Everyone knows the big national holidays that get us time off from school and work, and that require an abundance of celebration. But here's 14 holidays that get swept under the rug and definitely deserve just as much recognition as the others.

1. National Pie Day, January 23

This is definitely my favorite day of the whole entire year. Pie is amazing. It's time we start celebrating it.

2. International Dog Biscuit Appreciation Day, February 23

Slightly unsure how to celebrate this one, but I guess I'll just give my dog a bunch of biscuits?

3. National Strawberry Day, February 27

LOOK AT THIS GUY. I BET HE LOVES NATIONAL STRAWBERRY DAY. SHOULDN'T WE ALL???

4. Panic Day, March 9

Let's be honest, every day is panic day for me. But at least on this day I don't have to feel bad about it!

5. Girl Gang Appreciation Day, March 26

WHO RUN THE WORLD? GIRLS.

6. National Grilled Cheese Day, April 12

Look at all the gooey cheese!!!!! How could we not have a day celebrating this incredible food?

7. National Pizza Party Day, May 19

If you aren't throwing a pizza party on this day, you're doing it wrong.

8. National Donut Day, June 2

Donut tell me you aren't excited about this day.

9. National Piña Colada Day, July 10

I think it should be legal on this day for minors to drink Piña Coladas.

10. National Roller Coaster Day, August 16

Starting a petition to make every roller coaster free on this day.

11. National Coffee Day, September 29

Brb, only consuming coffee on this day.

12. National Cake Decorating Day, October 15

How about you decorate the cake and I'll eat it when you're done.

13. National Cat Day, October 29

LOOK AT THESE COOL CREATURES! OF COURSE WE SHOULD HAVE A DAY DEDICATED TO THEM!!

14. National Champagne Day, December 31

LET'S GET DRUNK!!!!

Truthfully, I think we should just make every day some sort of holiday.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.
