August 13th is International Left-Handers Day, which celebrates those who are left-handed. Even though 10% of the world is left-handed, it's strange to think about how it's only become "acceptable" in recent history.

Do you want to try art but don't know where to start? The best way to get into making art is to throw yourself right in. Whether painting or sketching, you can't improve if you never begin. As they say, practice makes perfect. But the trouble comes when you need to figure out what to practice or how to improve.

Malala Day is a celebration of Malala Yousafzai and her fight for education.
Born in 1997, she showed an unwavering passion for learning. However, due to the rise of the Taliban in her region, the right for young girls to seek education would be revoked. Malala, 11 at the time, bravely began to speak out against the Taliban's oppression and advocated for the right to education for everyone.

Independence Day
The 4th of July is a day to celebrate America's independence from England in the 18th Century. Whether you have a barbecue or watch fireworks, we can't help but feel patriotic during our celebrations. Although Independence Day only became a federal holiday in 1941, we officially gained our independence in 1776.

Before 1966, LGBT patrons would be refused alcohol service at bars due to the risk of getting shut down. Thanks to activists' protests, these regulations were overturned, allowing bars to serve these patrons. Although, they still could not legally partake in "gay behavior," such as holding hands or dancing together. Police would often harass gay bars and bars operating without a liquor license (usually owned by the Mafia).

Rather than an entire day, the Solstice represents a moment when the sun is northmost in the sky. Due to this, the sun will also rise and set at its most northern point on the day of the Solstice. Being the longest day of the year (in the northern hemisphere), you can expect around 15 hours of daylight.

June 16th is Father's Day, a well-earned holiday to honor the father figures in our lives. Only becoming an official holiday in 1972, the history behind the day is quite surprising.
