I've had people telling me all day that today, June 20th, is officially the happiest day of the year.

I'm cool with that. Why not? I mean, some day has to be the happiest, right? Here's an article that describes how some "academic" figured out the following formula:

According to the research this has been worked out using the equation O + (N xS) + Cpm/T + He.

O stands for being outdoors and outdoor activity, N is connection with nature, which is in full bloom now, S is socialisation with neighbours and friends, Cpm stands for childhood positive memories, T is the mean temperature which is now usually warm, and He is holiday expected.

Here's the kicker though. Any guesses to the most depressing day of the year, based on this same equation?

My birthday. The end of January.

Today is no longer the happiest day of the year in my book. Stupid academics...
