Monday vs. Saturday
Monday and Saturday are the worst and best days of the week. Mondays you’re stuck in school all day and Saturdays you have nonstop fun. Although Monday and Saturday are both days of the week, what I do, who I’m with, and how I feel are completely different.
Mondays are pretty boring for the most part but actually in some ways are really great. On Monday morning I have to wake up at 5:30 and go to morning practice and lift weights for over an hour; then I go to school all day, and then back to practice and homework. This may not sound fun but if you think about it, it’s actually not so bad. I can see all my friends at school and catch up about the weekend. And for some reason I tend to talk to my friends the most on school nights so that’s really fun. Even though I really should be doing my homework, Mondays I just have fun most of the time and I leave all the homework for Tuesday. On Monday I’m normally with all my friends from school that I don’t get to see on the weekend. Even though I have to deal with teachers asking me not to talk, I still have fun with my friends because I don’t listen to the teachers until the 6th or 7th time. On Monday I feel really tired and worried about my homework and studying. But when I get home I get to talk to my friends which makes me feel so much better and then I get to go to practice and see a different group of friends which is fun and we all work hard and laugh and laugh and play to make it desirable. Mondays, even though you have to go to school, isn’t that bad.
On Saturday, I get to do whatever I want. This means I tend to just waste the day away because I’m not good with planning to see people. Most of the times Saturdays, I’m just stuck watching TV mindlessly. Although I sometimes go out to see my friend Jack and we will spend the weekend hanging out. During water polo season, most of the time I’m stuck at a tournament all day and don’t get to see anyone other than the people on my team. A lot of the time on Saturdays I feel like I should be studying. I always have some homework over the weekend. Since the friends I normally text during the week are all busy, I don’t get to talk to them as much as I would like to. Even though there isn’t any school, Saturdays aren’t as great as I thought they were.
I am quite surprised that Mondays are actually better that Saturdays. I would have never thought so before I wrote this essay. Its amazing that the days of school you have to slug out are actually the fun days even though we don’t realize it.
