A Bad Case of the Mondays

Mondays are hard.

A Bad Case of the Mondays

There's something about the weekend, the fun, the sleep, and the few minutes to relax that makes Mondays suck that much more than any other day of the week. 

Of all seven, there is no day that compares to the struggle that is a Monday. Why? Because there's no foreseeable end. 

Nobody looks forward to Tuesdays (because let's be real, they kinda suck too), Hump Day is still two days away and Friday is basically a lifetime away. SO you're stuck trying to survive your dreaded Monday with nothing to keep you going.

You spent the weekend happy, staying up until 3 a.m. and sleeping until noon. You laid in bed watching TV for hours on end. You ignored your responsibilities, and then BOOM. A Monday.

You haven't touched your book bag in three days and you've got 120 pages of reading and a report due. Your clothes are all dirty (because who has time for laundry on the weekend), so you have to wear one dirty sock and and a too-small t-shirt from your high school homecoming. Your books are all over your room, your computer is dead and you realize you are out of milk after you pour a bowl of cereal. 

Not to mention, you haven't gotten out of bed before 1 p.m. since Friday, and all of the sudden your 9 a.m. happens. 

Monday. 

Of course it's cold/rainy/snowing/there are gale force winds. Obviously you didn't come outside with a coat or umbrella and the bus is already there...

If anything can go wrong, it'll go wrong on a Monday. It's the universe's way of punishing us for all our wrongdoings over the previous 48 hours.  

Walk a little faster, drink an extra cup of coffee and think about how comfortable your bed is going to be as soon as you get done with class.

Because once you survive your Monday, you're one day closer to the weekend. 

And also one day closer to another Monday...

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
