#GTownTrending: St. Patrick’s Day

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

Congratulations! You have survived America’s wildest holiday: St. Patrick’s Day. This week is the time to recuperate. Yes, it will probably take a full week. After what was probably a whirlwind of activity and a flurry of green, St. Patrick’s Day is sadly over, but the hazy memories of the marathon of a day will live on in Facebook pictures and regretful bumps and bruises. Some of us made it all the way to Rhino, while others hit the sack a tad bit earlier than expected. Whatever the case, St. Patrick’s Day was a great excuse to whip out that green shirt you own but would never actually wear – because who really looks that good in anything emerald anyway? Here are some fun things to help you procrastinate this week. They’ll help take your mind off your work and send it traveling back to the weekend you wish never had to end.

Who is St. Patrick anyway? Have you ever wondered why we even celebrate this day? This website will give you some surprising answers and interesting facts:

This is quite possibly one of the most outrageous news stories ever covered. While you watch it you can’t help but ask – wait really? REALLY?

In the spirit of laughter and having a good time, this tumblr account comes to mind. It has been blowing up Facebook recently and is a great way to waste a little (or a lot of time) on the Internet.
