It’s 6 p.m. on a Sunday. Essays are due, meetings are imminent and the to-do list just keeps getting longer.
48 hours in a weekend and they all slipped by. You had fun, but did you have enough fun? The possibilities were endless and somehow you did everything and nothing at all.
The week ahead is only five days long, but how could you ever get through it? “Just make it to the weekend,” is a mantra college students repeat like a prayer. The saving grace that makes up a Friday night and the Saturday and Sunday that follow.
But is this really a way to live a life? The weekdays make up most of our time, yet most of us just wish we could fast forward through it all to get to that blessed Friday night.
Monday: Humiliation
After a rare Sunday night out, Mondays are tinged with unproductive regrets and dread of the week ahead. Starbucks lines are overflowing as students yawn the weekend away. Penn State blinks awake with the hickeys of the past few days all over her. Throw up behind bushes and solo cups in the grass; the patron saints of the weekend have left their mark.
You already want it back.
Like missing the high of a drug you just came down from, plans for what to do next weekend are already brewing in your mind. The Sunday morning hangover still echoes in your head like the ghost of a withdrawal. You’ll chase that high again all week, but for now, you have a morning class to attend.
Hump Day
Two days have crawled by like two weeks. Each day is completing one assignment only to get three more. “I need a break,” is what you’ve been telling yourself every 30 minutes you spend on your phone versus the 10 minutes spent on homework.
Boredom and restlessness creeps into your routine.
Ding! There it is, the bells of heaven in the form of a text.
Invites are being sent out, wine Wednesdays spontaneously attended, and situationships leaving you on delivered. Yes, maybe you should do that assignment due at midnight, and maybe you should get more sleep than you have been…but the night is starting to lure you in, and you simply can’t miss out.
It’s Friday, I’m in Love
Finally, the long-awaited day is here.
The end of a too-long week is behind you, and the stretch of a not-long-enough weekend is ahead.
Pregame music bumping and digital camera charged, the night is yours for the taking. The potentials are limitless, and Monday has never felt farther away. You will be bathed and reborn anew in the haze of drunken conversation and an alarm-free morning.
How did you ever live without this?
The week was long and dreadful…but there was that new coffee place you tried that made your day. A new episode of your favorite show came out. You caught up with a friend you haven’t seen in a while. The essay you thought would be a drag to get through was actually really interesting to research. This week has been…decent. Surprisingly. Maybe even…good?
The highs of the weekend have made everything else seem low in comparison, but looking back on it, maybe the weekdays aren’t too bad.
Though for now, you finally made it to the weekend, and it’s time to reward yourself.
