it's january 1, 2023. i had a calendar and wanted to mark how the day was out of 5 stars. 1 star = horrible, 2 stars = bad, 3 stars = average/decent, 4 stars = good, 5 stars = great. then i did it for the next day, and every day after for the whole of 2023. i did the same in 2024. now we can see how the years compare to each other.
mind you, the graph is charted such that the minimum begins at 3.0 and the max is 3.9.
so here's some fun facts.
- Top 3 months, 2023: Oct, Jul, May/Jun
- Worst 3 months, 2023: Jan, Dec, Aug
- 2023 overall: 3.37
- Top 3 months, 2024: Oct, Jan/May, Jun
- Worst 3 months, 2024: Dec, Apr, Mar
- 2024 overall: 3.34
- October is usually the best month of the year, and so is June and May.
- December is usually one of the worst months of the year.
and yet as i was making this, i thought: why is it that aug 2023 was the worst month of its year? it had a rating of 3.02, which is actually ranked as "decent," so why would i call it the worst? here's the problem. the scores were used to rate how each DAY was out of 5 stars. but many things can happen in one month, so the scores may not be so useful for rating an entire month. honestly, i would have called aug 2023 a 2.0 stars. it was a bad month, but not terrible. so if i were to more holistically rate the months of 2023 and 2024 based not on a rate meant for days, but more meant for months, i'd have this:
and yeah, looks better visually seeing how also on a scale of 0-5 how each month was. makes sense. better in the early summer and october.
