Strange July Holidays

Spoiler alert: Most don't involve fireworks.

Since I think strange holidays are fun, and I already wrote one of these for June, I've decided that this is going to be a monthly thing. That way, you will never miss out on a strange holiday. Ever.

1. July 2: National "I Forgot" Day

Don't feel like doing something on July 2nd? No big deal, friends. You forgot..

2. Also July 2: World UFO Day

Think you just saw a plane? You didn't. It was a UFO.

3. July 3: Disobedience Day

Today is your day to just do you. Be a jerk.

4. July 4: National Country Music Day

This is not surprising at all, as this is also Independence Day, and nothing screams "MURICA" more than a song about a pickup truck and beer.

5. July 10: Teddy Bear Picnic Day

I really, really wish that I could tell you what this means. I think that this glorious day is for you to have a picnic with your teddy bears, you know, just in case you realize that you have no friends. If anyone questions your actions, show them this article. I'll defend your honor.

6. July 11: Cheer Up the Lonely Day

Gee, have you been feeling down lately? Let me know, and I'll cheer you up with bad puns and ugly selfies! Only today though. After July 11, we can't be friends anymore.

7. July 14: National Nude Day

This is actually kind of understandable since mid July is when the temperatures soar. Wear that birthday suit with pride.

8. July 15: Cow Appreciation Day

I'm lucky enough to live in farm country, so I can see and smell cows every day! For those of you who are just oh so unlucky, July 15 is your day to cow out. (That's supposed to be like pig out, but it's cows, so it's funny — I'm funny, right?)

9. July 18: National Caviar Day

Ever wanted to try caviar? Me neither. But if you're a weirdo, have some on July 18.

10. July 20: National Lollipop Day

Lollipops are really kinda gross when you think about them. I will celebrate this day by listening to "Lollipop" by Lil Wayne on repeat instead of licking a spit-covered sugar sphere.

11. July 26: All or Nothing Day

I'm thinking this day was meant to be inspirational, but all I can think about when I hear "All or Nothing" is the 2001 jam by O-Town.

12. July 27: Take Your Pants for a Walk Day

I mean, I think this technically will count if you just take a walk while wearing pants. You don't have to go out and buy a leash or anything.

13. July 29: National Lasagna Day

This is arguably one of the best strange holidays to ever exist. Just refer to me as Garfield for the day.

14. July 30: National Cheesecake Day

This is tied for National Lasagna Day. I'm just a half Irish, half Italian girl who loves carbs and cheese. Sue me. (Don't actually, I'm a poor college student.)

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.
