WOO we get an extra day this year. An entire 24-hours to do anything you would like. A freebie day. A second chance. An actual birthday for some of you.
What are you going to this fine day of February 29th?
Work. Because it is a DANG MONDAY.
Not only will you work (or go to class) but it is a Monday on top of all of this. We get to waste our special extra day on the worst day of the week. Our 366th day is wasted on hating the world.
But if you’re going to sit there on an extra day of the year, you may as well know a few interesting facts about it.
Here’s what you did not know about Leap Year:
1. It takes the earth a little bit less than 365 ΒΌ days (365.242 days) to orbit the Sun (solar year). For this reason, the full day is only added once every four years. Gross, math. 
2. Women are [allowed or] encouraged to propose to men on Leap Year…guess it’s good luck or something? So, in other words, Leap Year is a feminist holiday.
3. There is a 1 in 1,461 chance a child will be born on Leap Year. So if you’re a Leapling, you should probably never gamble.
4. People with annual or fixed salaries actually don’t get paid for the extra day…work for free? No thank you. Power to the unemployed post-grads!
5. Two important things happen every year there is a Leap Year: a presidential election and the summer Olympics. We have an extra day to watch the shenanigans of election season; aren’t we lucky?!
