    Answer

    It Ends With Us is a book I read recently. It's by the author Colleen Hoare. It's mainly a story about two teenagers, Atlas and Lily, and how they just handle their life going through high school, adolescence, and just domestic violence at home. Both of them come from very, very different families. However, they have one common determining factor between them, which is domestic violence. The abuse that they've seen their moms go through is just insane, and they connect through that on a different level. They're actually in the same high school, but they never speak to each other until Atlas actually crashes into an empty house next to Lily's villa. When Atlas is homeless and he doesn't have anywhere to go, he just comes and breaks into the house next to Lily's, and Lily helps him with all the daily necessities like clothes and food, medicines and stuff. Furthermore, their friendship blossoms into love, but it doesn't really fructify as Atlas has to leave. This book really gave me a lot of knowledge about domestic abuse and how to deal with it.

    Well, I am not a party person, usually I love to stay at my home in my own room with my laptop on with Netflix and chill with getting some online, with ordering some food online. But sometimes I love to attend parties as my parents are a bit strict, they don't allow me to go parties for late night but it was an evening party and I was supposed to be home by 10, my parents allowed me to do so. So it was a birthday party of my friend at his own house where all of my colleagues and partners were invited, it was in mid of January. It was really happening party like there were kids who were dancing and singing and for me it was a kind of new experience coz I was really new to it but I also tried to squeeze in as although it was not my cup of tea to dance and sing but I still tried to do something and entertain my friends. We also played games such as truth and dare and a lot more. We also played cup flipping, bottle flipping also there were a lot of snacks to enjoy moreover I would like to say it was a great party like I enjoyed a lot but I was late for back to home so my parents didn't allow me to go.

It was organized by our juniors and it was one of the best parties I have ever attended. It included everything right from food, drinks to DJ, music and everything that could put a life into the party. It was a quiet rollercoaster ride for us as we were bidding adieu to this college and also stepping on to the next phase of our life. So lot of memories were shared, lot of video clips were shared and we did enjoy a lot during the party. The food was amazing, variety of cuisines were there and we enjoyed every bit of it.

    In the socialising world, I would like to talk about my graduation party. So, that's in Russia after my six years of completing my bachelors. It's my graduation day and in the evening our university arranged a party in our party hall. It's a huge party. All our seniors and juniors were invited and we had different varieties of food over there. And everyone dressed too pretty. It's really nice to meet our seniors on our graduation after successfully clearing our six years journey in the medical field. When the party started, our dean and vice dean had a talk with us. After that, they arranged some games and they even arranged some DJs for dances and vibes. We had a little chit chat with our seniors and there were more seniors who helped us. They talked about our future and they suggested many ways to move forward. I loved that thing about it. The most important part is we had time to chat with our seniors and they gave more ideas how to move forward. Another most precious thing is our parents were in live YouTube telecast. So, they can also watch our graduation party. That was the most important thing I have to share here. So, that we won't miss our parents too. They were also there watching our party.
