Thanksgiving is a holiday that brings up many memories and thankfulness for everyone. It’s just one of the best holidays out there. It’s great to be able to eat a lot and spend a lot of time with family and everyone else. Below I am going to talk about what I am most thankful for.

I am so incredibly thankful for my parents. They are one of the truest things in my life and they are amazing. They have sacrificed so much for me and I can’t think them enough for it. They have done so much for me that I will never be able to repay. I am thankful for everything they have done for me so far and everything that they will do. I am also incredibly thankful that they have always been there for me no matter what. They constantly put up with my crap even when they don’t deserve it, and I can’t thank them enough for that. I am so happy God has given me two amazing parents in my life and I couldn’t imagine living without them. I love both of my parents very much.

I am very thankful for my siblings as well. My sister is one of my best friends in my life and I appreciate everything that she has done for me. We are very close. I also can’t thank her enough for always being there for me no matter. She is amazing and deserves a lot of credit for where I am today. I am thankful for my brother also. While we do fight a lot, I do love him. I know that he will have my back and vice versa, no matter how much we end up arguing. I love both of my siblings so much and I am proud of them both today.

I am also thankful for the rest of my family. I love all my aunts and uncles and all my cousins. Also, my grandparents. They have been there for me since I was little and I can’t thank them enough for that. It’s nice to know that I will always have people who will always have my back. I can’t not appreciate them for everything they have done for my family and I. My family is truly amazing.

I am thankful for my friends as well. From all my friends, back home and all the new ones I have made at college, they are all also amazing. I wouldn’t have been able to make it through life if it wasn’t for all of them too. It’s nice to know that I have many other people that are there for me. It is almost impossible to be alone. From all our laughs and jokes we have shared, I love them all so much.

I am just really thankful for everyone that I have in my life. I thank God every day for blessing me with such a great life. I may have some bad days, but I am so incredibly lucky to have such amazing friends and family members. I really don’t have enough words to describe it. I really couldn’t make it through life without them all. So, while I am thinking about what I am thankful for this Thanksgiving, this is what I am truly thankful for. Thank you, God, for everything. It is such a blessing.

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.
