Thanksgiving is coming up! Thanksgiving is one of my favorite holidays. Thanksgiving kicks off the holiday season and marks the time of year where it become socially acceptable to listen to Christmas music. So, with that I've compiled a list of 5 things that I am thankful for.

1. I am thankful this semester is almost over

This semester has been extremely tough. It seems as though I could do homework until my brain explodes and will still have assignments to study for or to complete. I am ready to go home for Thanksgiving break and finally catch up on work so for once I can go to sleep without feeling guilty about neglecting one assignment for the other. I am ready for a new set of classes next semester and to be learning about new topics.

2. I am thankful thankful this election is over

This election was emotional for most people. It was also disappointing for most people. This being said, we can now facilitate the process of accepting the results and moving forward with our lives. I am thankful this election is over because it has led to several humor memes and gag gifts which have lightened my mood little bit.

3. I am thankful for my family and friends

My family has been going through a lot lately. There have been some extremely stressful and heartbreaking events going on and I am thankful that my family has been able to stay strong and support each other. I am thankful that this year I've made friends that I really appreciate and who really appreciate me as well.

4. I am thankful for Black Friday sales

Being a college student trying to save money means that Black Friday sales are calling my name. I can't wait to see what deals are happening and what I can buy for holiday gifts.

5. I am thankful for Netflix

Without Netflix, I would never her able to justify my procrastination. I am thankful to Netflix for all of my late night binge-watching and addictions.

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.
