Today Is The First Day of Spring

Today is the first day of Spring. We greet the first day of the new season with the spring equinox. The equinox marks the moment when the sun crosses the celestial equator. This is the imaginary line in the sky above the Earth’s equator, from south to north. The spring equinox happens on March 19th, 20th, or 21st every year in the Northern Hemisphere. The Gregorian Calendar accounts for this by adding an extra day—the leap day—almost every 4 years. This means that each March equinox occurs about 6 hours later than the previous year’s March equinox. This is why the date of the equinox can change from year to year.

Friday is International Day for Achievers

Friday is the International Day for Achievers. Every year on March 24th, the International Day for Achievers celebrates achievers and their strong sense of purpose and confidence.When a person achieves something, it means they have carried out something successfully. Numerous studies show that chasing success in something has great benefits. So go chase yourself an achievement. Live life with a sense of purpose. You will be rewarded if you do!

Friday is St. Patrick’s Day. This is a day that has been celebrated by many people for hundreds of years, and in particular, Irish people for over 1, 000 years. The general history of this day is that there was a man named Patrick who taught people how to live life well. When Patrick died, he was made a saint. People celebrate St. Patrick’s Day by wearing green and eating corned beef. So wear your green this Friday, Wildcats.
