What I love about Thanksgiving

Thanksgiving is such a wonderful time and I would like to tell you about my favorite things involving Thanksgiving!

Spending time with Family is by far my favorite thing about Thanksgiving, as a college student who is very close to my family, I cherish the moments I get to spend time with them. Around the holidays you get to see your family members that you do not get to see as often whether that is due to distance or whatever. You get to catch them up about your life and what is going on with you

With spending time with your family comes along with being surrounded by love. My family whenever we are together you can feel the love all around us, however, with that being said we are just like every other family and we have our fair share of family drama. Something about the holidays tends to bring out family drama.

FOOD!!!! For this one should I even say more, between eating turkey, stuffing, mac and cheese, and whatever else, thanksgiving food is always one of my favorite things about Thanksgiving. I love the feeling of going into a self-induced food coma after you physically cannot eat anymore. The nap after Thanksgiving dinner always seems to be the best nap of the year, I mean come on how could you not nap the best after a full stomach.

Thanksgiving is always a time to really remember what all you are thankful for. I like this because sometimes with day to day life the things you are thankful for falls to the back of your mind and you do not really think about it. However, with Thanksgiving you get a chance to celebrate everything you are thankful for and even if it's for one day of the year you give thanks.

I just really wanted to give thanksgiving food another shout out because it is just so delicious.

I really love shopping on Black Friday, I like most people completely get the irony of spending a whole day giving thanks just to turn around the next day and spend so much money on materialistic things. For me personally, I do not agree with going on Thursday during the day, but I love to shop around 12 in the morning throughout the day on Friday.

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.
