Happy Holidays...

The Holiday Drinking Game
1st Mariner Bank

Holiday break is finally here! You know what that means! Time for naps, free time, aaaannndd.... family dinners. Once you finish shuddering, continue reading please.

Now if you are anything like me, you get along well with your direct family. But once Christmas Eve hits, you are faced with plenty of uncles and cousins you see once or twice a year. These events always make for some drama.

Take a shot if....

An adult asks you how your finals went.

An adult asks you if you have a boy/girl friend (and take two if they ask if you have a partner that doesn't match your sexual orientation.)

A kid asks if you have a boy/girl friend.

"Come give _____ a kiss." (and take two if you are over the age of 20.)

Someone passes a baby to you for you to watch.

People go and excuse themselves into the kitchen to argue.

Someone is gifted a candle.

Politics are brought up.

"Hey who's parked behind Uncle ____?"

Someone is drunkenly singing Christmas carols.

Finish your drink if...

You are in a relationship and someone asks when you're getting married.

An unexpected (and uninvited) guest shows up.

Someone hands you a baby and says, "you're next, you know."

Someone receives an offensive gift.

A relatives ex-girlfriend or wife is brought up.

Someone takes the, "well how about our new president," bait.

Someone is drunkenly stumbling.

Just grab the whole bottle if...

"You know I know this nice boy...."

A heated political discussion begins.

Your unexpected guest starts arguing with someone else outside.

A child starts riding the dog like a horse.

Someone drops a glass plate in the kitchen.

Someone brings up conspiracy theories.

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.

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.
