It’s no secret that we all dread Mondays. We go back to school or work, which means waking up early, dealing with people, and just missing our beds and Netflix all day. We have to do this for a full five days before we can taste that sweet weekend again. But is Monday really the day we hate the most? I think not. I have some beef with another day of the week, and I’m looking at you, Sunday.
1. You may or may not be hungover on Sundays.
Depending on your nightly activities on Saturday, you might not be feeling too hot some Sundays. But, that’s what weekends are for. At least you have the day to recover and relax!
2. You have to study and do homework.
You’ve been avoiding it all weekend, and now you have to accept the fact that you do, in fact, have to actually do your homework if you want to pass your classes. You might’ve been responsible-ish and done some on Saturday, but you saved most of it for today.
3. You despise the fact that you have work or school in less than 24 hours.Push it out of your mind. Don’t think about it. Just try to enjoy the rest of your day off before you start your chaotic week. Somehow, though, the thought creeps back into your mind every hour or so.
4. No Chik-fil-A.
It’s a constant struggle, really. It’s also a southern struggle. When the craving hits, you better believe it hits on a Sunday.
5. No liquor store.
I think someone should open an underground Chik-fil-A-liquor store. Open 24 hours and on Sundays.
6. Grocery stores are packed.
Want to procrastinate your homework? Want some wine because you can’t buy liquor? Grocery store it is! But wait, the whole country seems to be in the same grocery store that you are about to walk into.
7. Some things close early.
If you want to go somewhere, you better check the hours to make sure you get there before it closes. There's nothing worse than deciding to go somewhere, getting there, and realizing it's about to close because it's Sunday.
8. Some things aren't open at all.
Chik-fil-A, the liquor store, and random stores where I'd like to go shopping all seem to be closed on Sunday. Lesson learned: call or look online if you aren't sure if a store is open on Sunday!
9. IHOP is always busy.
No matter what IHOP you go to, there will be a wait, and it will be long.
10. No mail is delivered.
Since it’s not a “business day,” if you are waiting for a package, weekends are pure torture. Your eyeliner from Sephora will be there in three to five business days? Not if you have a weekend that interrupts it.
11. You can't go to the bank.
Yes, bankers need days off, too. But it sucks when you have bank business to take care of that you couldn’t do during the week because of school or work, and you can’t do it on Saturday or Sunday because they are closed. It's a vicious cycle.
12. Did I mention liquor stores are closed?!
The south really needs to get its sh**t together with the whole "blue laws" thing.
