Fourth of July [1] is. So. Much. Fun. I would even venture to say it's my favorite holiday. What is it about all that red, white, and blue that gets me so pumped? Maybe it's the tons of barbecue or getting to see old friends again, but it's such a nostalgic and patriotic holiday. If Independence Day is an obsession of yours too, you'll totally understand the following things to be true.

The week before Fourth of July, the anticipation drives you nuts.

Maybe it's all the barbecued hot dogs . . .

Or the fireworks show you get to watch at the end of the day . . .

But you love the holiday so much, you think it's better than Christmas.

When your town parade starts, you get super into it.

You might as well be in the parade since you're so decked out in red, white, and blue.

Even your nails are Fourth of July on fleek.

Your entire house is decked out to look like a patriotic wonderland.

In the end, you're just pumped to have all your friends and family in one place.
