Even in these highly polarized times, the vast majority of people would agree with the following statement: Mondays suck. After a weekend of staying up late, sleeping in, and doing whatever it is you like to do in your free time, Monday morning comes with its nagging responsibilities. It’s time to crawl out of bed and face the work or school week with bleary eyes and a bad attitude.
There’s even a name for this condition: The Mondays. You might not get a case of the Mondays every single week, but practically everyone gets them from time to time. The only known cure is to go out of your way to have some laughs and make the day more fun than it has any right to be.
