The 6 Kinds Of Family Members You Only See During The Holidays
bigappled.com

As the holiday season is in full swing so are the endless family parties. These sometimes dreadful gatherings include seeing those relatives that you only have to see once a year. These family members usually include those you can't wait to see every year and those you could maybe go without seeing.

1. The aunt that always slips you a $20

No matter what the occasion, there's always that one aunt that is willing to slip you an extra $20 (after you refuse several times) in order for you to treat yourself this holiday season. "Spend it on yourself."

2. The uncle that always has a little too much to drink

After a few too many beers and some ranting, your uncle usually passes out on the couch and snores for the rest of the night.

3. The annoying little cousin that instagrams too much

Since when do 10 year olds have iphones? They all do now and they're determined to capture every moment of their day and share it with all of their followers (including all of the bad pictures they've taken of you without you knowing).


4. Those cousins you call cousins although you're not really sure how you're related

You greet them with a hug and kiss, but you're not positive of their name and curious as to how they know yours. But i mean hey, they always give you a gift card so you can't really complain right?

5. The grandma that asks too many questions


"How's school? Are you getting good grades? Do you have a boyfriend?" Good, good, and no. Now can we just enjoy this Christmas meal without playing 20 questions?

6. The creepy family friend that isn't actually related to anyone

No they may not be related, but they'll try their hardest to fit in with gang.

Good or bad, you only have to put up with seeing these relatives once a year. Best of luck to everyone!

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.
