10 Things You Can Expect to Happen at Thanksgiving Dinner
Territory

We all know there are certain things we can expect to happen EVERY year at Thanksgiving but just in case you come from a family that mixes things up, here's a list for you to understand what the rest of us go through at the Holidays!

#1: If you are single... Everyone will want to know why you are still single.

#2: If you are married... Everyone will want to know when they can expect to see a baby on the way.

#3: You will eat way, way too much food.

#4: Somewhere in the house, the guys will either be talking about hunting or will be watching football. Then again, they may be doing both.

#5: You’ll see your favorite cousin pull in the driveway and totally freak out, whether you’re 10, 29 or 45!

#6: There will be a form of green bean casserole somewhere and it will either be really good or really gross. There is no in between.

#7: Traffic everywhere will be terrible.

#8: Gas prices will be the highest they have been in months.

#9: Black Friday will be the hot topic of all the ladies conversations during and after Thanksgiving dinner (unless they are talking about the single folks and/or the not so pregnant ladies) so, be ready. The best prices of the year are happening when dinner is over.

#10: Someone in your family will post on social media and end their post with, "#thankful" so, be ready for your basic "like" of the day.

Enjoy a laugh and HAPPY THANKSGIVING!

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.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

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.
