Have any of you guys been feeling down these last few days? I sure have. I may have found the reason why. Scientists from Cardiff University came across a formula that marks January 23 as the most depressing day of the year. I am assuming that the days in proximity to the 23rd must also be equally difficult or at least mathematically happier days by small fractions. This equation conflicts with my earlier position of Valentines Day being the most depressing based on it's historically high suicide rates.
Anyone suffered a difficult 23rd of January?
On the 23rd, I woke up late, found out that all of my loan applications would need to be resubmitted, worked 12 hours, felt lonely, worried about finances-books-school supplies-rent, made sh*t money, and lastly, love and I crossed paths a few hours apart. It's memory was unwanted and yet, I hated every missed second of it.
Formula:
1/8W+(D-d) 3/8xTQ MxNA
W= Weather, D= Debt, T= time since Christmas, Q= Failure to quit a bad habit
M= Motivational levels NA= The need to take action and do something about it
Hmm...I don't remember the 23rd? Sad, cuz it was only a few days ago! Look at it this way, I believe your going to visit family soon right? Grandpa is still in town? You need to go visit family. This will recharge your battery in anticipation for what awaits with school (which is the best thing you could have done!). We all need a recharge here n' there. I'm heading down to Florida myself on sunday for a week to recharge n' prepare for finals which await for me when I return. I don't care how "cold" it is down there, my ass will be laying by my girls pool with my Economics Txtbk in hand! I'm sick of equations!! why does life have to be an equation?
Hang in there bud, pray and todo sale bien man..I been there too pero todo happens for a reason. Keep the faith and never give up man. Smile.
really? i didnt know...
i got really depressed yesterday for some reason!! thats interesting
I know how you feel and it gets better, believe me!
And like The Pizza Boy said, coming to Miami to visit your family will definetely help, you'll be able to relax and recharge. Always take it one day at a time. "Relax, Relate, Release!"
Yu,
What's up? I know I have not posted much, but I too, am feeling the scourges of life: solitude, loathing, the desire to make six figures, overwhelming requirements from my grad program, and trying to move on. Anyway, give me a buzz. Let's talk! Maybe we can support one another! Hope to hear from you soon.

January 23rd is my birthday. So, I was pretty happy. And, I am pretty certain that the Cardiff researches found that January 24th was the most depressing day of the year... So, your January 23rd sucked for some other reason.
Travis,
I am happy to hear that your Jan 23rd birthday was a good one. Actually, I had an o.k. one myself. It didn't "suck" but it could have been better. I was just highlighting the least favorable aspects of that day.
Regarding your assurance of Cardiff University's equation, a Google search might change that. Notice that the search results either mention the 23rd or the 24th. You decide either way the 23rd or 24th ca't be that "statistically" better. A cause for celebration on such date is a very fortunate thing. Good blessing.
