Sunday: Day of Recovery

I've come to realize that Sunday is the most important day of the week for a college student. It's absolutely necessary for recovery and preparation.

As far as recovery goes, it's needed for recuperation from the "festivities" of Friday and Saturday. Usually these festivities involve very little sleep and very large amounts of consumption of C2H5OH. Anyways, that usually means the Sunday is pretty rough.

Let me speak from personal experience. The last few Sundays have consisted of sleep. I returned to my room this Sunday morning at around 10 AM. Then I slept until 7 PM, ordered some food and then of course went back to sleep. Today I am perfectly fine.

Now let's explore what would have happened if I had not taken Sunday off and quit life for 24 hours. Today, I would be extremely crabby and swear a lot. Also, I would have probably proceeded to skip all my classes. Which in turn would have resulted in me failing and then being kicked out of school and becomiing a bum on the streets. It would be disaster. So in order to salvage my future, you can see how important Sunday is.

Basically, Monday through Friday end up sucking due to too much work. Friday through Saturday are good, but always a little rough towards the end. Sunday is the one of the gift the Gods have given us, a little break from the rigor of life. You basically get to die for a short period of time.

You want proof that Sunday is a day of temporary death? There's football all day. If that's not heaven I dont know what is.

I always find that during the week, I can't wait for the weekend because I think I am finally going to be able to get some sleep and take a rest from doing all the homework assignments and class projects, but then the weekend gets here and I never get as much sleep as I planned, usually less than during the week. There is just too much going on and too much football to watch and homework to finish up. It's a viscious cycle.

I love this post! I feel like on Sunday I get to just be a bum, which is something that I don't get to do at all during the week. I have way too much work to do, which results in way to much play over the weekend... overall resulting in very little body function on Sunday. I couldn't agree more that it is the most vital day of the week.

I completely agree with everything you said! I look forward to Sunday every week because it is def. an excuse to stay in your PJs and watch T.V. And of course if you feel up to it, there is always the option to catch up or get ahead on homework (although I know that I normally don't use it for that). I'm more of a Sunday Bum kind of girl.

Good stuff here, I think we can all agree with what you say. Though sometimes we can't forget that Thursday is part of the weekend as well, it's just that your Friday-day might suck a little bit more. But I enjoyed festivities till four in the morn last night and I feel great right now.
