February is a month that a lot of people probably do not really look forward to. After all, it is usually cold and relatively uneventful except for Valentine's Day, the Superbowl, and Groundhog Day. However, for those of us with a birthday during this Winter month, it is actually a good thing!
Having a February birthday means that your birthday is never overshadowed by those major holidays like Christmas, Thanksgiving, Halloween, the Fourth of July, or Easter. This is a great thing because your birthday can be the main focus. Having a February birthday also breaks up that late Winter/ early Spring stretch that has no major holidays. It makes Winter a little less boring and bearable. The chance for snow on your birthday is also pretty high but there was nothing better growing up than getting a snow day on your birthday.
February birthdays are also less common than many other months, so you are less likely to find someone who has your birthday. Also, since February birthdays occur so early in the year, students with birthdays in February are usually older than most of their classmates and get to celebrate their birthdays before their peers usually do.
Overall, I love having a February birthday and being an Aquarius. February is a great time for a birthday even though the weather does not always cooperate. However, I always get to see my friends and family which is the most important part of any birthday. Even the chance of snow cannot ruin a February birthday!
