In This Article:

July is a pretty wonderful month. The weather is perfect to go explore the outdoors or go for a dip in the pool. You have holidays like Canada Day and the Fourth of July. People celebrate with pride and great food... But there are some other holiday gems that are in the background just waiting to be recognized.

1. July 10th: Teddy Bear Picnic Day

The name of the holiday makes it pretty obvious how you're supposed to celebrate. There isn't a lot of information on this official holiday's origins, but there's speculation that it has to do with a TV show from the 1950s called "Teddy Bears' Picnic".

2. July 13th: Embrace Your Geekness Day

You can thank the good folks at Wellcat Holidays for this one! While this is something you should be doing every day (in my humble opinion), July 13th is the day to celebrate it to the max! Dress up like a Stormtrooper, tell everyone to live long and prosper, or let the world know that traveling through space and time is your shtick. Fly your geek flag with pride and remind everyone that you solemnly swear that you are up to no good.

3. July 13th: National French Fry Day

Maybe "embracing geekness" isn't your thing, but you know what probably is? French fries. Who doesn't love french fries? According to holidaysinsights.com, this holiday came to fruition around the early 2000s. Sure, it's not something that's widely recognized, but any day that gives you a reason to eat something delicious is something worth celebrating.

4. July 20th: Moon Day

Moon Day is meant to honor the day that man first stepped on the moon in 1969. Make this a day that you party under the light of the silvery moon! Unless, of course, you're behind the theory that the U.S. faked the moon landing. In which case, give a round of applause for great cinematography.

5. July 24th: National Tequila Day

This one is like National French Fry Day–tt's not officially recognized, but it's well-known. Grab a couple of friends and feel less guilty about taking shots one after the other in the spirit of celebration.

6. July 31st: National Mutt Day

Dogs deserve love every day, but this day is one that mutts can shine. If you have a mutt for a pup or know somebody with one, make sure to give them some extra love today!

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.

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.

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.
