The 10 Types Of People You See At Formals

1. The "Life Of The Party"

This is the person who is on the dance floor all night. They're requesting songs, dancing their hearts out and just having fun!

2. The "Manager"

This is the person who is all across the room straightening table cloths, bringing out more food, making sure everyone is having fun. This is normally the person in charge, but there's a few others who can fit in this category!

3. The "Sit and Stay"

Just like the title says, this person finds their "spot" and stays here all night. Whether it's a bar stool or a place at the table, you can almost guarantee this person will be in that spot until the event is over.

4. The "Sloppy"...

Everyone knows the kind of person I'm talking about. Let's leave it at that.

5. The "DJ"

Even if it's not their job, these are the kind of people that want to request a song for every song.

6. The "Photographer/Instagramer"

Location: formal. Caption: on point. Picture: 1 of 382758291 to be posted in the next week, and then again for throwbacks.

7. The "Snapchat Star"

You can see the entire formal event on this person's story. You feel like you were there because you saw so many videos of it. You silently question if this person even got to experience their own formal.

8. The "Trouble Maker"

Unfortunately, at least one person at a formal gets thrown out because they didn't follow the rules or they were just causing straight mischief. Sometimes, mischief is a good thing!

9. The "Stranger"

No one knows this guy, nor do they know how he got here.

10. The "Formal Star"

This person has the best outfit, the best hair and makeup and loves everything to do with formal.

AI music threatens creativity

The Soul of Sound: How AI Challenges Human Expression in Music

In an age where artificial intelligence can mimic the voice of Freddie Mercury or reimagine pop hits as synthwave ballads, a new frontier has emerged — one that blurs the line between innovation and erosion. While AI offers undeniable benefits in technical domains, its intrusion into creative arts, especially music, raises urgent questions. Not just about copyright, but about culture, education, and the very soul of artistic expression.

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.

Why Your Astrological Sign May Not Match Your Personality

We are all more than just one sign.

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.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

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.
