Do you think this holiday is silly? Think again.

In a world where natural disasters, poverty, war, and so many other terrible things go on every day, it is important that we look for any opportunity to smile and be positive. It was recently National Hug Day and we also have National Pet Day and National Burger day. These silly "holidays" may seem pointless or childish, but they are, in fact, way more important than meets the eye. They have the potential to distract us from the tough situations in our lives and force us to focus on delicious chocolate cake for 24 hours. I think it is genius. Here are 8 reasons why National Chocolate Cake Day (January 27th) is absolutely amazing.

1. It is an excuse to treat yourself to a scrumptious desert.

No shame.

2. You can become the favorite co-worker or friend when you show up to the office with a cake.

Who doesn't like being the favorite?

3. There is finally a valid reason to explore all of the best bakeries in town.

Woohoo!!

4. No one will judge you for being in a chocolate coma.

This is me. Me everyday.

5. Pulling a Joey Tribbiani is acceptable on this holiday.

If Joey doesn't share food, then I don't either!!

6. For once, coffee will be unnecessary because of your all day sugar high.

All ready to go!

7. Cake for every meal is totally normal on January 27th.

Guilty.

8. If you love to bake, call in sick to work! This is your day to spend testing recipes in the kitchen.

Have I convinced you to celebrate this glorious holiday? Are you picturing the beautiful cake you are going to devour with no shame? I thought so. If you are having a rough day, a rough week, or a rough month, I have just given you something to look forward to! Perk up and mark your calendar!

Here is a recipe for an easy, microwavable chocolate mug cake.

18 Things I Want To Do Now That I'm 18

I'm technically an adult, so I'm legally required to live a little, right?

Happy Birthday Cake

For the entirety of my high school career, I was always seen as the goody-two-shoes. I never got in trouble with a teacher, I kept stellar grades, and when I wasn't doing extracurricular activities, I was at home studying. Even when I did go out, it was usually with a bunch of fellow band geeks. The night would end before 11:00 PM and the only controversial activity would be a fight based on who unfairly won a round of Apples-to-Apples when someone else clearly had a better card (I promise I'm not still holding a grudge).

Now that I'm officially an adult, I want to pursue some new things. I want to experience life in a way that I never allowed myself to do prior to entering college. These are the years that I'm supposed to embark on a journey of self-discovery, so what better way to do that than to create a bucket list?

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.
