Make a Friend Day and White T-Shirt Day


Another good morning, another day for celebrating.

Today is Make a Friend Day. There are old friends, new friends, best friends, and frenemies (those are the worst.) But what’s important is they are your friends. And making friends is the best part of friends; learning new things about them every time you meet up, pulling yourself deeper and deeper into each other’s lives. Use this day to try and make friends by getting out there; go to the park, go to the community center, go to the arcade, the gym, anywhere, but try to make a connection with people and make some friends. Remember “A person isn’t made rich by the amount of money they have, but by the friends and accomplishments they’ve made in life.”

The holiday for today is White T-shirt Day. This may sound like a simple holiday but there’s more to it. White T-shirt Day was made in 1937 to show appreciation to all the people who took part in the sit-down strike at General Motors. The workers got help from United Auto Workers union and became the sole bargaining agent for General Motors autoworkers. Many people don’t know of this day except for those you were connected to the event, but that doesn’t mean you can’t celebrate it. So make sure you wear your best white t-shirt or blouse.

So make sure you have a nice day today and hope the friends in your life are happy too.
