I never knew that the phrase “Saturday's are for the boys” was heavily used until college. What exactly does that mean? I’m not too sure to be completely honest, but I do know that boys like to consider Saturday's as their “bro” day. If boys can have a day all for themselves, then shouldn’t girls have one as well? Us girls would spend this day a little differently than boys would though.
If Saturday's are already reserved for the boys, I say Sunday's should be for the girls.
Sunday's are usually saved for sleeping until it’s time for dinner, or catching up on all of the homework and studying that was neglected during the week. In other words, Sunday is the designated day to be lazy and not put yourself together unless it is truly necessary. For my friends and I, every Sunday this semester has been spent doing that “normal” routine of waking up late, going to brunch and complaining about the insane amount of homework that we have to do. However, when we get back from eating, we sit and wallow in sadness. Are we sad over the amount of work that needs to be done? Probably, but we usually think about the events of the following night, or the whole weekend in general.
More recently, each Sunday has been our go-to day to contemplate all of the decisions we have made throughout the semester and what we are doing with our lives. We’ve discovered that every weekend has played out in the same way, making us feel the same way at the end of it. We’ve come to the conclusion that Friday has been the best day of the weekend. There have been several places open for us to go to, we were able to come home as late as we wanted, ordered as much food as we wanted, and constantly shared the same stories of our antics from that night.
On Saturday, if it is wasn’t a game day, we'd wake up between 11 and 12 then head to brunch (if we really felt like walking there). After that, we would just sit around and watch the game on TV, work on homework and figure out what the plans for that night would be. Usually, we struggled with finding places to go on Saturday nights, so we’ve ended up walking around until we stumbled across something that looked “lit.” Spoiler alert: wherever we did end up going on a Saturday night was definitely NOT lit. To this day, we still don’t know why Saturdays have been such disappointments for us. Since nothing would be worth it for us to stay at for a decent amount of time, we have just returned back to our dorm.
Once back in the dorms, we’ve just lost it. All of our emotions come out and we start to question EVERYTHING we’ve ever done in our lives. Why? I really do not know. I guess all of the “free time” that we have in college has made us go slightly crazy.
Disclaimer: we are definitely not crazy, we just have a lot of things to discuss from each weekend. As expected, the conversations carry over into Sundays, after deciding to finally wake up and face reality. We’ve sat in each other’s rooms for hours on end, thinking about the things we’ve done right and the things that have gone terribly wrong. We also talk about things that we want out of our “college experience,” but how we don’t necessarily need them. Our discussions usually end with each of us having our own, individual thoughts about school and life, setting the mood for the rest of the day.
So, with this, Sunday's should definitely be given to the girls. We go through a lot during the week and then the weekend rolls around and it can either be good or bad for us. We need that one day to sit around and contemplate life, leading to a strong bond amongst us all.
