A week in college can be filled with stress, tests, and late nights at the library doing homework. The further you go in college, the busier your weekdays get, and you start to countdown the hours to the weekend. You begin to value your free time so much more as your course load becomes heavier, you have an on-campus job or even an internship. Here are a few reasons all college students love the weekend.

You actually get to sleep.

During the week, there simply is just not enough time in the day, which causes us to sacrifice precious hours of sleep. We spend our time in class all day long, while hopefully eating a few meals and grabbing a coffee in between, and studying our butts off so that we can boost our grade point averages. We love not setting an alarm at 3 a.m. and waking up at 12 p.m. on a rainy Sunday morning with not a care in a world. You may even take a nap later that afternoon, watch some football and then get some studying in. Sounds like a stress-free day to me!

You get to go to brunch.

Brunch is a beautiful art form that is often under appreciated. After you sleep until 12 p.m. you wake up to indulge yourself in delicious breakfast foods. You can stroll to the cafe straight out of bed and eat pancakes, eggs, and bacon until you physically cannot eat anymore. Such a simple idea of combining breakfast and lunch is a blessing in disguise after a long night.

You get to enjoy free time and have fun with your friends.

Everyone grinds during the week and wants to have a weekend full of fun. Whether that means having a few drinks, going to a party, or just sitting down and talking to your friends about how their week went, these are moments we value. You might go out to dinner to get away from the cafe food, or just go on a random adventure. We stay up all night and create memories that we will remember when we are in the professional world. This is supposed to be the best time of our life. Strive to create lasting memories with your friends that you have grown to love; have fun and always be safe.

We pay a ridiculous amount of money to attend college and every student's top priority should be their education. With that being said, I have learned the whole college experience is crucial to creating a well-rounded individual. Always remember that you cannot put a price on memories.
