Yes, it is National Pot Smokers Day, April 20th. However, this only started in the early 70s but is now a counterculture holiday. A group of high school students in California used the number 420 as a code for "time to smoke pot." These students, called the Waldos, would go to the same wall at 4:20 pm to smoke. On a more historical front on this day, the Civil Rights Act of 1871 became a law, Adolf Hitler was born in 1889, and the Columbine massacre happened in 1999. What can I say? I'm a history major :)
This day reminds me of all the changes I have gone though in the past 2 years at Roberts. I don't participate in any of the stuff I used to when I was in high school. Now, I look back and think about how stupid I was. There are so many more important things in life than trying to be the cool kid. My friends here have helped me see that none of that is important. They helped lead me to God and I know that there is no turning back. I am comforted by the fact that there is no turning back.
I am not the person I used to be.
