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!

birthday party

My birthday has never been my favorite holiday. I've found that I'm more excited to celebrate my friends' and family members' birthdays more than my own. I don't like being the center of attention, so I usually celebrate over dinner with a small group of family and friends. This way, I can enjoy myself naturally without feeling like I have to entertain everyone and make sure they are satisfied. In the past when I've had large parties, I was so nervous that people weren't perfectly content that I didn't enjoy myself at my own celebration.

College Informations

Most of us have already started the spring semester, and for those of you who haven't started yet, you suck.

It seems like coming back from winter break wouldn't really be a break all things considered, since we all come back to school and pick up right where we left off. We know exactly what to expect, yet we're unprepared every single time.

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.
