We all know Easter and Halloween and Christmas. But have you ever heard of these wacky National Days?

1. National Buffet Day (January 2nd)

Celebrate this one by feasting at your favorite all-you-can-eat restaurant! Just in time to break that New Years resolution!

2. Squirrel Appreciation Day (January 21st)

Imagine the world without squirrels. They need some appreciation, people.

3. National Send a Card to a Friend Day (February 7th)

You've goat mail! (Sorry. I'm sorry. I formally apologize for the bad pun. But please send me a baby goat. I love them. They're so cute!)

Honestly though, isn't getting real mail just the best thing? It makes the day so much better. This is such a wonderful National Day, guys!

4. National Cook a Sweet Potato Day (February 22nd)

I wonder if sweet potato fries count? Those things are fantastic.

5. National Get Over It Day (March 9th)

March 9th has no time for your drama.

6. National Poultry Day (March 19th)

Where would we be without poultry in our lives? WOULD THERE EVEN BE A CHICK-FIL-A?!

7. National Wear Your Pajamas to Work Day (April 16th)

The calendar has spoken. Break out the jammies and rock 'em at your nine-to-five.

8. National Take a Chance Day (April 23rd)

Ever wanted to drop everything and go on a spur-of-the-moment road trip? Ever wanted to start a cake-decorating business? Ever wanted to tell that stranger on the metro what a nice face he has? Ever wanted to quit your day job and move to Quebec? Then this is the National Day for you. Carpe Diem, friends!

9. National Lost Sock Memorial Day (May 9th)

Alas, we've all been there. Our socks disappear to the laundry... and some never return. RIP missing socks.

10. National Dance Like a Chicken Day (May 14th)

Not missing out on this one ever again.

This is the day you can post four thousand pictures of that one daisy you saw next to the sidewalk and nobody can fault you for it. Enjoy!

12. National Chocolate Pudding Day (June 26th)

A whole day to celebrate chocolate pudding-- what a time to be alive!

13. National Cheer Up the Lonely Day (July 11th)

But guys, why isn't this every 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.

We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
