What To Watch: Thanksgiving

Well, folks! Turkey Day is just around the corner and by now your mother is probably already shopping for ingredients for that AMAZING dinner that will most likely put you in a food coma. But while you are regaining consciousness, you might want to watch a little TV along the way. Here are some Thanksgiving episodes/specials that will keep the whole family entertained and laughing come Thursday:

Country Cousins - That's So Raven

Yes, this is not an actual Thanksgiving episode, but it centers around family and putting aside grudges to accept one another. It also helps that it is hilarious! In this two-parter, Raven Simone takes on four different roles, all with the use of some great makeup! She plays herself as Raven, Auntie Faye, Cousin Delroy, and Baby G.

The One With All The Thanksgivings - FRIENDS

Let's face it. Every single Thanksgiving episode of FRIENDS is amazing! But this one is my favorite by far due to its hilarity. In this episode, everyone goes around in Monica's apartment and tells their worst Thanksgiving story. These hilarious flashbacks include Phoebe and her rendition of losing her arms in a past life to Joey getting his head stuck in a turkey! A must see.

Slapsgiving - How I Met Your Mother

Let's face it, Barnie had it coming. In this episdoe, Barnie dreads the slaps expected due to a lost bet with Marshall. Hilarity ensues due to the suspense and pure joy Marshall gets every time he slaps Barnie. And if this episode wasn't enough, it further inspired two more episodes- Slapsgiving 2: Revenge of the Slap and Slapsgiving 3: Slappointment in Slapmarra.

A Charlie Brown Thanksgiving

And finally the classic Charlie Brown Christmas special. Just this alone is considered a family tradition across the country, and there are plenty of reasons why. Snoopy cooking his own version of Thanksgiving dinner warms our hearts, and the messages brought by the children leave us all something to be thankful for.

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.
