It's that time of year again when every girl's inner VMA Miley Cyrus comes out for an epic and probably regretful Halloween weekend. However, in the mist of disgracing our families with exotic outfit choices, us basic white girls face many struggles during the holiday.

1. There is a secret "who's the hottest" battle between all girls.[rebelmouse-proxy-image https://media.rbl.ms/image?u=%2Ffiles%2F2016%2F10%2F28%2F636132720317035245-1294942970_giphy-2.gif&ho=https%3A%2F%2Faz616578.vo.msecnd.net&s=990&h=3d04a38cded9207375776327c78f8109dbc06a4fea388e0d2564d5409d43c432&size=980x&c=1007707271 crop_info="%7B%22image%22%3A%20%22https%3A//media.rbl.ms/image%3Fu%3D%252Ffiles%252F2016%252F10%252F28%252F636132720317035245-1294942970_giphy-2.gif%26ho%3Dhttps%253A%252F%252Faz616578.vo.msecnd.net%26s%3D990%26h%3D3d04a38cded9207375776327c78f8109dbc06a4fea388e0d2564d5409d43c432%26size%3D980x%26c%3D1007707271%22%7D" expand=1]

2. Arriving at the party squad deep is a must.

You got all your girls looking hot af and you're ready to take on the night.

4. Reality

But, you end up alone in the middle of street struggling to make it back home.

5. When someone says, "keg stand!"

I volunteer as tribute!

6. When you see the boy who deaded you.

Hey! You see how good I look...oh...guess not...okay...bye!

7. After a weekend of non-stop drinking you're one mistake away from death.

[rebelmouse-proxy-image https://media.rbl.ms/image?u=%2Ffiles%2F2016%2F10%2F28%2F636132729227735440-785100036_giphy-9.gif&ho=https%3A%2F%2Faz616578.vo.msecnd.net&s=392&h=ece7bb8fee6d79a61e90dbd949a5dd449b0dcf08e94d1facc861ed47043f3587&size=980x&c=3506718468 crop_info="%7B%22image%22%3A%20%22https%3A//media.rbl.ms/image%3Fu%3D%252Ffiles%252F2016%252F10%252F28%252F636132729227735440-785100036_giphy-9.gif%26ho%3Dhttps%253A%252F%252Faz616578.vo.msecnd.net%26s%3D392%26h%3Dece7bb8fee6d79a61e90dbd949a5dd449b0dcf08e94d1facc861ed47043f3587%26size%3D980x%26c%3D3506718468%22%7D" expand=1]

8. Still living it up no matter what.

9. When you see another squad dressed in the same costume.

[rebelmouse-proxy-image https://media.rbl.ms/image?u=%2Ffiles%2F2016%2F10%2F28%2F636132736495713957714264205_giphy-11.gif&ho=https%3A%2F%2Faz616578.vo.msecnd.net&s=470&h=8038bb65a46fca66c9ad506f98ad45d7216a9e6f87c091f9bb2766de0ae9422a&size=980x&c=1415481808 crop_info="%7B%22image%22%3A%20%22https%3A//media.rbl.ms/image%3Fu%3D%252Ffiles%252F2016%252F10%252F28%252F636132736495713957714264205_giphy-11.gif%26ho%3Dhttps%253A%252F%252Faz616578.vo.msecnd.net%26s%3D470%26h%3D8038bb65a46fca66c9ad506f98ad45d7216a9e6f87c091f9bb2766de0ae9422a%26size%3D980x%26c%3D1415481808%22%7D" expand=1]

It quickly becomes a war of "who wore it better" and, sadly, you lost.

10. Your excuse for everything is...

Patriotism doesn't end with Independence day

Photo by Rob Martinez on Unsplash

I'm the child of a Marine Veteran. He may have been out of the service by the time I was born, but the Patriotic Pride he lived by has been my family's life line. I grew up with the American Flag hanging in my front porch. My dad has the "Proud to be a Marine" license plate in the front of his car. And red, white, and blue is a completely acceptable way to decorate your living room. But it doesn't end with just that. You need to know why we celebrate freedom.

Baby You're A Firework

The Fourth of July

University of California Santa Cruz

According to Katy Perry, "Baby You're a Firework." I don't know if she was referring to the Fourth of July when she was referencing fireworks, but this song has allowed this generation to rejoice. The song "Firework" allows people of all ages to appreciate the lyrics, as the song brings forth a positive state of mind. Unfortunately, just like the song, not every knows what the Fourth of July is actually for. Many just assume it is that one time of year you get to spend time barbecuing and see fireworks light up the sky. Even though many are not aware of the American historical significance, this holiday has annually encouraged people to come together happily, which could very much be the importance of it.

Independence Day is almost upon us, which means that for most Americans, it'll be time to bust out the lawn chairs and grills, gather around family and friends, and praise our history through patriotic garb and grand fireworks displays. It's the one day of the year where everyone forgets their political biases or historic inaccuracies, at least for a while, to look back on the hazy, illustrious history of the United States.

But, while we celebrate what people like George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, and Patrick Henry did for this country, they are not the only ones who embodied the very virtues that our nation loves to advocate for. This Fourth of July, here are ten American women who history tends to forget, despite the groundbreaking things they did for their country.

The Fourth of July

Many of us have childhood memories of the Fourth of July.

Many of us are huge fans of barbecues.

Some of us enjoyed throwing fireworks illegally.

Some of us live in places where we are never able to see the fireworks in person.

But it is still a tradition for the family and friends to gather around the television and watch them.

Sometimes, the Fourth of July gives us a big excuse to go on a date with our significant other.

Plus, who doesn't like an excuse to cuddle and watch fireworks?

The Fourth of July is also a good excuse to make plans with friends.

It’s the celebration of our great nation, and you’re all invited.

The patriots of the American Revolution aren't the only ones who gave us the rights to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.
