Reasons To Love Lazy Sundays

There's nothing better after a long week than to do simply nothing

Reasons To Love Lazy Sundays
Tumblr

I consider myself an active person. I work part time during the week while attending college full time. I study to the point I fall asleep on my books, squeeze in time to workout, salvage my social life and of course eat. I’m on the go six days a week. Although when Sunday rolls on through, it may as well be the heaven sent day of the week.

I try not to do anything on Sundays except maybe move from my bed to the couch, or to the fridge to get milk for my Cheerios. It is the day of the week to relax and not do anything. My inner laziness is displayed at its finest. Disgruntled hair, baggy sweatpants, a long sleeve that is two times too big, fuzzy socks, and endless amounts of blankets. Anyway, here is a list of reasons why I love lazy Sundays so so so very much.

1. My inner potato is displayed.

I just don’t like to do anything. It is my day to be the lazy potato that I am, have some nachos, watch some football or hockey, and sleep.

2. Rainier the better!

Rainy days automatically call for curling up on the couch and watching endless movies and fall asleep thirty minute in.

3. Cold days around Christmas.

The season is upon us, and there is nothing better than having a fireplace, Christmas decorations all around and a Christmas flick to watch.

4. Ignoring Responsibilities.

I ignore everything on Sunday. Life starts again on Monday at the sound of my alarm.

5. Imaginative.

There is nothing better than getting lost in a book for hours on end. Some people can’t stand the sight, but I embrace them and may immerse myself for a couple hours.

6. Why Change Clothes?

Okay if you went out the night before shower and change. Other than that, if there’s no obligation to something that day, why change out of those comfy clothes? Who is going to see anyway? -- Better yet, who cares?

7. Catching Up With the Fam Fam.

I catch up with my family on Sundays. I wake up, drag myself to my car, drive home, then just plop on the couch and continue my couch-laying marathon for the rest of the day. While also talking to my family of course!

8. In the Fall & Winter, it’s all about Football & Hockey.

It is the truly the most wonderful time of the year when you can eat Sunday appetizers and catch a game, maybe check a fantasy score. It can be the excitement for the day and sometimes the year for the big games!

9. It’s Your Time!

Do what you will with your Sunday. I have active Sundays where I get up and run, do some errands. I dread Mondays, and cry looking at the ridiculous amounts of homework I have do for the upcoming week. I have those moments a lot. When I do have a lazy Sunday of nothing, I cherish that like a little kid cherishes their first stuffed animal. So do what you will with your Sunday. Active or lazy!

28 Daily Thoughts of College Students

"I want to thank Google, Wikipedia, and whoever else invented copy and paste. Thank you."

I know every college student has daily thoughts throughout their day. Whether you're walking on campus or attending class, we always have thoughts running a mile a minute through our heads. We may be wondering why we even showed up to class because we'd rather be sleeping, or when the professor announces that we have a test and you have an immediate panic attack.

The Great Christmas Movie Debate

"A Christmas Story" is the star on top of the tree.

The Great Christmas Movie Debate
Mental Floss

One staple of the Christmas season is sitting around the television watching a Christmas movie with family and friends. But of the seemingly hundreds of movies, which one is the star on the tree? Some share stories of Santa to children ("Santa Claus Is Coming to Town"), others want to spread the Christmas joy to adults ("It's a Wonderful Life"), and a select few are made to get laughs ("Elf"). All good movies, but merely ornaments on the Christmas tree of the best movies. What tops the tree is a movie that bridges the gap between these three movies, and makes it a great watch for anyone who chooses to watch it. Enter the timeless Christmas classic, "A Christmas Story." Created in 1983, this movie holds the tradition of capturing both young and old eyes for 24 straight hours on its Christmas Day marathon. It gets the most coverage out of all holiday movies, but the sheer amount of times it's on television does not make it the greatest. Why is it,
then? A Christmas Story does not try to tell the tale of a Christmas miracle or use Christmas magic to move the story. What it does do though is tell the real story of Christmas. It is relatable and brings out the unmatched excitement of children on Christmas in everyone who watches. Every one becomes a child again when they watch "A Christmas Story."

It's the most wonderful time of the year! Christmas is one of my personal favorite holidays because of the Christmas traditions my family upholds generation after generation. After talking to a few of my friends at college, I realized that a lot of them don't really have "Christmas traditions" in their family, and I want to help change that. Here's a list of Christmas traditions that my family does, and anyone can incorporate into their family as well!

It’s here; that time of year when college students turn into preschoolers again. We cry for our mothers, eat everything in sight, and whine when we don’t get our way. It’s finals, the dreaded time of the semester when we all realize we should have been paying attention in class instead of literally doing anything else but that. Everyone has to take them, and yes, unfortunately, they are inevitable. But just because they are here and inevitable does not mean they’re peaches and cream and full of rainbows. Surviving them is a must, and the following five phases are a reality for all majors from business to art, nursing to history.
