12 Reason I Hate Having My Birthday During Thanksgiving

If you are like many who were conceived during that special Holiday in the month of February, and no I am not talking about President's Day, then you were probably born in the month of November. But even more so, you were probably born very close to Thanksgiving. In fact your birthday might be on Thanksgiving some years. While it is a time for really good food, friends and family, and a time to be extra thankful, it sucks when your birthday is during the Holiday.

1. No one remembers about your birthday

It's my party and I'll cry if I want to is so real when you are a "Thanksgiving baby". Having a party and not a lot of people show up throughout the years is a real struggle.

2. Some people eat to much turkey and sleep through your birthday

Science has proven that eating Turkey releases a chemical that makes you tired. So on Thanksgiving and afterwards when everyone has it for leftovers, you may be ditched because of a full-belly sleepy-head.

3. No one buys you a gift because they are waiting for Black Friday

Gotta buy a bunch of stuff with all the crazies. No room for birthday gifts.

4. Black Friday in general

But seriously? Would you rather go shopping in a mad city or go to a party and have free food and cake?

5. Or Cyber Monday

Same thing as Black Friday, except on Monday and the internet.

6. There are pies instead cake

Love pies, but birthday is meant for cake!

7. Everyone is gone on vacation

All of your friends are gone doing something awesome.

8. Or they are with their families

If they aren't on vacation they are here.

9. School is out

The one time I want to go to school is on my birthday. Everyone really appreciates you and makes you feel special on your birthday.

10. Instead of "Happy Birthday" on your Facebook wall, people just post "Happy Thanksgiving" instead

...it's my birthday too...

11. A lot of other people have their birthdays at or around the same time.

Since a lot of people do their thing on Valentines Day, unfortunately we all have to share our birthdays. Therefore fight over who will be at your party that is at the same time and same place.

12. Your birthday is fairly close to Christmas so less stuff.

Family members: "this is a combined birthday and Christmas present." THE WORST!

On the Upper East Side, Blair Waldorf is an icon. She's what every girl aspires to be. She's beautiful, confident, and can handle any obstacle that life throws at her. Sure, she may just be a television character. But for me, she's a role model and theres a lot that can be learned from Queen B.

The Perks of Being a Girl

“I just want you to know that you’re very special… and the only reason I’m telling you is that I don’t know if anyone else ever has.”

As frustrating and annoying as it can be, being a girl is really awesome. We are beautiful inside and out. Not a lot of people may see that, but girls have a ton of amazing qualities.

We have unique flirting skills.

Us girls have a significant way to flirt with other people. Even when we say the most random or awkward things, we have a way of making everything sound cute and planned. It’s just a gift; we’re good like that.

We Heart It

Over the past decade, television has undergone a very crucial transition: the incorporation of female lead characters. Since it's a known fact that girls actually do run the world (Beyonce said so herself), it's time for the leading ladies of the small screen to get some credit. Without these characters, women would still be sitting in the background of our favorite shows. These women are not only trailblazers for female empowerment, but role models for women worldwide. With that, here are 15 of the smartest, sassiest ladies gracing our screens that remind us that women do, indeed, rule:
