I know having a birthday on Thanksgiving every once in while isn't as bad as having a birthday that falls on Christmas every single year, but I'm still going to complain. It only falls on the fourth Thursday once every few years, but it's still a nuisance because it's just close enough to feel the effects of it.

Thanksgiving break and your birthday always matched up, so that even if your birthday wasn't on Thanksgiving, you still weren't taking an AP Macroeconomics test on your birthday.
