People with different colored eyes: you are the envy of everyone. You deserve this day. We are all jealous.

Warning: Only attempt the celebration of this day if you're actually good at juggling. No one wants you dropping their fruit and breaking their stuff.

4. Tug O' War Day: July 21st

Get out all that frustation and and show off your big muscles with some tug o'war, preferably on the beach. You'll get tan and strong, and can collapse on the sand afterward.

5. Friendship Day: The first Sunday in August

Friendship Day is basically just a party. It's an opportunity to reconnect with your childhood best friend, OR make new friendships!

6. National Watermelon Day: August 3rd

Eat it, toss it, run with it tucked into your shirt—Watermelon Day exists to celebrate the many sides of watermelon. All of which are super fun.

When's the last time you really paid attention to your toes? On August 6th, move those toes around, let them see the light of day. Give your toes the love they crave all year long.

8. National Lighthouse Day: August 7th

This day is a beacon for beacons. Let's not take these guys for granted; lighthouses are historically pretty awesome. They keep sailors safe and they look really cool. Climb to the top of one on August 7th and feel important.

9. Sneak Some Zucchini Onto Your Neighbor's Porch Day: August 8th

A.K.A., chill out. Let go of your anxieties and "fly" by the seat of your pants! This day also commemorates the beginning of the end of summer (which has "flown" by).

Nothing beats a nice toasty marshmallow, best paired with a cool glass of iced tea.
