Today, January 25th, 2023, also happens to be Opposite Day! No, that day isn’t just made up by kids, it’s an actual National Day. Any no is a yes, and any yes is a no. Breakfast is dinner and dinner is breakfast. Everything is its opposite, and at any point in the day, you can take advantage of doing things the opposite way and having an excuse (obviously for less important things, not tests, nor anything jeopardizing anyone’s safety).
Opposite Day began as a children’s playground game. Beginning in the early 1900s, kids would have fun saying the opposite of what they meant and then pretending it was “Opposite Day.” Today, it is very rarely treated as a National Day, and is seldom recognized as real. Be the change, if you will, and celebrate today as Opposite Day, instead of a regular thursday.

About the Contributor
Violet Simpson
Violet Simpson, Arts and Culture Editor
Violet Simpson is an aspiring writer who enjoys anything pink and vintage. Her favorite type of food is Japanese, despite being raised in the deep south. Violet was born in Birmingham, Alabama surrounded by her family, until her father got his dream job offer and moved to La Crescenta. She loves to write fiction with aspects of fantasy and horror stories, but when writing non-fiction, a simple research paper is her default. Since moving she’s become quite attached to the city, but still takes every chance she can to go and visit her family back south.
