Make the Most of the Shortest Month: February National Holidays
Laura Ockel

February may be the shortest month, but it is still full of things to celebrate! Here is a list of the national days coming up each day this month:

February 1st: National Serpent Day

It's a creepy start to February honoring snakes but some people are into it.


February 2nd: National Groundhog Day

Will spring come early or will winter stay here a little longer? That depends... will Punxsutawney Phil see his shadow?

February 3rd: National Carrot Cake Day

Carrots make it healthy, right?

February 4th: National Homemade Soup Day / National Thank a Mail Carrier Day

Make some homemade soup and give it to your mailman to show your appreciation and kill two birds with one stone.

February 5th: World Nutella Day

It's okay to eat it straight from the jar today... or any day, honestly.

February 6th: National Frozen Yogurt Day

Who cares if it's cold? I'm not going to skip an opportunity to eat ice cream.

February 7th: National Periodic Table Day

This is the day for all of you chemistry nerds out there!

February 8th: National Kite Flying Day

As long as it's not part of a math problem, kites are pretty cool. Hopefully, it will just be windy enough...

February 9th: National Bagel Day / National Pizza Day

Or should we just go ahead and call it National Pizza Bagel Bite Day?

February 10th: National Umbrella Day

I usually hate rainy days, but on National Umbrella Day I will make an exception.

February 11th: National Make a Friend Day / National Peppermint Patty Day

Share a peppermint patty with someone... it will make the friendship more likely!

February 12th: National Clean Out Your Computer Day

It's a dreaded task but it must be done every once in awhile... so quit putting it off and just do it already!

February 13th: National Tortellini Day

I'm sensing a pre-Valentine's Day dinner date Italiano...

February 14th: Valentine's Day / National Cream-Filled Chocolates Day

If you don't get a Russell Stover sampler from your loved one, go ahead and buy one for yourself. It's not sad if you are doing it to observe National Cream-Filled Chocolates Day!

February 15th: Singles Awareness Day

All the single ladies (and dudes) out there probably feel pretty aware of the fact that they were alone on Valentine's Day.

February 16th: National Almond Day

Almonds are super healthy for you. There are SO many essential nutrients in them! So don't miss this opportunity to eat some!

February 17th: National Random Acts of Kindness Day

Even if it's just something as simple as holding the door for someone, make it a point to be a decent person today.

February 18th: National Drink Wine Day

Time to get WINE DRUNK.

February 19th: National Chocolate Mint Day

Got any leftover peppermint patties????

February 20th: National Love Your Pet Day

For all you animal lovers, take some time to spoil your little snuggle buddy.

February 21st: National Sticky Bun Day

Who doesn't love a warm, ooey-gooey sticky bun???

February 22nd: National Cook a Sweet Potato Day / National Chili Day / National Margarita Day

Time to get DRUNK (again) and make some sweet potato chili!

February 23rd: National Banana Bread Day / National Toast Day

We are all guilty of buying too many bananas and letting them go rotten. SO instead of throwing them away, use them to make some banana bread! And THEN use a slice or two of that banana bread to make some toast!

February 24th: National Tortilla Chip Day

Are you team salsa, guacamole, or queso????

February 25th: National Chocolate Covered Nut Day

My suggestion? Go to Trader Joe's and buy some dark chocolate covered almonds with sea salt and turbinado sugar. You can thank me later.

February 26th: National Tell a Fairy Tale Day

Embrace your inner child and use your imagination to make up your own fairy tale. You can tell it to your kids as a bedtime story... or to your dog if you don't have any kids yet...

February 27th: National Strawberry Day / National Polar Bear Day

I will definitely be wearing my polar bear socks as I eat some strawberries on February 27th.

February 28th: National Floral Design Day

Pull out your favorite floral shirt from the depths of your closet and sport it for the day!

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.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

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.
