11 Thoughts You Have While Sitting At The Kids' Table During Thanksgiving Dinner
lifeasmom.com

If you're one of the oldest among your cousins, you might know what it is like to have to sit at the kids' table during Thanksgiving dinner. Here are some experiences that all people in this predicament have probably gone through:

1. Feeling old because you keep getting annoyed over the fact that the kids won't put their cell phones away for five minutes.

2. Thinking about the fact that most of the people at your table weren't even alive when the series finale of "Friends" first aired.

3. Feeling like your mind is going numb because of all the chatter going on at your table about whatever trash is on Disney Channel these days.

4. Getting annoyed that the kids at your table will never know the wonders of Disney shows like "Lizzie McGuire" and "Even Stevens."

5. Dealing with the annoying "fun uncle" who chooses to sit at the kids' table because he thinks it's ironic and funny (FYI: it's not).

6. Worrying that you're going to be put at the kids' table for the rest of your life, even when you're a 40 year old with a mortgage and back problems.


7. Wishing you had access to booze to numb the pain of having to listen to all the baby talk going on around you.

8. Having to go around for the rest of the day with a giant gravy stain on your shirt after your little cousin spills it on you.

9. Counting down the hours to your family's annual Thanksgiving touch football game, during which you can let out all the pent up aggression you have from your experiences at the kids' table.

10. Wondering where the public school system went wrong with the kids at your table.

11. Worrying about the future of humanity after listening in on all the weird conversations going on at your table.

A three-and-a-half-hour runtime. Nine Eras. Eleven outfit changes. Three surprise songs. Zero breaks. One unforgettable evening. In the past century, no other performer has put on an electric performance quite like Taylor Swift, surpassing her fans ‘wildest dreams’. It is the reason supporters keep coming back to her shows each year. Days later, I’m still in awe of the spectacle ‘Miss Americana’ puts on every few days in a new city. And, like one of Taylor’s exes, has me smiling as I reminisce about the memories of the night we spent together.

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.
