Whether you hate your roommate, have a stack of midterms or are just stressed out – today is for you. It’s “Get Over It Day,” the annual holiday meant to prove your life isn’t all that bad after all.

Jeff Goldblatt, creator of GOID, also created Rejectionhotline.com – a site that offers phone numbers to give someone who is relentlessly asking for your digits.

Despite the holiday being relatively new, Brittany Benson, senior in marketing, believes it makes total sense to celebrate.

“I think it’s a fantastic idea,” Benson said. “It’s true, everyone has something to get over.”

The very first GOID, which took place March 9, 2006, caught Goldblatt by surprise.

“Once others had sent thousands and thousands of e-mails about what they were getting over, I knew everyone could embrace GOID,” he said.

Goldblatt strategically chose this day to celebrate the holiday, because it is directly in between Valentine’s Day and April Fool’s Day.

“I’ve chosen this day as a day to encourage people to keep a smile on their face,” Goldblatt said.

Today is for people to get over particular situations with the combination of humor and support, however, Goldblatt realizes some people need to get over their problems in a serious manner.

“It depends on the situation at hand,” Goldblatt said. “But I, in general, keep a smile on my face – I tend to follow GetOverItDay.com’s slogan ‘It could always suck more.'”

Dominic Noll, junior in management information systems, has embraced Goldblatt’s theory of humor, as he intends to wear tight pants to show off his body.

“I’m coming to terms with the fact that I have to get over my flat a—,” Noll said.

Although some may deal with their problems by going to a movie or concert, those who are 21 and over can flock to the local bars for some healing of their own.
