What Your Favorite Thanksgiving Food Says About You
International Business Times

It feels like just yesterday that you were wearing shorts and a t-shirt, sitting around a bonfire on a hot summer night, and trying not to get eaten alive by mosquitoes. Well, somehow, we skipped past September and October, and Thanksgiving is upon us. While the day is meant for cherishing your loved ones and all that you are thankful for, a big part of it is the food. Families, friends, and even strangers gather together all around the world to sit down and eat. While I realize Thanksgiving meals do not look the same for everybody, there are a few basic foods that tend to show up on the majority of tables.

There's always that one dish that you look forward to more than any of the others. In case you have ever wondered what that favorite dish says about you as a person (as I'm sure most of you have), I'm here to provide you with an in-depth analysis of how your favorite Thanksgiving food and your soul are correlated. (Please note the extreme level of sarcasm and lack of knowledge in these analyses).


1. Turkey

You don't need any of the extras in your life. If you've got the basics, you're set. You have no need for any fancy things!

2. Vegetables

If out of all of the choices on the Thanksgiving table you're choosing the vegetables, you've gotta be a health nut. Somehow you've tricked your mind into thinking what's good for you is your "favorite."

3. Mashed potatoes

You are a fan of familiarity and comfort. You are also the type of person that enjoys a bowl of mac and cheese or a chicken pot pie.

4. Cranberry sauce

Nope. Stop it. No one's favorite is the cranberry sauce. If you say cranberry sauce is your favorite Thanksgiving dish, then the type of person that you are is a dishonest one.

5. Rolls

You appreciate the simple things in life. You're also the type of person who, when looking for a snack, could grab a piece of bread and be happy.

6. Wine

You have a tough time dealing with family around the holiday season. Or, you're just really smart because wine is delicious.

7. Pie

You have a child-like spirit. The best part of any meal for you is the dessert. You also like jumping off of swing sets, petting every dog you see, and picking dandelions.

8. Stuffing

You are unique. Your personality is a mix of many different traits. You can sometimes be hard to please unless you are good with the boxed stuffing, then you're very easy to please.

9. Yams

You don't necessarily like to be part of the crowd. You're a little alternative and tend to march to the beat of your own drum.

10. Gravy

You're one of those people who slathers ketchup on everything. You don't actually like any of the dishes at Thanksgiving, so you just cover everything up with the flavor of gravy.

So, there you have it. After extensive research, I was able to match up 10 key personality types with their favorite Thanksgiving foods. If your favorite food wasn't even part of this list, then congratulations, you're probably Divergent.

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.
