1. Grab a few friends and have a cookout.
From cheddar filled hot dogs (my favorite) to parades and fun, people for years have celebrated this amazing holiday. Instead of sitting by yourself, grab a few friends and examine Pinterest for cool DIY ideas for your American themed party.
2. Find the closest firework stand and buy fireworks, or go watch them.
No matter how old you are, you love fireworks. I promise! Big beautiful colors making pictures in the sky is just plain out fun. In your hometown, if they don't have these huge shows, then go grab some from the local firework stand. Watch your creation and have fun with it. (Side note: don't burn off eyebrows, don't point fireworks at each other and please for the love of God don't blow anything up or kill anyone.)
3. Play with sparklers and take cute pictures.
I know, I know it sounds dumb and cliche. But deep down, I know you're thinking about how cute those pictures are. Be those “Annoying accounts” and post those pictures! Taking polaroids and have fun with the sparklers. One thing I find cool is writing your name, year or college in the air, or do the boomerang on Instagram with the sparklers! Have friends jump in and make the picture memorable.
4. Dress up!
WEAR RED, WHITE AND BLUE. Paint your face or do your makeup! Its like halloween, but even better! Be proud of your country and let your inner American pride shine! No matter where you are in the world, you can always celebrate with your fellow Americans! Dress up your dogs too, perfect day to match with them!
5. Let loose and celebrate.
If you are like me, you celebrate the United States daily. This is just a declared day to celebrate with everyone! Like previously said, get involved this 4th of July!
