There are so many reasons to celebrate the Fourth of July. It seems to be a holiday that everyone takes part in. You can see the youngsters gorging themselves with watermelon. The teens are busy wading in the water or hanging out with each other. The adults finally get the opportunity to put their feet up for a bit and have a drink or two. The grandparents are lazily enjoying their afternoon while doting over their grandchildren. It seems like on the Fourth of July, everything is right in the world. The sun shines a bit brighter, the birds chirp a bit louder and the smiles that appear are more genuine. The Fourth of July is for everyone and here are a few reasons why we love it so much!

1. College friends collide with high school friends.

What could be better than all your friends in one place? A whole new scene, partying with the old and the new has never been better.

2. Somewhere on a beach.

Or a boat, you are most likely catching up on Vitamin D under the sun in your favorite beach town.

3. Red, white and blue bathing suits.

Who doesn't love a festive bikini? Or forcing your boyfriend to wear the new Fourth of July trunks you picked out for him!

4. Hot dogs, hamburgers galore!

Your annual or daily meat intake always tastes better on the Fourth of July.

5. Amazing fireworks.

Finally time to make your move on that special someone. A midnight kiss under the illuminated sky? You are so in!

6. Drinks. A lot of them.

Whether you're drinking out of a watermelon filled with fruity vodka or throwing back one too many Coronas, you should never be thirsty during a worthy celebration!

7. A weekend to remember.

The Fourth of July is one of the best weekends of summer, maybe even the whole year. We always look forward to it, make your Fourth of July weekend one for the books!
