2017 is almost upon us! Time surely flies, and everyone around you is running to get the champagne and pizza. They're making sure the cable is working, because you don't want to miss the ball drop this year. There are some people that just never get old, so with that—let's go through the top 10 types of people you are bound to see at every New Year's Eve party. (Warning: The jokes written below aren't directed towards anybody. It's just for fun and games!)

1. The Insta-Everything

This person is EVERYWHERE. With there phone. On Instagram. Taking photos of everyone and everything they see. Just selfies upon selfies. Yeah, #nofilter? #2k16? #theendisnear? More like #stop? They're documenting the whole night, and making sure the whole world knows about it. So the next morning when you check your instagram, you see that you're tagged to literally 100 posts. Then begins the process of liking and commenting on them because you know, you can't ignore a post that you've been tagged in. It's the rules of instagramming. Duh.

2. The Emotional Mess

"OMG! Do you remember the time when we...." No. I don't. And even if I do, why are you bringing it up? Can't you just enjoy the last couple of hours of 2016 instead of bringing up that one time I set a knife on fire? Moving on. The emotional mess is the nostalgic one that will be seen in tears during the actual countdown. Just bringing back memories, whether good or bad. This person isn't necessarily bad; they just make you feel really really old. So it does get annoying at one point. So sure, we can reminisce some good memories, but let's also live in the moment.

3. The Secretary

You know those cliche TV shows where the Boss's secretary is running around in her dress with her clipboard and pen? Yeah, that person is the Secretary. And you can also find her at the New Years Party If you have any questions, hit this person up. When is the pizza coming? Could I have some champagne? Where is the bathroom? And most of the time, this person isn't even the actual host of the party. She's the overachiever. We should appreciate everything that she does during the last few hours of the year, but let's be honest—everyone is too busy dancing.

4. The 'I Think I Can Dance'

It is very rarely when someone actually amazing at dancing comes onto the dance floor. But at every New Year's party you can always find the person who thinks that they're the ONE! The ones that think that they can breakdance, but reality is that they're probably breaking their bones. But we still support them, because we only have a couple hours left before we go back to our regular lives, so why not?

5. The Alcohol Artist

Now every adult likes to have something to drink at the party. No need to fear, Superman is here! The Superman of every New Year's party is not the Secretary, but the alcohol artist. This person makes sure that there are drinks to go around for days. And why are they an artist? Because any drink, any type of wine from any age—they will have it. The finest wines from Italy. The tastiest champagnes from France. They have it all. They are the Picasso of alcohol, and any drinker is forever bound to the alcohol artist.

6. The Fetus

We all know that one person who just CANNOT STAY UP TILL 12:00. It's practically impossible. They're like a fetus, having to go to sleep at exactly 8:00, because that's their daily routine. Even on the one night of the year where your life is passing before your eyes, this person can be found passed out at 8:01 on the couch.

7. The Bomb-Dot-Com

Okay, the bomb-dot-com can be male or female. They are the people who put so much effort into how they look, they could be crowned Prom King or Queen. For a women, this person is probably wearing the sparkliest of all dresses, her makeup is all done, and her nails are on point. If this is a man, he's wearing a tuxedo, with his hair gelled back, and his cuffs are buttoned up. They are the definition of looking bomb, and the definition of goals. Most people every year hope to be the bomb-dot-com of their party, but there's always that one same person,who tops it off every single time.

8. The Couchers

These adults are usually in charge of watching the kids who have been placed on the couch so their parents can be irresponsible for one night of the year. But the couchers are considered lucky, because when the time comes to gather for the ball drop, the couchers have front-row seats to the TV.

9. The Antisocial

There's always that one person who's usually holding a glass of wine, standing in the corner with their phone. Not talking to anyone, having no interest in what's going on around them, holding a fake smile. They have obviously been forced here, either by their spouse or their friends or their boy/girlfriend. Whatever the case is, they don't want to be there. They would much rather be at home watching Netflix alone. Honestly, that doesn't seem like that bad of an idea.

10. The Hyped-Up One

This person is hyped up. For every single hour of the party. Starting from 6:00 in the evening to 5:00 in the morning. They are always hyped. They're dancing, laughing, and literally so excited for the New Year.

And this should be everyone on New Year's. You can be any of the above, but you should also be the Hyped-Up one. It's a new start! New slate in a new year. New chances, new memories, new adventures. While 2016 had some great memories, it's time to start anew. Happy New Year's everyone! And Happy 2017!

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.
