Being Single During the Holidays, As Told By Tina Fey And Amy Poehler

Being single during the holiday season sucks. Luckily Tina and Amy have our backs.

Preparing yourself for all the annoying questions:


What you want to respond after that nagging aunt asks you, "Where's your significant other at? Oh, right, the future!"


What you actually end up saying, through clenched teeth, of course:


Realizing how much alcohol you need to get through the holidays:


Dancing alone at all the holiday parties:


But then you remember:


When you hear a younger cousin just got engaged:


But your mom gives that look and you change your facial expression:

Trying to find someone to kiss under the mistletoe:


....and New Year's Eve:


Needing to discuss with bae before accepting that party invite:


Seeing high school couples around your hometown:


But realizing you save money during the holidays by not having an S.O.:


All in all, you realize it's not so bad:


...as long as you have an unlimited access to alcohol:

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.

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.

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.
