A Bad Case of the Mondays

Mondays are hard.

A Bad Case of the Mondays

There's something about the weekend, the fun, the sleep, and the few minutes to relax that makes Mondays suck that much more than any other day of the week. 

Of all seven, there is no day that compares to the struggle that is a Monday. Why? Because there's no foreseeable end. 

Nobody looks forward to Tuesdays (because let's be real, they kinda suck too), Hump Day is still two days away and Friday is basically a lifetime away. SO you're stuck trying to survive your dreaded Monday with nothing to keep you going.

You spent the weekend happy, staying up until 3 a.m. and sleeping until noon. You laid in bed watching TV for hours on end. You ignored your responsibilities, and then BOOM. A Monday.

You haven't touched your book bag in three days and you've got 120 pages of reading and a report due. Your clothes are all dirty (because who has time for laundry on the weekend), so you have to wear one dirty sock and and a too-small t-shirt from your high school homecoming. Your books are all over your room, your computer is dead and you realize you are out of milk after you pour a bowl of cereal. 

Not to mention, you haven't gotten out of bed before 1 p.m. since Friday, and all of the sudden your 9 a.m. happens. 

Monday. 

Of course it's cold/rainy/snowing/there are gale force winds. Obviously you didn't come outside with a coat or umbrella and the bus is already there...

If anything can go wrong, it'll go wrong on a Monday. It's the universe's way of punishing us for all our wrongdoings over the previous 48 hours.  

Walk a little faster, drink an extra cup of coffee and think about how comfortable your bed is going to be as soon as you get done with class.

Because once you survive your Monday, you're one day closer to the weekend. 

And also one day closer to another Monday...

"Friends" maybe didn’t have everything right or realistic all the time, but they did have enough episodes to create countless reaction GIFs and enough awesomeness to create, well, the legacy they did. Something else that is timeless, a little rough, but memorable? Living away from the comforts of home. Whether you have an apartment, a dorm, your first house, or some sort of residence that is not the house you grew up in, I’m sure you can relate to most of these!

There is nothing quite like family.

Family is kinda like that one ex that you always find yourself running back to (except without all the regret and the angsty breakup texts that come along with it).

No matter how long your class is, there's always time for the mind to wander. Much like taking a shower or trying to fall asleep, sitting in a classroom can be a time when you get some of your best ideas. But, more than likely, you're probably just trying to mentally cope with listening to a boring lecturer drone on and on. Perhaps some of the following Aristotle-esque thoughts have popped into your head during class.

Bob's Burgers
Adult Swim

Bob's Burgers is arguably one of the best and most well-written shows on tv today. That, and it's just plain hilarious. From Louise's crazy antics to Tina's deadpan self-confidence, whether they are planning ways to take over school or craft better burgers, the Belchers know how to have fun. They may not be anywhere close to organized or put together, but they do offer up some wise words once and awhile.

We're in college, none of us actually have anything together. In fact, not having anything together is one of our biggest stressors. However, there's a few little things that we do ever so often that actually make us feel like we have our lives together.

1. Making yourself dinner

And no this does not include ramen or Annie's Mac & Cheese. Making a decent meal for yourself is one of the most adult things you can do living on campus. And the food is much better than it would be at the dining hall.
