    Have you considered that not every month is the same length? If you're going to be specific, count months as periods of four weeks (the most common generalization for the length of a month) and go from there.
    Turned 21 on October 4
    +4 Weeks=November 4
    +4 Weeks=December 2
    +4 Weeks=December 30
    +4 Weeks=January 27
    +4 Weeks=February 24
    +4 Weeks=March 24

    So it was 5 months on February 24, and will be 6 months on March 24.

    I go by dates, not weeks.

    For example, my birthday is once a year. November 8, 2012 to November 8, 2013 would be one year.

    Well, you can use your scale where the length of a month can change and I'll prove that consistency is key in measurements.

    One year is 52.1775 weeks.

    7 months have 31 days, one month has 28 days, and other 4 have 30 days. Let's take each month and make them all as equal as possible.

    If we reduce each of the 31 day months to 30 days, we'll have 1 extra week. Now remove two of those to account for the missing days in February. That gives us 12 30 day months with 5 days left over.

    Maybe we'll be better off going in the other direction. Let's take each month and reduce it to 28 days. We'll remove 3 days from each of the seven 31 day months (3*7=21) and two days from the four 30 day months (4*2=8). Add those together (21+8=, and we'll have 29 extra days, which means we'll have 13 months of 28 days and one day left over. That's 365 days. Add in the extra quarter of a day and we have a much more consistent calender consisting of 13 months and an extra 1.25 days to celebrate the transition to the next year.

    Now I just need to find a way to implement this new system. Amaury, you know how to make people look at your pointless threads! Use your powers for good and help me implement this new datekeeping paradigm all over the world!

    Was actually crying because growing up is literally the most terrifying thing I can think of, especially considering I'm graduating this semester as well.

    I watched Tangled again though, and I feel a little better now though, I think.

    Don't you remember what the Doctor said about growing up? There's no point if you can't still act like a kid!

    Anyway, BRB, making a ****** stick figure comic to make you feel better.
