So, It's August 15th! School is just around the corner and it's technically still summer but today is different because today it's the motherland's birthday. Here is how to celebrate being desi in America. Got your Chai? Challo!

1. Start your day by jamming to Bollywood music

What's a better way to start your morning than just break dancing in your bathroom or kitchen?

2. Watch the Gandhi movie and maybe thank your parents for this incredible life

See on Instagram

Just remember to be grateful that your parents came all this way for your incredible life. Also remember how hard life was back then and if it wasn't for Gandhi, India would not be the country it is today. #BROWNANDPROUD

3. Watch kabhi khushi kabhie gham and maybe shed some tears

It should be a tradition because this movie is EVERYTHING

4. Eat Indian food

Do I really need to say more? Also drink water from a steel glass. Literally one of my favorite feelings

5. Watch some cricket

Definitely one of many Indian's favorite pastimes

6. Go kite flying

One of my favorite things to do as kid was go kite flying and more fun with the family! You may even hear a story or two of your parents childhood

7. Educate yourself

Please educate yourself. I am proud to be a young Indian-American and being an India is a huge apart of me. I recommend watching this video.

All names should be "unisex names."

I'm serious

There are tons of unisex names that are popular: Taylor, Alex, Bailey, etc. There are also numerous names that are used for both sexes, but they’re not seen as “unisex” yet. People are slowly becoming accustomed to the dual use of these names, but for the most part, in their minds they associate certain names with certain sexes. And that leaves those of us with these names in many awkward situations.

I'm an anthropology major, and I love every minute of it. I couldn't tell you why, but I guess there's just something about studying different lifestyles that absolutely fascinates me. But anthropology majors definitely have our weird sides, especially when you go to a school that is filled with mostly Business and Bio majors. But us weirdos definitely have a lot in common, specifically these 16 things.

Everyone has insecurities, that's just a fact. You didn't ask to be born this way. You didn't ask to inherit the one trait no one else in your family has. And you definitely didn't ask to be this ghostly white. But as soon as you've learned to live with it for a while (less wrinkles later on in life, right? right???) someone has to ruin it for you. They have to flaunt they're perfectly tanned body from Spring Break and hold their sun-kissed skin against yours. But I've had enough... here are the things that perpetually pale individuals are tired of hearing.
