Oh, Monday, we meet again. After a weekend of doing things I’d much rather be doing, you come back into my life like a pimple on picture day. Unwanted, annoying, and seemingly unavoidable. I was up all Sunday night kicking myself in the butt for avoiding all the work I should have accomplished over the weekend, promising myself that next week, I won’t do this to myself (read: lying to myself). Tests, quizzes, homework, and midnight due dates for the week all flooded back into my mind, and the weekend high suddenly diminished. But I know if I can survive you, that means I am just one day closer to the weekend again.
Even though you might want to “sashay away” from the Monday Blues, there is now one good thing about it; "RuPaul’s Drag Race" is back! The queens look better than ever and are bringing it. So, in honor of the return of Drag Race, here is your Monday as described by the queens of "Rupaul’s Drag Race."
Your alarm goes off
You roll back over
“Five more minutes”
Those five minutes turn into another half hour...
“Wow, okay, I need to get to class.”
The panic of getting it together
The awkward walk/run to class
Arriving to class (barely) on time
That moment when you realize you forgot your coffee
You attempt “listening” in class
I’m sorry, professor, but I just can’t today.
You try to decide what to do after class.
“Homework or sleep? I only have an hour before my next class.”
You decide to hide in the library until your next class
You attempt to be a real student in your next class
You use up all your motivation and manage to pay attention
You reward yourself with your favorite on-campus food for all the hard work you put in today
“Treat. Yo. Self.”
You climb back in bed to play on your phone the rest of the day.
Ah yes, you survived Monday! Whether you’re killing every Monday or they’ll forever be the bane of your existence, just remember the words of Mama Ru: “You better work!” And now there’s always one good part about Mondays; "RuPaul’s Drag Race" is back for their eighth season!
