The day I started my intro to audiology class. I was 100% convinced to find a career other than my major. Then I took that class my junior year. My life would have taken a totally different path otherwise.
Then agreeing to do online dating for one month. H was the one and only guy I met.
This is perhaps morose but in light of some of the previous answers I can't say I can think of a single day that had or ever will have more of an impact on me.
April 20, 1999. (Columbine shooting - I was there) my experience has very likely literally had an impact on the most (all?) major choices I've made since then. Even down to my h. I have a hard time connecting with people and he had a friend who died and I remember thinking "he might get it a little" and gave him a real shot. My schools, my career, etc etc.
The day I realized an ex-bf was going to kill me if I stayed. I didn't leave that day, but I realized that I had lost myself and that I had to figure out how to get out. I will never forget that moment.
I hate this answer, but the day that keeps popping into my head is the day I was diagnosed with my genetic disorder. It wasn't a happy day, but it's the day a doctor actually said there was something very wrong with me, and that it wasn't all in my head. I can't even begin to explain what a relief that was.
The day I realized my mother had a pill addiction.
It explains a lot of my childhood, and after taking her to the ER three times in as many weeks last summer, has forever changed how I view her. Not the addition itself, but her acting as a victim and never accepting any ownership of how she got there. I assume she knows that I know about her past at this point, but she's never once talked to me about it.

I'm not sure about the most important, but the best day of my life was the birth of my 2nd child. (carrotsmakemefat, there ya go!) It was more special than the birth of my first child because introducing my daughter to her baby sister was the best moment of my life.
I wish I could say the day I solved a Rubik's cube, but I never ever solved one. Ever. I'm also crap at that peg jumping game they have at pancake houses.
Eta: I will be less cynical. The day I started law school, because that's also the day I met my husband (known then as "that tall guy who shaves his head and seems to be standing right next to me everywhere I go"). It was a culmination of a lot of things for me, and the start of something (somethings) new.

The day I finally yelled "stop!" when my dad was hurting my mom. It was the first time she called the police. As a little girl, I realized I had a voice and it was more powerful than my dad let me believe.
And the day DD2 was born. Our family was complete.
