Friendsgiving

Sometimes your friends are your only family.

Friendsgiving

Having a Friendsgiving is becoming more and more popular recently for those who typically don't have a very good home life with their family, or if they know people with no good home life. It is something that can truly mean a lot to someone who basically has nowhere to go during this time that you're supposed to spend with your families.

If you are one of those people that are opening your home to others during the times of Thanksgiving or any other holiday for that matter; you truly are a wonderful person and it does mean a lot to a lot of people that you are even willing to do so. I know it's not a traditional setting to do so, as many Friendsgiving's don't have a turkey, but it's showing that despite our traditions we are being wonderful for all those that need it. Sincerely from the bottom of my heart and many others, thank you and have a wonderful thanksgiving.

If you are one of those people that have to attend a Friendsgiving or are not going anywhere for the holiday's because of family issues, know that you are not alone and that there is someone that always cares about you. You may not always be able to see just what they mean to you, or what it is that they are doing, but they love you for the person you are.

In her book, The Year of Yes she states, "I have spent more time with Meredith and Christina then many of my actual friends...When you watched TV, even spending a full hour with Christina once a week, you were likely spending more time with her then you spent with most people in your life. That relationship was real."

Going to the gym and working out on a daily basis (with breaks once in awhile) has been a great way for me to feel good about myself. It is 100% more than just looking good. Especially after starting college and having the stress and anxiety of tests, assignments, and just figuring out my future, the gym at my school has definitely been a place of relief for me and I have numerous reasons of why everyone should push themselves to get to the gym when they can.

Oh college, lovely, lovely college. A four-year time span that is filled with many highs and many lows. Between procrastinating on an essay that is due at midnight to getting your first library card (if you know what I mean), college is a time that you should not take for granted, yet it is also a time where you feel like your entire world is falling apart. It is a time where one day you can feel like you are on top of the world and then the next day you are 500 feet below the ground surface.
