Why Mondays Are The Absolute Worst

My weekends consist of drinking, bagels, drinking, pizza and maybe another bagel.

Mondays are the absolute worst. If you can honestly say that you don’t hate Mondays, then god bless you and please spread that love to the rest of us miserable Monday people. I’ve never really sat down to think about what about Monday sucks so much, but even the thought of it angers me. Hopefully you’re not reading this on a Monday so you can already have that in the past for this week, but unfortunately, you’ll see it again next week. Here’s a list of the top 10 reasons Mondays are the absolute worst day of the week.

1. You were just spoiled for two days of unlimited sleep

I love sleep, I think more than anyone out there. it is my best friend. As the hours slowly pass by and I see my reflection in my TV, I can’t help but to think about how miserable Monday morning will be when I have to wake up at a certain time. Give me bed or give me death!


2. All the morning people can “eff” off, no smiles here

It’s a love/ hate relationship, but I hate the people who are so happy Monday morning. Why are you smiling at 8:00 a.m.? Why are you so happy to be here? Please just sit in silence until at least 11:00 a.m.


3. You pretend you’re going to start your diet, again.

Every Monday is THE DAY. I pack my lunch for a wild two days and am ready to get that winter weight off. Come Tuesday I’m already elbow-deep in a bag of chips, but hey, there’s always next Monday.


4. Everything hits the fan first thing Monday morning

I don’t know about your industry, but in the world of recruiting, everything happens Monday morning. It’s either the candidates who are also feeling the Monday blues and calling out, or the clients who have the sticks up their…and are complaining about the lack of our results!


5. You realize you hate your job

Monday is when you’re sitting at your desk, staring at your coffee just thinking, maybe graduate school wouldn’t be so bad after all.


6. You’re bloated and unhealthy

My weekends consist of drinking, bagels, drinking, pizza and maybe another bagel. Monday morning I feel like Cameron and wish I could roll my bed into work.

7. You have to do everything you put off on Friday

Friday at 3:00 p.m. my brain goes to mush, and all that extra work that seemed so important at 2:00 p.m. quickly loses its meaning, “I’ll do it Monday”. Worst. Decision. Ever.


8. You have to listen to everyone else complain about how Mondays suck

Nothing is worse than hearing someone else complain about what you're complaining about. This is my complaint, my Monday sucks, leave me alone!


9. The sound of your alarm clock is torture

I try to pick the most soothing yet loud alarm so I will actually wake up, and no matter what it is, it sounds like nails on a chalk board. I've tried rock, rap, even Adele, and nothing takes that anger away than the sound of your alarm reminding you its Monday.


10. You actually have to care about what you look like

On the weekend I get to get away with my band tees and lululemons, the messy bun is a good look and dry shampoo is my friend. Come Monday, I have to pretend I actually care what I look like and actually get ready in my best business professional.

Today I started my third week of college at Minnesota State Moorhead. I have survived welcome week, finding my classes on the first day, and being an awkward loner in the dining hall. Even though I have yet to be here for a month, I have already experienced many thoughts and problems that only a new college student can relate to.

"Make sure to get involved when you're in college!"

We've all heard some variation of this phrase, whether it came from parents, other family members, friends, RAs, or college-related articles. And, like many clichés, it's true for the most part. Getting involved during your college years can help you make friends, build your resume, and feel connected to your campus. However, these commitments can get stressful if you're dealing with personal issues, need to work, or aren't sure how to balance classes and everything else going on during the semester.

In college, one of the essential things to have is friends. Yes, textbooks, a laptop, and other school supplies are important but friends are essential. Friends are that support system everybody needs. The more friends you have the better the support system you have. But you also have someone to share experiences with. And don’t settle for just one or two friends because 8 out of 10 times they are busy and you are studying all alone. Or they have other friend groups that do not include you. Don’t settle for just one or two friends; make as many friends as you can. After the first couple of weeks of college, most friend groups are set and you may be without friends.

For a moment your world is spinning. The phone alarm has just scared you awake and you’re flooded by daunting thoughts of the day ahead. You have three assignments due and little time to work on them because of your job. You’re running late because you’ve hit snooze one to many times after yesterday’s long hours. You dizzily reach for a hoodie, craving its comfort, and rush for a speedy exit, praying you will have time to pick up coffee. Does this sound familiar?

Finals week is upon us. It is a magical time of year during which college students everywhere flock to the library in attempt to learn a semester's worth of knowledge in only a week. For some students, it's their first time in the library all semester, maybe ever. Others have slaved away many nights under the fluorescent lights, and are slightly annoyed to find their study space being invaded by amateurs. While these newbies wander aimlessly around the first floor, hopelessly trying to find a table, the OGs of the library are already on the third floor long tables deep into their studies. Here is a few signs that you may live in the library, whether you'd like to admit it or not.
