Escape of the Mondays

No one likes Mondays. (I'm sure someone out there does, but they are in the small minority.) I could give you all the reasons why I don't like Mondays: a three hour lecture while it is sunny outside, the lack of smoothies at the Union because of a water outage, too little sleep to start the week on...you get the idea. But what fun is complaining? Why not list all the good things about today?!

1. Holy Monday. For my non-Easter celebrating readers, this week is the week leading up to the biggest celebration in the liturgical year: Easter. Holy Thursday commemorates Jesus' last supper with His disciples before He was crucified to save us from our sins on Good Friday. He will rise again on Easter morning by the grace of God. Basically, Holy Week is the most important week of the year for Catholics, so take a little extra time for Christ this week.
2. Naps on Schenley Lawn. I was doing some homework over at Schenley Plaza, when I realized I had two hours before class and no pressing work, just studying and a few papers to write. I decided that it was a beautiful day for a siesta; others were doing it, so why shouldn't I?
3. A Fresh Start. Monday, as much as I hate to see the weekend end, represents a chance to begin once again and make this week a better week than the last. My past week was plagued with worrying about my major, career, and future. While yes, I still am concerned that I do not know where I want to go with my life, I do think it would be wise to remain in the nursing school for the fall semester when I will have my first round of clinical experience in the UPMC hospitals. Monday symbolizes a new beginning from last week with a clearer mind.
4. Planning Time. With my choice to stay in nursing, I have some work to do regarding the summer, as I need to explore many options for my life: owning a restaurant, becoming a writer, shadow a personal trainer, etc. I also need to make a summer bucket list. 

What makes your Mondays great?
