After a long week of studying for exams, completing lab assignments, and preparing for presentations the weekend finally rolls around. Saturdays are usually spent exploring, meeting up with friends, and staying up late. But it is Sunday that my heart really looks forward to, the most peaceful day, full of sleep, cuddles, and Netflix. Here are the essentials to having a fabulous Sunday that will leave you rejuvenated for the next week:
1. Sleeping in past 9AM
There is only one right way to start a Sunday morning: with no alarm clock and definitely not before 9a.m..
2. Drinking A Warm Beverage
Multiple cups of tea, coffee, and hot chocolate are essential for a Sunday. Start up that Keurig, or wander to your campus's closest cafe or down the street to your favorite coffee stop, Starbucks or Dunkin'?
3. Wearing Comfy Clothes and Blankets
The perfect outfit to accompany your warm beverage of choice includes fuzzy socks, sweat pants, college t-shirts, and blankets. Cozy up in bed or the couch with your mug in hand, your laptop, and your latest Netflix crush.
4. Doing Laundry
Although doing laundry is my secret obsession and favorite hobby, it's not everyone's favorite. Sunday is the perfect day to get ahead on your laundry and be sure that you don't run out of socks by Wednesday morning. Pull your favorite sweatshirt right out the dryer and snuggle in for the night with your favorite book or maybe your Calculus homework (sigh).
5. Ordering Delivery
Who wants to leave the couch or bed on a Sunday for sub-par dining hall food? Not any college student that I know. The perfect solution is ordering delivery directly to your dorm. Panera is a personal favorite, especially a warm cup of soup on a Fall Sunday.
6. Watching Football
Grab your friends and tune in to your favorite team on Sunday, struggle to pay attention through the 3rd quarter, and eat an abundance of mini Reese's peanut butter cups.
Take the time, while you are lounging in bed, holding your mug of tea, wrapped up in your blankets, waiting for your laundry to be done and your takeout to arrive, while watching football, to be thankful for what you accomplished the week before and to prepare for what the next week will bring. You will be thanking yourself on Tuesday afternoon. Happy Sunday's to all!
