Whatever you have to scream about, do it today. It’s Scream Day

Have you ever heard of Scream Day? Probably not because there are so many of these stupid ‘days of the year,’ they make me want to scream. So let’s do it. It’s the one day of the year where we can all let out our frustrations and scream at the top of our lungs! Yes, you heard that right. We scream, we shout, and we let it all out. Buckle up, my friend, because things are about to get loud!

Let's start with the basics. Scream Day is celebrated every year on April 27th. It's a day where we can all let out our frustrations and scream our heads off. Whether it's because you're stuck in traffic, you spilled coffee on your favorite shirt, you are beyond sick and tired of our corrupt government, you stepped in dog crap, or maybe you just need to release some pent-up energy, Scream Day is the perfect excuse to do so.

Now, you might be wondering how this holiday came about. Well, it's not entirely clear, but some sources say that it was created by a group of college students who were feeling stressed out during finals week. They decided to let off some steam by screaming in unison, and thus, Scream Day was born.

But enough about the history of the holiday, who really cares where it came from - let's get to the fun stuff. How can you celebrate Scream Day? Well, there are a few different ways you can participate. You can gather a group of friends and scream together, you can go to a designated Scream Day event. (they actually do exist), or you can simply scream like a lunatic on your own. Not too hard, right?

Now, let's talk about the benefits of screaming. Yes, you read that right. Screaming can actually be good for you! When you scream, your body releases endorphins, which can help reduce stress and improve your mood. It's a great way to let go of any negative emotions you may be holding onto.

But there are some downsides to screaming as well. For one thing, it can be pretty embarrassing if you're doing it in public. You might get some weird looks from strangers, or even worse, you might attract the attention of the police. So, it's important to be mindful of where and when you choose to scream.

Another potential downside of screaming is that it can be hard on your vocal cords. Don;t be surprised if you have a sore throat the next day.

So, how can you make your screams even more fun? One idea is to scream different words or phrases. For example, you could scream "I love ice cream!" or "I hate Mondays!" or "I'm a potato!" or “I hate Joe Biden!” The possibilities are endless, and it can be a fun way to mix things up.

You could also try screaming in different tones or pitches. You could do a high-pitched scream, a low-pitched scream, or even a silly scream. Just make sure not to hurt yourself in the process!

Now, let's talk about some of the funniest and most ridiculous screams you can do on Scream Day:

  1. The Opera Scream: Pretend you're a dramatic opera singer and let out a long, exaggerated scream. Bonus points if you throw in some hand gestures and dramatic facial expressions.

  2. The Cartoon Character Scream: Think of your favorite cartoon character and try to imitate their scream. You could do SpongeBob's signature "I'm ready!" scream or the classic "Woo hoo!" of Homer Simpson.

  3. The Silent Scream: This one might sound counterintuitive, but try screaming without making any noise. Open your mouth wide and let out a silent scream, as if you're in a horror movie.

  4. The Random Word Scream: Choose a random word, like "pickle" or "penguin", and scream it at the top of your lungs. It might sound silly, but it can be surprisingly cathartic.

  5. The Battle Cry Scream: Pretend you're a warrior charging into battle and let out a loud, fierce scream. This one might be best saved for the privacy of your own home!

  6. The Surprise Scream: Sneak up behind someone and let out a sudden scream to startle them. Just make sure they're okay with it first, and don't do this in a public place where you might scare someone who doesn't want to be scared.

Remember, the point of Scream Day is to let loose and have some fun. What are you going to scream?
