It is the month of August. Everyone is soaking in their last month of summer before the dreaded school days return. This is also the last moth of the summer babies! Exciting, right? Alas the time of our birth, like everyone else's, it, too, comes with its own dreaded downfalls. As early as our toddler years, we discover the subtle ways being an August baby could betray us in a way that no other time of year can. If you were born smack dab in the middle of the hottest month of the year, then you're probably all too familiar with the struggles of this month:

1. You are always, always, always the youngest in your class.

I was 16 going into my senior year of high school.

2. You birthday is usually the first day back to school.

Which means no birthday cupcakes for you because no one knew you.

3. It is impossible to actually plan a date to celebrate your birthday.

Everyone is either out of town for vacation, or at work. It is difficult to plan your birthday accordingly.

4. Your birthday is forgotten constantly.

It's summer time. Everyone is out of town and doing their own thing and people lose track of what day it is. Here's to hoping it's not your family again this year.

5. Having a pool party will never be an option.

It's August and hot. Naturally you would like to cool off and go to the pool to celebrate your day of birth. However that is also every single person on the planet's idea as well. Not only that, but you also have those parents who want to take their children somewhere fun before school starts. So for your birthday, you are now sweaty and alone.

6. It's so hot.

This is not what I wished for I promise.

7. All your presents are summer related.

Another beach towel. Thank you. I always wanted another one of these.

8. Your birthday meant back to school week for your classmates.

Now you are really not getting that birthday cupcake.

9. Birthday parties never go as planned.

Either a small number of people showed up, or it was too hot to do anything so you were stuck inside. There was no in between.

10. Everything's fine, though.

Just #TreatYoSelf and grab some cake and just relax, that's all we can do.
