend time with your loved ones.

Being away at college has made me appreciate the holidays so much more. Having the opportunity to come home and see your family is just the best feeling ever. I mean, Thanksgiving should also just be everyone’s holiday, because food.

Thinking about all the food I am about to eat with my family is making me so happy. I think people just get too caught up in having to make all the food, and prepare for a huge meal. But, in the end, it is all worth it. You get to talk about old times, make jokes, and eat amazing food.

I love Thanksgiving so much, and I think people should love it just as much as I do. It is a great holiday full of yummy food and all the people that are important to your life.

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.
