Birthdays are always an exciting time of the year. People count down the days until they turn a year older and cannot wait to celebrate with their friends. Here are some perks to having a birthday that falls in the summer.

1. School will never be on your birthday.

You are more likely able to celebrate your birthday on the actual day because there are no "school nights." You also will never have to take a test or be in class on your birthday which is always a good thing.

2. The weather is nice.

You can travel to the nearest beach because the weather will be nice enough and possibly too hot. Although it would be worse if it rained on your birthday.

3. All your friends will be home.

Whether it is coming home from college or just another summer at home, people will be more free to do something for your birthday. It is always a downer when some of your friends are unable to come.

4. You will never have to compete with a holiday.

Your birthday will never be on Halloween, Thanksgiving, Christmas, or New Years. It may be on the Fourth of July but that will be a fun day to celebrate with friends.

5. Day trips are easy to plan.

You can turn your birthday into a day of fun by doing what you want to do all day. Also your birthday might overlap with a vacation which could be a lot of fun.

6. No responsibilities.

If you do not work or you are not taking summer classes, you ultimately do not have any responsibilities which means you can relax stress free.

7. It is in the middle of the year.

You do not have to mash Christmas with your birthday because they are perfectly spread apart throughout the year.
