So we are officially in the month of February, by far the worst month ever. Yes, there is Valentine's day and what not, but there are way too many negative sides to February that outweigh the good things.
For example, February is 28 days. It is the shortest month of the year. So, when you hear that you think that the month will fly by. In reality, though, it's only two or three days shorter than every other month--or less on a leap year--so when we continually expect the month to fly by, it makes it feel that much longer.
Not to mention, February is FebruANY month at Subway. This is the month where every. single. footlong. is just $5 dollars. First of all, this is the deal of the century. Second of all, I am going to spend hundreds of dollars on them. Therefore, this month is the worst because I am going to end the month extremely broke from all the money I spent on Subway.
Along with this Subway binge, another problem about February is that it is the month right before Spring Break. This means that you have a little less than a month and a half to get into tip-top shape before embarking on your fabulous vacation. The first conflict is as stated above, how are you expected to turn away Subway all month? Secondly, you haven't gone to the gym all year, how are you expected to shed all this weight and get a killer bod in a month and a half? The answer is a month of celery sticks and greek yogurt. This is the month you can't eat any of your favorite foods and actually have to force yourself to go to the gym everyday in preparation for Spring Break. This is obviously a big reason to hate February.
Speaking of which, it is the first full month back from school too, and the month we do not have any breaks in between January and March. This is the month of having your first test of the semester, your first paper due of the semester, and the month you are expected to get your sh*t together because it is not longer January and you should be in the swing of things. What a drag.
Last but definitely not least, February is absolutely freezing. Yes, we have other cold months but February is by far the worst. December is cold, but this is the point in the year we expect the cold, hope for snow, and accept the freezing weather. We cuddle up next to hot cocoa and watch Christmas movies while enjoying the beautiful snowy scenery outside. Then January comes and everyone is home for break which means you rarely have to leave your house and if you do, your warm and toasty car is there to take you places. In February, however, you have to walk to class. The snow is an ugly collection of dirt and ice on the side of the road, and you are so over the cold by this point. Not to mention the fact that there always seems to be one more heavy, unexpected, unwelcome blizzard every year in February.
So, for these reasons I motion a vote to get rid of February all together. Can we just skip straight from January to March, please? Who needs February, anyway?
