Why Sundays Are Actually The Worst Days

Why Sundays Are Actually The Worst Days

"Sunday fun day" and "Sunday lazy Sunday" are commonplace expressions used to describe the calming and lackadaisical times that are Sundays. However, what happens when your Sunday to sleep in and relax turns into a tumultuous and non-stop work session? Well for basically all college students, this is what Sundays have become.

You awaken to the bright sun shining in your eyes disturbing the deep, dreamless slumber that's sole purpose is to get rid of the leftover alcohol in your system. The pounding headache relentlessly stabs at your brain until you are forced to sit up to search for your precious bottle of Advil. Then, your arid dessert of a mouth calls for water and you are forced to peel yourself out of bed and get a cup.

After you are put through this physical distress, you are now assaulted with the thought of every assignment and reading you have been desperately avoiding, like that creepy guy in your math class. Your heart starts to race and you begin to panic at the thought of having to pull an all-nighter to finish the work you didn't do Thursday through Saturday night.

You emerge from your fortress of a hangover and go to look in the mirror and brush your teeth. You slowly rub your face, only to be appalled by your raccoon eyes, as you obviously didn't remove last night's makeup. As you start to scrub away your eyeliner along with last night's mistakes, you realize that your Sunday is actually a prison. It is worse than being trapped with your mom in high school when she was in a bad mood, but you needed her to drive you somewhere so you had to be nice.

As all of these thoughts run through your mind you realize that the relaxing and joyful Sunday you craved so badly does not exist. In fact, this Sunday will never exist. Because as you grow up, the silly childhood dream you had of those tranquil Sundays are simply one of the fairy tales that will never come true.

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.

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.
