Being a college student the weekends are something I look forward to all the time. When Monday arrives I am always thinking to myself " Is it Friday yet?" While I know there are people out there who do not think like this, I also know I am not alone in looking forward to the weekend. So here are my five reasons why I look forward to the weekends.

1. I get to RELAX!

During the week I am legit always running around and most days do not make it back to my room until 7 p.m. at night. Of course, there are days when it is later but I try not to think about those days too much. Relaxation over the weekend to me are the best and I look forward to it.

2. Homework!

The weekend is the time when I really study and catch up on my homework. This makes me really happy because it allows me to catch up with my homework and be ahead in my classes. It also helps me to stay focus on my school work because I do not have classes, work, or other students to distract me which makes everything much better.

3. Sleeping In!

I know I am not alone when I say that I love sleeping in on the weekends. It feels nice not to have to wake up at a certain time or have certain responsibilities that prevent you from being able to sleep in during the day. I can go to bed as late as I want because of homework, and wake up late the next day if I need too. Sleeping is the absolute best and as a college student, I need it especially on the weekends.

4. Hang out with friends!

During the week I get extremely busy and sometimes feel like I never have time for my friends but luckily on the weekend, I get to see them and hang out with them. I also get to go off campus and chill with them or go see a movie with them. Whatever we do over the weekend I truly enjoy hanging out with my friends, and just spending quality time with them makes things a lot more bearable.

5. It's The Weekend!

The last and most obvious reason is simply because it is the weekend and for those two days and a night I pretty much have no worries or cares when it comes to being places, having meetings or going to classes. I get to just simply be normal, do homework, and just relax. I get to talk on the phone without worrying about class in the morning or hang out with my friends as late as I want. The only thing I have to do is homework and I tend to get that done relatively easy and quickly.

The weekends are my absolute favorite and I look forward to it all the time. I miss it a lot during the week, and I enjoy it to the fullest when it gets here.
