Admit it, you almost couldn’t resist…
You wanted to high-five that well dressed guy or gal who you saw at the bus stop. No sense in denying…we know you wanted to. 
Originating in the University of Virginia in 2002, National High Five Day is the day when you can feel free to high-five passerby without having to feel like a weirdo. Ok, you probably will feel like an oddball considering very few people know about this new holiday. But I am doing my part to spread the word so perhaps one day, people will come out of their shells on the third Thursday of every April to high-five friends and strangers alike – and perhaps meet some new people along the way.
Imagine that while on your way to class, you pass a dignified looking middle-aged man in a suit. You, of course, are wearing the same underwear as yesterday, a pair of pants off your floor, and a T-shirt with something ironic printed on it. Instead of noticing this respectable pillar of society fifteen seconds or so before your interaction is fated to occur, and lowering your head to avoid his disapproving scowl, you take another course of action. You confidently walk forward, and at the moment of passing, you and the businessman simultaneously raise your hands and wordlessly high-five. The sound of the perfect high five resonates, causing those nearby to silently and enviously take notice. You both walk on, and likely relate the story to whomever you eat dinner with that night. There is no reason why this should not happen with alarming frequency.Link: National High Five Day
