7 Festivities You Can Do To Occupy Your St. Patrick's Day

Don't spend your St. Patrick's Day olagonin' ( that's "Complaining" in the Irish tongue).

St. Patrick's Day is a holiday often forgotten in America, I mean it seems like there is not much to it. Despite this, I believe it is possible for there to always be something lively and fun to do on even the most low-key holidays.

In light of the month of March, I have compiled a list of activities for you, (or maybe you and your friends) to try doing on St. Patrick's Day. This list has many different options, so do not think it will just be things for kids or activities for only leprechauns. Enjoy.

1. Adults Only: Celebrate

Get the lasses or lassies together and go out for some drinks in an Irish Pub.

2. Get Creative

Look up some Irish slang words and make a game out of it by having your friends each take a turn guessing what the slang terms mean. There are some great (and hilarious) Irish words out there. For a list of Irish slang terms, click here.

3. Make A Leprechaun Trap

One of my favorite childhood memories was setting up Leprechaun traps the night before St. Patrick's Day. If you're too lazy to make one yourself, just set up the game board for "MouseTrap". #closeenough

4. Bagpipe Party

If you know someone who plays bagpipes, have them serenade you on St. Patrick's Day. If not, try and scope out some bars or events where someone will be jamming out on the pipes.

5. Scavenger Hunt

Has anyone ever really found the end of a rainbow? How about a four-leafed clover? Go searching for these St. Patrick's Day gems, or make a St. Patty's Day scavenger hunt for your family. Ideas include a box of lucky charms with only marsh mellows, a pot of gold (could be candy), a Leprechaun hat, bell-buckled shoes, etc.

6. Check It Out

If you're one of those old-fashioned history buffs, take a day to research the history behind St. Patrick's Day. Click here for a start.

7. Watch Some St. Patrick's Day Movies

Nothing better than relaxing and celebrating in your own home. "The Luck of the Irish", anyone?

Honorable Mention: It's also very entertaining to watch people Irish Jig, or for you to attempt an Irish Jig. Try doing this to ANY type of music, I have found it can be hilarious.

Have a gas this St. Patrick's Day everyone, and do not forget to wear green!

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
