3 Ways To Avoid Answering Those Annoying Questions At Thanksgiving
WIkipedia

The holidays can be hard, especially when you get together with all of those relatives that you never talk to because you hate them, or you just never talk to them, whatever. I've compiled some helpful hints to help get you through this holiday season without having to tell your entire life story to all of your annoying relatives and you can enjoy your meals in peace.

1) Deflect and/or Insult

The ever famous "Thanksgiving clap back" is the easiest and most effective way to avoid answering those questions. These can be tricky, however, because the opportunity has to present itself. You can't force a clap back on your aunt for asking if you want more potatoes. If you can't insult based off of the question asked, just deflect it by asking another question or asking the person next to you the same question.

2) Take a huge bite of food and chew slowly

Do this in the hopes that someone will strike up a conversation and the question-asker will get distracted and forget they ever asked, or get distracted long enough that you can leave and eat your dinner in the bathroom.

3) Die

This is the only sure fire way to never have to answer questions from relatives during Thanksgiving again. Also, thank you to Fiona's father for properly showing how to die.

May the odds be ever in your favor.

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.
