Holidays That Need More Recognition: March Version!

It's March of 2019, and though I'm a week late, it's time for an 'underappreciated holidays' article! Here I have fifteen because there are so many interesting ones, and I couldn't choose. Look to this list for a quick dose of daily happiness! Here are fifteen different reasons to celebrate, even if it's a small celebration. We need to look for the bright spots in our lives so that we don't get sucked into a dark spiral of unhappiness. Find reasons to smile with me, and celebrate some of these holidays!

National Dress Day! -March 6

I love dresses, because there are so many forms. There's the formal, semi-formal, and casual, with thousands of styles in between, and ingrained inside of them. Take today to pick out a special dress just for the occasion!

National Cereal Day -March 7

Cereal is a typical breakfast for most people. It gives us energy for the rest of the day so we can survive! Give a little love to the breakfast food of champions and celebrate the seventh!

National Promposal Day -March 11

With prom right around the corner for so many high schoolers, and other dances coming up for any age, the 10th is a great day to celebrate the fun in the elegance of prom.

National Napping Day -March 11

Also on the 11th is National Napping Day! This is one of the best on the list, because a little nap can go a long way! That small rest can give a huge burst of energy, especially on a day as eventful as one with a promposal in it!

National Pie Day! -March 14

March 14th is: 3/14, the first three digits of pie! Celebrate by eating pie, or by learning a few more digits than you already know. Impress (or, let's be real, annoy) your friends by memorizing all the way back a hundred digits, or more!

National Corndog Day -March 16

Let's be real, corndogs aren't the best. The idea--revolutionary. The taste? On average, typically stale or tough to eat. That doesn't mean we can't celebrate the carnival food, though! Eat a corndog on the 16th to celebrate with us!

Awkward Moments Day -March 18

Things that seem deathly embarrassing today can be really funny stories for tomorrow. Take an awkward moment and put a positive spin on it for the 18th! Share an awkward story with someone else to encourage laughter and happiness!

International Day of Happiness -March 20

Couldn't we all use a little more happiness? A day centered around it is a great opportunity for a random act of kindness! Go out of your way once or twice on the 20th to do something nice for someone else, and watch your happiness and kindness spread!

National Proposal Day -March 20

Same day as the International Day of Happiness--Coincidence? I think not! Proposals are one of the happiest moments for the girl getting proposed to. Let's encourage love! If you're ready for marriage, and are thinking of some creative proposals, do it on the 20th to tie your proposal in with a holiday!

National Poetry Day -March 21

Poetry is a beautiful language that can express how we feel and what we've experiences in gorgeous rhyme or rhythm! Celebrate the day by starting with a poem. My favorite authors are Elizabeth Barrett Browning and Alfred Lord Tennyson.

National Goof Off Day -March 22

Season 3 Netflix GIF by Gilmore Girls - Find & Share on GIPHYGiphy

A whole day dedicated to letting loose and not stressing is exactly what we all need! Celebrate the 22nd by goofing off! Maybe don't do it where you'd get in trouble (i.e. school or work.), or where being serious is imperative.

National Puppy Day -March 23

In the Pet Pyramid, puppies rank #1. There's nothing quite as cute as a fluffy little puppy running everywhere or playing around. Take a moment to visit the special pup in your life, and give 'em your best wishes!

International Waffle Day

Speaking of pyramids, in the food pyramid, waffles outrank everything--except meat. Waffles are, and always will be, better than pancakes!

Respect Your Cat Day -March 28

Okay, okay, I added a point about puppies, I'll add one for cats too. Cats seem to be more proper, prim pets, and therefore apparently they demand respect. Give your cat a little respect! What that means, I'm not sure entirely, but there is a whole day dedicated to it, so it must make sense.

National Backup Day -March 31

As a writer, photographer, and a college student, I understand from personal failure, just how important backing up your files can be. Use the 31st to remember, and and backup everything, especially those precious pictures from your past!

