Why Thanksgiving Isn't That Great

Just kidding I love it.

Why Thanksgiving Isn't That Great

Thanksgiving is upon us this week which means turkey, pumpkin pie, family, football, and that weird uncle who only shows up to drink beer and yell at the television for four hours.

But sometimes, the food is lacking, and by lacking I mean WHY IS THERE ALWAYS STUFFING! What even is stuffing? Well according to this recipe its just soggy, seasoned, bread.

I don't like stuffing. And maybe I'm the wrong one here but it's just gross. Why would you put soggy bread inside of a raw turkey and then eat it? That's where the heart and stomach and liver used to be and now you are eating the bread soaked in its remnants. GROSS!

There are other foods that turn my Thanksgiving feelings sour, including sweet potatoes, cranberry sauce, and bread that is cold.

But stuffing.... Stuffing is the worst of them all. It always feels weird in my mouth, full of random vegetables that no one eats like celery (seriously, who eats that?). Everyone claims to like stuffing, but I think they are lying. Nothing about stuffing sounds appealing--not the old stale bread, carrots, celery, rosemary, butter, weird turkey or chicken juice that make it up.

Let's not forget that Turkey isn't even that great of a food. Ham is a thousand percent better than turkey can ever hope to be. Ham is sweet and savory; thick and juicy; and tastes way better on its own. Turkey is a dry old bird that people only eat out of obligation for a holiday that was made up by some white people years ago.

Overall, Thanksgiving gets a solid 5/10 on my holiday rating scale. It's up there with Easter or Boxing day. Good thing Christmas starts a the day after Thanksgiving, otherwise I'd have nothing to look forward to.

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.
