10 different ways to celebrate america's birthday

Instagram

1. Fireworks

What better way to celebrate the birth of our country than to shoot up colored balls of fire into our sky? Seriously though, who doesn't love fireworks? Besides dogs haha. They are brightly colored, pretty, and light up the whole sky. I believe in a way to that fireworks are a representation of people in our country. They come in all different shapes, sizes, and colors so therefore I think we were kind of meant to shoot them into the sky.

2. Picnics

Who doesn't love a good picnic? You get to enjoy the beauty of nature while eating food, sounds like a win win to me. Sometimes all you want to do is just relax, enjoy the beauty of nature and just eat some sandwiches.

3. Escape to the Beach

Toes in the water walking down and up the pier, eating all the seafood you can stuff in your stomach all at once. Is there really a better way to celebrate? You can get tan and eat seafood I mean come on. Also fireworks are such a good thing on the beach, they way they reflect on the water is just absolutely stunning.

4. Shopping

I don't know about you guys but holiday's mean an excuse to shop. You get to decorate your house, and buy new outfits simply because you can't wear the same thing you wore last year, that just isn't acceptable.

5. Crafts

Get all of your family together and do some fun crafts! You could design your own 4th of July outfits or you could even make holiday decorations for the house!

6. Parade

Because who doesn't love their local parades in their town on the 4th of July? I know I do! Hearing the high school/college band play while everyone is clapping and cheering them on. Everyone is happy and wearing red, white, and blue. It is just an overall great day to remember everything that brought our country to where we are today.

7. Baseball Game

What is more American than baseball. Like really they set fireworks off after a 4th of July game if they play on that day in the state. I guarantee you that is one of the most American things that anyone has ever heard.

8. Family Time

Family time is important during each holiday. Especially if you have a family full of veterans who actually helped fight for our freedom. Doing a quick family photoshoot is really cute for the 4th of July as well.

9. BBQ

Food. Food is definitely a way to celebrate each holiday. I mean you can't really celebrate till you have a fully stomach. Then it is a lot more fun, and who doesn't love a little BBQ?

10. Friendly Family Corn Hole Tournament

Friendly family competitions can be a great way to celebrate America's birthday. Whether it is corn hole or some other game that can be such a fun thing to do including everyone kids and adults. Just be careful cause some people are really competitive.

Those are 10 great ways that you can celebrate the birth of America.

25 Beatles Lyrics: Your Go-To Guide for Every Situation

The Best Lines from the Fab Four

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

Waitlisted for a College Class? Here's What to Do!

Dealing with the inevitable realities of college life.

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.

The Best Lines from the Fab Four

And in the end, the love you take is equal to the love you make

The sun is up, the sky is blue, it's beautiful and so are you

Love is old, love is new, love is all, love is you

There's nowhere you can be that isn't where you're meant to be

Life is very short, and there's no time for fussing and fighting, my friend

He say, "I know you, you know me", One thing I can tell you is you got to be free

Oh please, say to me, You'll let me be your man. And please say to me, You'll let me hold your hand

It was twenty years ago today, Sgt. Pepper taught the band to play. They've been going in and out of style, but they're guaranteed to raise a smile

Living is easy with eyes closed, misunderstanding all you see

Can you hear me? When it rains and shine, it's just a state of mind

Little darling, it's been long cold lonely winter. Little darling, it feels like years since it' s been here. Here comes the sun, Here comes the sun, and I say it's alright

We danced through the night and we held each other tight, and before too long I fell in love with her. Now, I'll never dance with another when I saw her standing there

I love you, I love you, I love you, that's all I want to say

You say you want a revolution. Well you know, we all want to change the world

All the lonely people, where do they all come from. All the lonely people, where do they all belong

Oh, I get by with a little help from my friends

Hey Jude, don't make it bad. Take a sad song and make it better

Yesterday, all my troubles seemed so far away. Now it looks as though they're here to stay. Oh, I believe in yesterday

And when the brokenhearted people, living in the world agree, there will be an answer, let it be.

And anytime you feel the pain, Hey Jude, refrain. Don't carry the world upon your shoulders

I'll give you all I got to give if you say you'll love me too. I may not have a lot to give but what I got I'll give to you. I don't care too much for money. Money can't buy me love

All you need is love, love is all you need

Whisper words of wisdom, let it be

Blackbird singing in the dead of night, Take these broken wings and learn to fly. All your life, You were only waiting for this moment to arise

Though I know I'll never lose affection, for people and things that went before. I know I'll often stop and think about them. In my life, I love you more

Obviously the best superpower.

There have been many lessons learned.

2. How to be thankful for family and friends.

3. How to give back.

4. What the word "community" really means.

6. The consequences of making bad choices.

7. To trust people, until you have a reason not to.

8. To be welcoming and accepting of everyone.

9. How to be my own, individual person.

10. How to work for what I want.

11. How to be great at giving directions.

12. How to be humble.

13. To be well-rounded.

14. How to be great at conflict resolution.

15. The beauty of getting outside and exploring.

16. To be prepared for anything.

17. That you don't always have to do it alone.

18. How to be creative.

19. To brush off gossip.

I have never been so thankful to know you.
