Christmas Parties: The Good, The Bad, and The Awkward

The time of year is back! We all love a good Christmas party, but no one is excited for the bad and awkward moments that come with it. Am I over-dressed? Why is Carl dancing by himself with that Snowman?? I can’t take this anymore, where is the egg nog? Regardless of what is going on in your head, we have all been there. So, to give you something to laugh and talk about, here is an article of your Christmas party experience, as told by gifs. Introducing the good, the bad and the awkward.

1. I don’t even know what to wear. Should I even bother going? I can’t find anything!

2. This traffic, I just can’t. Read the sign! I just want to eat food.

3. Oh wow, I just get here and no one is talking. This can’t be good.


4. When people start asking you what you are doing with your life.

5. Thank goodness. There is alcohol and egg nog.

Let's Deck the Halls.

6. Look at how much more fun this party is. Dance Party!!


7. Gosh, I am so hungry. Who made this? This is delicious!


8. "But, I want Red Ryder Range Model 1938 Air Rifle BB Gun for Christmas." Even though you tell them, everyone will tell you differently.


9. Thank goodness that's over. Wait...What game is this? How do I get this out of my nose?

10. When you somehow become friends with someone you least expected and end up having the time of your life.


12. "Oh wow..No. No, Karen! I absolutely love this avocado. I have always wanted one.

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.

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.

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.
