March’s unique holidays

ByClarion Staff

Feb 25, 2014

We start off the month of March with Worship Tools Day on the 11. If you know someone who likes tools, go out and get them another wrench, hammer or saw to add to the overabundance of tools that this person already has. After all, no one can have too many tools. The same method also applies to duct tape; you can never have too much duct tape for your tools either.

March 12 is Plant a Flower Day. Nothing is better than going out, planting a flower and watching it grow and blossom over the next couple of months. If it happens to be too cold on this day, go ahead and plant a flower inside. Flowers cannot be tamed, let them blossom wherever you go.

Popcorn Lovers Day is on March 13. Go out and buy all the popcorn you can on this day. Make it an event to go out to the movies and get fat. Don’t worry, no one will think you are crazy if you are crunching popcorn throughout the whole movie, they would rather have that than someone who screams at the screen.

March 14 is National Pi Day. On this day, use it as a time to step into your math classes with a little bit of pride. Create a game about 3.14 and nerd it up, singing happy birthday to Albert Einstein and loving every second of it.

March 15 is Everything You Think is Wrong Day. On this day, go up to that one person you know that somehow believes they are the knower of all things and come at them with this holiday. Tell them that everything they think is actually wrong — explaining to them why everything they have to say for the next 24 hours is a complete lie.

March 16, however, is Freedom of Information Day. This day, go around looking up the things you are skeptical about and asking all those silly questions you refrain from any other day of the year. Use this as a day to soak in everything that you have ever wanted to know and never look back.

Supreme Sacrifice Day is on March 18. Use this day as a time to offer thanks for those who have made the supreme sacrifice. Examples of these would be soldiers in battle who have given their lives to protect freedom, fireman and police officers who protect us in the line of duty or even everyday people, who sacrifice their time to be there for you when you need it. Make sure to reflect on those people on this day and remember them.

Calling all aliens lovers, March 20 is the day is for you, because it is Extraterrestrial Abductions Day. Watch the skies, duck if you see something unusual and be sure to watch ET on this day. If you’re lucky, an alien will come for you.

March 22 is National Goof Off Day. Use this time as a way to show everyone just how funny you can be. Plan a time in the middle of the day to play a game in class. Tell jokes when it isn’t appropriate and be as crazy as you can be, after all it is national goof off day.

Waffle Day is March 25, so go ahead and purchase a waffle iron and go to town making waffles for everyone on this day. Waffles are a great way to start the day and the perfect way to end it. If you don’t agree, then you don’t deserve to participate in the glory of this day.

March 26 is a special day, as it is Make Up Your Own Holiday Day. During this day take the time to use your imagination and create a day that is unlike any other.

March 28 is Something on a Stick Day. Go to the nearest Chinese restaurant and purchase a Shish Kabob or deep fry anything you can think of. Believe me, you won’t regret it. As long as it is on a stick, feel free to show it to the world on this day.

March 29 is Smoke and Mirrors day. This day is all about illusions and things not appearing as they actually are. According to American Journalist Jimmy Breslin, “the ability to create the illusion of power, to use mirrors and blue smoke, is one found in unusual people.”

March 31 is National Clam on the Half Shell Day. If you like clams this day is for you. Go to the nearest restaurant you can think of and purchase all the clams in the world to devour on this day.

If you have any holidays worth mentioning, feel free to send them in to the clarion at clarion@sinclair.edu. Happy celebrating.
