"It's almost Friday." These are everyone's favorite words to hear. People spend their lives longing for the weekend. Longing to relax or hang out with people they love. There is nothing wrong with loving the weekend, but there is something wrong with living only for the weekend.

The average human is given 28,470 days to live.There are seven days in a week. If you only enjoy the weekend, you only enjoy two days out of these seven. In other words, you only really live 8,112 days. What a waste of the other 20,300 days.

People get trapped doing things they hate. Us students wake up every day dreading to go to class. But life should not be dreadful. We were not created to dread life, we were created to have joy.

But how do you stop hating the everyday things like school that we just have to do? It is simple. It's all about perspective. Make the boring things in life fun. Find a joy and a purpose in the pointless things.

Maybe this means math class isn't just about math class anymore. Now, math class can be about the people you get to love on, the memories you get to make. Maybe this means you stop doing a job just for the money, and start doing something you really love. Truth be told, it's up to you. It is your 28,470 days. (Give or take a few.)

Psalm 39:4 states:

"LORD, remind me how brief my time on earth will be. Remind me that my days are numbered-- how fleeting my life is."

Your life is brief, your life is fleeting. Truth be told there is not much time to waste. Certainly not enough time to only be living about the weekend.
