6 Things That Rock About St. Patrick’s Day

This article is written by a student writer from the Her Campus at Fairfield chapter.

Whether you come from Irish decent or not, everyone celebrates St. Patrick’s Day. St. Patty’s Day has become a universal holiday for just about everyone, regardless of your nationality. Here are just a few reasons this festive holiday absolutely rocks.

1. Beer, Beer and More Beer!

If you are looking for an excuse to drink lots and lots of beer, St. Patty’s Day is your go-to.

2.  Day Drinks and Parades

St. Patrick’s Day gives us a reason to march around town in the middle of the day while drinking, because it’s probably 5 o’clock somewhere.

3. Corned Beef and Cabbage

Honestly, who wants to eat cabbage? Many of us despise the smelly wanna-be vegetable that looks like lettuce. However, when it is paired with corned beef, it’s a whole different story.

4. It’s A Weekend Long Event

No matter what day of the week St. Patrick’s falls on, the holiday gets carried on through the weekend, giving you more time to celebrate.

5. There Is A Good Chance You’ll Get Lucky This Weekend

You know, with all of the leprechauns that will be out, maybe you’ll find your pot of gold at the end of the rainbow.

6. It’s Time For Sham Jam

And of course, St. Patrick’s Day rocks because it is the start of point days again. As Fairfield U students, we love point days, especially themed ones.

Happy St. Patrick’s Day!
