Today is the most Depressing Day of the Year
January 16th is the most depressing day of 2017.
Dr. Cliff Arnall figured out that the most depressing day of the year always falls on a Monday in January, and this year, it's today. His formula is based on a bunch of factors, including: the weather, holiday happiness wearing off, people failing on their New Year's resolutions, credit card bills from December arriving in the mail and people realizing that they won't be taking time off from work for a long time.
