'National Lazy Day' And 11 Other Of The Most Ridiculously Awesome 'National Days' That We Should All Be Celebrating

To think that this whole time, there was a holiday that we could have been celebrating every day of the year. These aren't the holidays that everyone knows by heart, like Christmas on December 25th or Halloween on October 30th. But they sure are some fun ones!

Many are dreamed up by marketing departments, internet sites, and random people.

Its those days like "National Take Your Houseplants For A Walk Day," which — mark your calendars — is celebrated every year on July 27. So, without further banter, here is a list of some pretty plain awesome holidays that you should start celebrating.

1. January 11:  Step in the puddle and splash your friends day

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.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.
