Strange July Holidays

Spoiler alert: Most don't involve fireworks.

Since I think strange holidays are fun, and I already wrote one of these for June, I've decided that this is going to be a monthly thing. That way, you will never miss out on a strange holiday. Ever.

1. July 2: National "I Forgot" Day

Don't feel like doing something on July 2nd? No big deal, friends. You forgot..

2. Also July 2: World UFO Day

Think you just saw a plane? You didn't. It was a UFO.

3. July 3: Disobedience Day

Today is your day to just do you. Be a jerk.

4. July 4: National Country Music Day

This is not surprising at all, as this is also Independence Day, and nothing screams "MURICA" more than a song about a pickup truck and beer.

5. July 10: Teddy Bear Picnic Day

I really, really wish that I could tell you what this means. I think that this glorious day is for you to have a picnic with your teddy bears, you know, just in case you realize that you have no friends. If anyone questions your actions, show them this article. I'll defend your honor.

6. July 11: Cheer Up the Lonely Day

Gee, have you been feeling down lately? Let me know, and I'll cheer you up with bad puns and ugly selfies! Only today though. After July 11, we can't be friends anymore.

7. July 14: National Nude Day

This is actually kind of understandable since mid July is when the temperatures soar. Wear that birthday suit with pride.

8. July 15: Cow Appreciation Day

I'm lucky enough to live in farm country, so I can see and smell cows every day! For those of you who are just oh so unlucky, July 15 is your day to cow out. (That's supposed to be like pig out, but it's cows, so it's funny — I'm funny, right?)

9. July 18: National Caviar Day

Ever wanted to try caviar? Me neither. But if you're a weirdo, have some on July 18.

10. July 20: National Lollipop Day

Lollipops are really kinda gross when you think about them. I will celebrate this day by listening to "Lollipop" by Lil Wayne on repeat instead of licking a spit-covered sugar sphere.

11. July 26: All or Nothing Day

I'm thinking this day was meant to be inspirational, but all I can think about when I hear "All or Nothing" is the 2001 jam by O-Town.

12. July 27: Take Your Pants for a Walk Day

I mean, I think this technically will count if you just take a walk while wearing pants. You don't have to go out and buy a leash or anything.

13. July 29: National Lasagna Day

This is arguably one of the best strange holidays to ever exist. Just refer to me as Garfield for the day.

14. July 30: National Cheesecake Day

This is tied for National Lasagna Day. I'm just a half Irish, half Italian girl who loves carbs and cheese. Sue me. (Don't actually, I'm a poor college student.)

Taylor Swift in orange dress playing a moss-covered piano on stage with bright lights.

A three-and-a-half-hour runtime. Nine Eras. Eleven outfit changes. Three surprise songs. Zero breaks. One unforgettable evening. In the past century, no other performer has put on an electric performance quite like Taylor Swift, surpassing her fans ‘wildest dreams’. It is the reason supporters keep coming back to her shows each year. Days later, I’m still in awe of the spectacle ‘Miss Americana’ puts on every few days in a new city. And, like one of Taylor’s exes, has me smiling as I reminisce about the memories of the night we spent together.

Today I started my third week of college at Minnesota State Moorhead. I have survived welcome week, finding my classes on the first day, and being an awkward loner in the dining hall. Even though I have yet to be here for a month, I have already experienced many thoughts and problems that only a new college student can relate to.

"Make sure to get involved when you're in college!"

We've all heard some variation of this phrase, whether it came from parents, other family members, friends, RAs, or college-related articles. And, like many clichés, it's true for the most part. Getting involved during your college years can help you make friends, build your resume, and feel connected to your campus. However, these commitments can get stressful if you're dealing with personal issues, need to work, or aren't sure how to balance classes and everything else going on during the semester.

College without friends is like peanut butter without jelly.

In college, one of the essential things to have is friends. Yes, textbooks, a laptop, and other school supplies are important but friends are essential. Friends are that support system everybody needs. The more friends you have the better the support system you have. But you also have someone to share experiences with. And don’t settle for just one or two friends because 8 out of 10 times they are busy and you are studying all alone. Or they have other friend groups that do not include you. Don’t settle for just one or two friends; make as many friends as you can. After the first couple of weeks of college, most friend groups are set and you may be without friends.

For a moment your world is spinning. The phone alarm has just scared you awake and you’re flooded by daunting thoughts of the day ahead. You have three assignments due and little time to work on them because of your job. You’re running late because you’ve hit snooze one to many times after yesterday’s long hours. You dizzily reach for a hoodie, craving its comfort, and rush for a speedy exit, praying you will have time to pick up coffee. Does this sound familiar?
