It only happens once a year. It's the day you have to wear green, where leprechauns come to life, and the bars make the big bucks. It's St. Patrick's Day!

Here are 5 Reasons why St. Paddy's Day is the BEST Holiday of the year.

1. EVERYONE is Irish (even if you're not)

On St. Patrick's Day, everyone is Irish because everyone celebrates! Throw on some green and you're good to go. In fact, you're almost expected to conform and be Irish for the day or else you'll be pinched! So why not, embrace your inner Irish and have some fun with it.

2. ...and if you're "Irish" then that means you'll get some free kisses ;)

There is a famous saying, "Kiss me, I'm Irish" that is very common around this time of year. I mean, since we are all expected to wear green and embrace our inner Irish, we might as well take advantage, am I right?! Just don't forget your green lipstick ladies!

3. Green can really bring out your eyes.

Green is a great complimentary color and really brings out your eyes if you have brown or blue eyes. The more, the merrier! Get together and go all out this St. Patrick's Day. After all, if wearing green brings out those gorgeous eyes, then who could resist kissing you!

4. Dartys All Day, Bar Hop All Night

Darty=Day Party. If you are going to be on a college campus this St. Patrick's Day, then you're in for a treat. Rumor has it, here at JMU we are going to have some pretty epic dartys, and I hear some might even be having a moon bounce and mechanical bull. Go and have fun with your friends. If you're 21 and over, enjoy the nightlife and go to some bars and drink some green beer, just stay safe and be classy :)

5. Shamrock Shake

It is only here once a year, that's right folks, it is McDonald's love and cherished Shamrock Shake. This beautiful green, minty, refreshing milkshake will make your taste buds do a happy Irish jig! Take a ride and fill up on some McDonald's and Shamrock Shake this St. Patrick's Day.

6. It's a Lucky Day!

One big component of the St. Paddy's day is luck. Whether you're into the idea of luck or not, might as well take a chance and see where it might take you this St. Patrick's Day. I mean, how could you not love a holiday that is all about things playing out in your favor.

Get your shamrock shake in hand, green lipstick on, and embrace your inner Irish as you celebrate this St. Paddy's Day!

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.
