After a long week of school, we are all excited for the weekend, right? Well as the weekend goes by no stress, no homework just a few days to do what you want to do. Well by the time Sunday rolls around, dread follows it. We all dread Sunday’s because we know after we wake up we are going into another long week. Being a student a week can go by very slow or very fast, but same goes for the weekends. With the new addition of having my license, weekends tend to be much more eventful, because of the simplified transportation. Instead of thinking of Sunday as finishing homework, going home that night and dreading waking up early the following morning I’ve tried to start thinking of it as just another day before we start school again, minus going out that night.

To try and lighten the mood on a Sunday, me and my friend decided to make the most out of the day ahead of us, as if it were just another day in the weekend.

Earlier that day, we slept in and went to Jeaninne’s for breakfast, met up with some friends after, and then made some food and biked to Butterfly to watch sunset, we brought a big blanket and set everything out on the cliff to overlook the view. As we sat there talking and thinking about anything but school, it had me start thinking why we don’t take advantage of Sundays more. We start to overthink and stress ourselves out before we forget it is still our time off of a long week of school and it’s our choice how we spend it. Our Sunday I would say was spent well.

Instead of dreading your last day of your weekend, and moping around the house thinking of all the things this week will bring, that is any ups or any downs. Start thinking as Sundays as a mellow day before the rush of a new week. I have began to be more active on Sundays and basically just treat them like Saturdays, minus the night part of the day. We all know that we dread Sundays, but once you go home and lay in your own bed after a long eventful weekend, yeah I know you all know the feeling I’m talking about. Let’s start taking advantage of the WHOLE weekend, and not cutting it or treating it shorter that it really is.
