10 Reasons Why You Should Begin To Love Mondays

It's Sunday night and you're snuggled up on the couch watching reruns of your favorite show, while eating your favorite kind of ice cream, right out of the pint. You're loving life. Until you remember what this means. That tomorrow is Monday and your life is inevitably going to get a lot worse when your alarm wakes you up in less than 8 hours. Well, what if I told you that there's many reasons to stop feeling so negatively about Mondays? Here's ten!

1. You have a clean slate.

Whatever regrets you have from the weekend, say goodbye to them all! The shopping trip to the mall that cost you a little too much of your paycheck? Or the extra indulgent piece of cake you ate at your little cousin's birthday party? Monday is the start of a new week, so take advantage of it!


2. Great opportunity to find your motivation again.

Get up, get moving, and do whatever it is that motivates you to have the best week yet!

3. Perfect time to set new goals.

Been wanting to try something new? Or maybe even stop a bad habit you can't seem to break? Monday is your day to get on track with reaching your goals!

4. You have a whole week to accomplish what you want to get done.

Don't let all of the week's mundane tasks get you down. You have five beautiful days to do everything you need to get done before the weekend, from paying bills and washing the dog, to scrubbing the bathroom tile and pulling weeds in the garden.

5. A killer workout to start your week will leave you feeling invincible.

One of the greatest things you can do for yourself at the beginning of the week is get active. It's great to see what amazing things your body can do when you push yourself!

6. Coffee tastes best on Monday mornings.

Grabbing your favorite go-to drink from Starbucks on the way to work or class has never tasted so good.

7. All of the best tv shows are on.

The Bachelor is all I've got to say about this one.

8. Great day to start planning for next weekend's adventures!

If last weekend's plans weren't as exhilarating as you had hoped they'd be, start making plans for this weekend that will go beyond your expectations!

9. The idea of hating Mondays is only an illusion.

Monday is just another day! It's crazy to live life hating 1/7 of it. Change your attitude!

10. It's a beautiful day to be you!

Be happy to be living and grateful that you get to experience such a wonderful day!


Happy Monday! It's a great day to celebrate!

18 Things I Want To Do Now That I'm 18

I'm technically an adult, so I'm legally required to live a little, right?

For the entirety of my high school career, I was always seen as the goody-two-shoes. I never got in trouble with a teacher, I kept stellar grades, and when I wasn't doing extracurricular activities, I was at home studying. Even when I did go out, it was usually with a bunch of fellow band geeks. The night would end before 11:00 PM and the only controversial activity would be a fight based on who unfairly won a round of Apples-to-Apples when someone else clearly had a better card (I promise I'm not still holding a grudge).

Now that I'm officially an adult, I want to pursue some new things. I want to experience life in a way that I never allowed myself to do prior to entering college. These are the years that I'm supposed to embark on a journey of self-discovery, so what better way to do that than to create a bucket list?

So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.
