Everyone looks forward to the weekend. After five dreadful days of school, its nice to have some time to lay back and relax for a couple of days. I'd hate a world without a small break in between each week.

Although weekends are great, I have some problems with them that I wish wasn't the case. Firstly, time passes by much quicker than just a regular business day. In addition to that, you only have two days to restart your brain. That is why we need to tactically plan a weekend worth working five days for. Here is my idea of the perfect weekend.

Let's say school ends at 3 O'clock in the afternoon on Friday. I need to get school off my mind. Instinctively, I would take a nap. After about 2 to 3 hours, I would make myself something delicious to eat, such as chicken alfredo pasta. For the rest of the night, I would spend some time with friends and family watching movie. Friday night movies are tradition to me; I can't start the weekend without a good movie before bed.

Now it's Saturday, ten O'clock in the morning. I wake up, and make myself some homemade waffles with thick maple syrup. After a nice warm shower, I would sit in my home office and take care of any weekend responsibilities, such as homework. Its best to get this done early, so that it doesn't become a last minute panic attack on Sunday night. At around two O'clock in the afternoon, I would start up the grill and make lunch. With the company of friends and family, serving barbecue is a no-brainer. The rest of the day is then spent at a local public location. For example, a beach, park, museum, cinema, etc. While out, we would have dinner at a local pizza place; there is never a bad time for pizza.

Fast forward to Sunday morning. After waking up at around nine O'clock in the morning, I would dress nicely and go to church. For lunch, my mother would cook a family meal, enough to feed an entire football team; there is nothing better than mother's cooking. After lunch, I need some time to digest all the food I just ate, so I lay on the couch and watch a movie (I like movies.) At this point, I most likely have fallen asleep on the couch, so I'd hope to wake up before the day is almost over. For the last couple of hours of my beloved weekend, I usually like to call my family in Portugal and ask what they are up to. That usually takes until dinner time, which would be a nice classic Portuguese dish. After that, I make sure to sleep early enough so that I could start off the following week strong.

There it is, my ultimate weekend. To most it may seem boring, but I wish every weekend turned out like this one. Nonetheless, weekends, no matter how different they may turn out to be, are still the best thing to exist. Enjoy your weekend!
