Hidden Holidays

Sometimes life feels monotonous. Everyday merges together as we find ourselves doing the same things over and over again. It’s hard to find the beauty in individual days when they all seem to be the same, which is why I present to you: holidays you didn’t know existed. If you want to celebrate but don’t have an excuse, consider looking at these! 

If you look at the “Timeanddate” website, you are able to find a different holiday for each day (some days even have more than one). These range from oddly specific ones, such as “Oatmeal Nut Waffle Day” on March 11, to broader ones, such as “Let’s Laugh Day” on March 19. Other holidays you can find for this month are: “Puppy Day” on March 23, “Make Up Your Own Holiday Day” on March 26, and “Take a Walk in the Park Day” on March 30. 

Even just acknowledging these days can make your routine a little bit more fun. Eat a waffle for “Waffle Day” or gather your friends and make a story together on “World Storytelling Day.” When life seems boring, even something as silly as a made-up holiday can make your day special. In the end every day is new and exciting in its own way, so try new things, break the habit of going through your day mindlessly, even if all you do differently is that you make chocolate covered raisins for “Chocolate Covered Raisins Day”!
