Some days are very hard to get through. Whether it be lots of homework, sports, endless hours spent learning, or waking up in the early hours of the morning is finally getting to you. But did you know that each day celebrates something?

I bet you were unaware that you have already missed exciting national days such as: National Mustard Day, National Wiggle Your Toes Day, National Rice Pudding Day, National Lazy Day, National Awkward Moments Day, National Let’s Laugh Day and a countless amount of others.

But have no fear! It’s only September, so there are a lot more national days coming up. We still have National Comic Book Day, National Pancake Day, National Coffee Day, National Sandwich Day, National Crossword Puzzle Day and National Make Up Your Mind Day in addition many more to look forward to!

According to Bel Air High School student, Ali McSpadden, “I think that National days add excitement to each day. We normally only focus on the large national days instead of the daily ones.”

Now you may be asking yourself, ‘Who cares?’ Well a lot of people care. Sometimes people just need an extra push to be motivated to get through the day. Whether that is because of National Monkey Day or not, it always helps knowing there is something to be celebrated each and every day. Sometimes, more than one thing is being celebrated!

“I actually didn’t really know about national days, but once I found out about them I look them up daily to see what cool things are being celebrated daily,” says Bel Air High School student, Anna Wojciechowski.

National days may seem like a silly concept, but it makes people realize that there is something every day should be celebrated. So if you wake up wondering why school starts so early, just remember it may just be National Put A Smile On Your Face Day.
