My Way Day
Did your mother ever used to tell you when you were a teenager that the world does not revolve around you? Well today it does!
Today is My Way Day, the official day to do everything your way. Sleep in late, eat whatever you want, and take the longest, hottest shower that you can stand. Whatever you decide to do, make sure that no one else influences your decisions today. Do everything simply just because you want to do it (but just make sure it's legal first).
There are many events throughout history that occurred on Februarty 17. In 1867, the first ship passed through the Suez Canal. In 1933, Newsweek Magazine published its first issue. In 1996, NASA orbited and landed on an asteroid for the first time.
All of these events were able to occur because someone had a brilliant idea and followed through on it, their way. Today is also the birthday of Paris Hilton, who is notorious for wanting to do everything her way. So don't be afraid to express your ideas today, stand up for what you believe in, and do everything your own way!
This week is International Flirting Week
