The 9 Types of People You'll See At A Formal

Formal season is here. The birds are chirping, the flowers are blooming, and girls are rummaging through their roommate's closet to find a dress, because there's no way they're wearing something they've already been photographed in. You're looking forward to dressing up, making some potentially blurry memories, and instagramming the cutest pics. But of course, you're most excited to see the typical array of characters that are always present at every single formal.

1. The Deep Conversationalist

Watch out for this girl. You compliment her on her dress, and next thing you know, you're sucked into a 40-minute long conversation about the meaning of life. Beware.

2. The Paparazzi

Whether it's of herself, her date, her friends, or even the guy working the bar, this chick is takes pictures like it's her job, and cannot let a single moment go undocumented.

3. The Girl Who Takes a Tumble


Heels are just not this girl's friend. You hate to see it.

4. The Overly PDA Couple

We get it, you're having a great time with your significant other. But like, maybe take it down ten notches?

5. The Crier

Maybe she spilled on her dress or maybe her date's "being such a jerk." Whatever the reason, there's always at least one. And she's usually in the bathroom surrounded by her posse, who are all desperately trying to fix her running mascara.

6. The Sober Monitor

They have to make sure everything runs smoothly. Let's take a moment of silence for them, as they have to soberly deal with all of these hooligans running around. God bless.

7. The Date Who Won't Dance

This guy is the definition of a buzzkill. Like come on dude, you're not cool.

8. The Dancing Queen/King

They start to tear up the dance floor the second they get there, and don't stop until they physically have to get dragged out of the place to leave. They are the life of this party.

9. The Hungry Chick

"Can we get pizza after this? I'm literally starving."

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.