March is full of interesting holidays, just ready to be celebrated! Pick a couple, and let's get celebrating!

Cool Off with These 8 Beers!

Summer is hot and humid, and it's almost like summer was made specifically to drink the refreshing, cold, crisp wonderful, delicious, nutritious nectar of the gods. Which is none other than beer; wonderful cold beer. With summer playing peek-a-boo around the corner while we finish up this semester, it's time to discuss the only important part of summer. And if you haven't already guessed, it's beer. There are few things I take more seriously than my beer, in order are: sports... and beer. Here are my favorite summer brews:

New England Summers Are The BEST Summers

Why you should spend your next summer in New England.

Saint Joseph's University

Three years ago, I chose to attend college in Philadelphia, approximately 360 miles away from my small town in New Hampshire. I have learned many valuable lessons away from home, and have thoroughly enjoyed my time spent in Pennsylvania. One thing that my experience has taught me, however, is that it is absolutely impossible to beat a New England summer.

You cannot beat the beach. Believe it or not (which many people may not), New England has a long and beautiful coastline. Most of my high school summers were spent sitting on the Wall at Hampton Beach, getting sunburnt and eating Acai bowls from The Secret Spot. The Wall was the place to be both during the day and at night. We begin our days there with a KB's bagel and coffee, and end them with pizza and ice cream. It’s not a New England summer without that 4 p.m. text from someone, “Who wants to meet at the Wall tonight?” Nighttime is for Tripoli’s Pizza, the sound of waves, and wishes on shooting stars. Wednesday nights are especially important, as those are the nights that Hampton Beach sets off the weekly firework display.

Perfect Weather

You don't have to worry about bug bites

In n Out all day, every day

We have outdoor concerts

We live where people vacation

Because let's be honest, we all use lyrics.

1. “Don’t get too close, it’s dark inside. It's where my demons hide.”

2. “Tonight, we are young.”

3. “Cuz I may be bad, but I’m perfectly good at it.”

4. “Tell me how they got that pretty little face on that pretty little frame.”

5. “I can’t wait to fall in love with you, you can’t wait to fall in love with me.”

6. “Sweatpants, hair tied, chillin with no makeup on.”

7. “Why you so obsessed with me?”

8. “We ain’t ever getting older.”

9. “I didn’t know that I was starving until I tasted you.”

10. “Didn’t they tell you I’m a savage?"

11. “I’m gonna make you miss me.”

12. "Cheers to the freakin weekend.”

13. “Love’s a game. Wanna play?”

14. “You don’t know about me, but I bet you want to.”

15. “Let’s set each other’s lonely nights, Be each other’s paradise.”

16. “Trippin’ on skies, sippin’ waterfalls."

17. “Wish we could turn back time, to the good old days.”

18. “But you will remember me for centuries.”

19. “Something about you makes me feel like a dangerous woman."

20. “Don’t act like it’s a bad thing to fall in love with me.”

21. “Darling, I’m a nightmare dressed like a daydream.”

22. “Find me where the wild things are.”

23. “I’m high on lovin’ you.”

24. “If you’re gonna be somebody’s heartbreak, somebody’s mistake, if you’re gonna be somebody’s first time, somebody’s last time, be mine.”

25. “Don’t be afraid to take the road less traveled on.”

Everything Bruce says in his classic rock songs.

1. "Talk about a dream Try to make it real You wake up in the night With a fear so real Spend your life waiting For a moment that just don't come Well don't waste your time waiting." (Badlands)

2. "It's a town full of losers/ I'm pulling out of here to win" (Thunder Road)

3. "You've got to learn to live with what you can't rise above" (Tunnel of Love)

4. "I got something in my heart/ I been waitin' to give/ I got a life I wanna start/ One I been waitin' to live" (Leah)

5. “God have mercy on the man/ Who doubts what he’s sure of” (Brilliant Disguise)

7. “Is a dream a lie when it don’t come true, or is it something worse?” (The River)

Why you should spend your next summer in New England.
