To Everyone With A Summer Birthday, From A Low-Key Jealous Fall Baby

When you have a fall or winter birthday all the celebrations are kinda lumped together.

To Everyone With A Summer Birthday, From A Low-Key Jealous Fall Baby

I am low-key jealous of all the people with summer birthdays (as a person with a fall birthday) because you get to celebrate something over the summer.

When you have a fall or winter birthday all the celebrations are kinda lumped together: Halloween, Thanksgiving, Christmas, which can be a blessing and a curse. Sure summer has things like vacations and I guess Fourth of July, but it doesn't compare to the endless holidays during the colder months.

This being said, the summer birthdays get to have their celebrations (and gifts/money) spread out throughout the year and, just when you get out of school and think you are broke, your birthday comes up and you are loaded.

My November birthday, on the other hand, comes right before Thanksgiving, after Halloween, and a little before Christmas. Talk about a busy couple of months, then after that, it's like nothing happens until October rolls around again.

Although it is kinda fun, having everything together at the same time, as it is my favorite time of the year.

Summer birthdays, I have a question for you. Do you like the summer or winter time better? I am just curious because usually, people enjoy their birthday season the most, right?

I actually don't know if that is true, but it is for me. I guess growing up having parties would be different too because you could do things outside, maybe go to the pool or beach.

See, I never had that.

My party was either "Harry Potter" themed, which is kinda a Christmasy movie, or me and my friends drinking hot chocolate and making ornaments or something. So, summer birthdays just remember you are kinda lucky.

New year, new semester, not the same old thing. This semester will be a semester to redeem all the mistakes made in the previous five months.

1. I will wake up (sorta) on time for class.

Let's face it, last semester you woke up with enough time to brush your teeth and get to class and even then you were about 10 minutes late and rollin' in with some pretty unfortunate bed head. This semester we will set our alarms, wake up with time to get ready, and get to class on time!

And so it begins.

1. Walk in motivated and ready to rock

Camping out at the library is not for the faint of heart. You need to go in as a warrior. You usually have brought supplies (laptop, chargers, and textbooks) and sustenance (water, snacks, and blanket/sweatpants) since the battle will be for an undetermined length of time. Perhaps it is one assignment or perhaps it's four. You are motivated and prepared; you don’t doubt the assignment(s) will take time, but you know it couldn’t be that long.
