No one remembers your birthday

Everyone is so consumed with the holiday and their holiday plans they forget all about your birthday. People are thinking so much about everything going on in their life, and stuff that needs to be done for the holidays that they forget about you. Plus, since you’re usually on break most people from school don’t remember either.

You never get to do what you want to do

With it being the holidays, you have so many family obligations that your time is not your own. You have to spend time with your family which is not always a bad thing but spending a day that is supposed to be your day listening to your extended family constantly asking you if you’ve met a nice guy isn’t the way I would want to spend my day.

You don’t get birthday cake

Especially if it falls on Thanksgiving or Christmas when all the desserts are themed on the holiday. Everyone loves cake, like why do you have to take one of my favorite things away on my birthday.

All your friends are with their families

On a day where you are hoping to maybe at least have a friend get together whether it is on the actual day or not it is basically impossible with the amount of time they have to spend with their families. So getting to spend time with your besties is not going to happen.

Combination gifts

A lot of the time people try to skip out on getting you a birthday present and get you a combination present for your birthday and Christmas (if your birthday is close enough).

You aren’t in the spotlight

Isn’t your birthday supposed to be about you? Instead, your birthday gets overshadowed by the clearly more superior holiday involved.
