I'm Australian, so I don't celebrate thanksgiving; but I still think this is a good topic. It's worth keeping in mind the things we're thankful for, since it puts into perspective all the negative things in our life and how insignificant they can be. Anyway, here are the things I'm thankful for this year:
Good friends and family: Always grateful for that, but it...

Social media has had a profound impact on my life. We live in an age where it's gotten easier to keep in touch with people because all you need to do is add them to a Facebook, Instagram or Twitter. I'll break it down by each platform I guess:
Facebook: Allows me to keep it touch with people without having to talk on the...

You know, I've never really thought about this at all. It's so hard to pick one particular food to eat for a "last supper".
Pizza? Sushi? In-N-Out? Mexican? Italian? It'd be so hard to choose.

This one is hard, because it's difficult to pinpoint one thing and say "that's the best part".
Generally speaking, I think I'm a good person.

-The fact that I don't generalise people based on their race, gender, sexual preference or other factors people can't control.
-I think people and the natural environment are more important than money. Without either,...
