Thanksgiving will always be my favorite holiday. It has all the same great qualities of Christmas, without all the focus on presents and toys. I love the cooking and preparation, I love the sound of the Macy's parade and the dog show. Thanksgiving is a holiday that we all can agree on. There is no fighting about Happy Holidays or Merry Christmas. Thanksgiving is kind of perfect.

Thank you, Thanksgiving

Thank you for being a less stressful holiday than Christmas.

Thank you for being less expensive.

Thank you for having all the same great food but less of the present disappointment. (We all know we did NOT want all those strange sweaters.)

Thank you for being a day that we all agree on celebrating.

Thank you for being a small break that feels balanced.

Thank you for bringing my family together.

Thank you for taking up less time than Christmas.

Thank you for the Ukanuba Dog show because that thing is awesome.

Thank you for happening before it gets too cold.

Thank you for just being one day, but many meals (bring on the Tupperware).

Thank you for all the fond memories, thank you for the future memories.

Thank you for reminding us all that we can find at least one thing to be thankful for.

Thank you for giving me more time to study for finals.

Thank you for being Thanksgiving, because without you, America could not be the America we all know.

Thank you Thanksgiving, keep doing great things.

And from that friendship, you may even find yourself lucky enough to have a few more friends, thus forming a group. Here are just a few signs that prove your current friend group is the ultimate friend group.

When it comes to television, there’s very few sets of on-screen siblings that a lot of us can relate to. Only those who have grown up with siblings knows what it feels like to fight, prank, and love a sibling. Ross and Monica Geller were definitely overbearing and overshared some things through the series of "Friends," but they captured perfectly what real siblings feel in real life. Some of their antics were funny, some were a little weird but all of them are completely relatable to brothers and sisters everywhere.

College is a great place to meet people, especially through Greek life. If you look closely at sororities, you'll quickly see there are many different types of girls you will meet.

1. The Legacy.

Her sister was a member, her mom was a member, all of her aunts were members, and her grandma was a member. She has been waiting her whole life to wear these letters and cried hysterically on bid day. Although she can act entitled at times, you can bet she is one of the most enthusiastic sisters.

Every kid in college and/or high school dreams of summer the moment they walk through the door on the first day back in September. It becomes harder and harder to focus in classes and while doing assignments as the days get closer. The winter has been lagging, the days are short and dark, and no one is quite themselves due to lack of energy and sunlight. Let's face it: life is ten times better in the summertime.
