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.

AI music threatens creativity

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.
