It only happens once a year. It's the day you have to wear green, where leprechauns come to life, and the bars make the big bucks. It's St. Patrick's Day!

Here are 5 Reasons why St. Paddy's Day is the BEST Holiday of the year.

1. EVERYONE is Irish (even if you're not)

On St. Patrick's Day, everyone is Irish because everyone celebrates! Throw on some green and you're good to go. In fact, you're almost expected to conform and be Irish for the day or else you'll be pinched! So why not, embrace your inner Irish and have some fun with it.

2. ...and if you're "Irish" then that means you'll get some free kisses ;)

There is a famous saying, "Kiss me, I'm Irish" that is very common around this time of year. I mean, since we are all expected to wear green and embrace our inner Irish, we might as well take advantage, am I right?! Just don't forget your green lipstick ladies!

3. Green can really bring out your eyes.

Green is a great complimentary color and really brings out your eyes if you have brown or blue eyes. The more, the merrier! Get together and go all out this St. Patrick's Day. After all, if wearing green brings out those gorgeous eyes, then who could resist kissing you!

4. Dartys All Day, Bar Hop All Night

Darty=Day Party. If you are going to be on a college campus this St. Patrick's Day, then you're in for a treat. Rumor has it, here at JMU we are going to have some pretty epic dartys, and I hear some might even be having a moon bounce and mechanical bull. Go and have fun with your friends. If you're 21 and over, enjoy the nightlife and go to some bars and drink some green beer, just stay safe and be classy :)

5. Shamrock Shake

It is only here once a year, that's right folks, it is McDonald's love and cherished Shamrock Shake. This beautiful green, minty, refreshing milkshake will make your taste buds do a happy Irish jig! Take a ride and fill up on some McDonald's and Shamrock Shake this St. Patrick's Day.

6. It's a Lucky Day!

One big component of the St. Paddy's day is luck. Whether you're into the idea of luck or not, might as well take a chance and see where it might take you this St. Patrick's Day. I mean, how could you not love a holiday that is all about things playing out in your favor.

Get your shamrock shake in hand, green lipstick on, and embrace your inner Irish as you celebrate this St. Paddy's Day!

Thank You on wooden blocks

1. Thank you for being the one I can always count on to be honest.

A true friend will tell you if the shirt is ugly, or at least ask to borrow it and "accidentally" burn it.

2. Thank you for accepting me for who I am.

A best friend will love you regardless of the stale french fries you left on the floor of your car, or when you had lice in 8th grade and no one wanted to talk to you.

Do as I say, not as I do.

Your eyes widen in horror as you stare at your phone. Beads of sweat begin to saturate your palm as your fingers tremble in fear. The illuminated screen reads, "Missed Call: Mom."

Growing up with strict parents, you learn that a few things go unsaid. Manners are everything. Never talk back. Do as you're told without question. Most importantly, you develop a system and catch on to these quirks that strict parents have so that you can play their game and do what you want.

"Friends" maybe didn’t have everything right or realistic all the time, but they did have enough episodes to create countless reaction GIFs and enough awesomeness to create, well, the legacy they did. Something else that is timeless, a little rough, but memorable? Living away from the comforts of home. Whether you have an apartment, a dorm, your first house, or some sort of residence that is not the house you grew up in, I’m sure you can relate to most of these!
