Just Another Manic Monday

     To most students Mondays are commonly known as “Manic Monday.”  (Manic Monday is the struggle that most students experience from coming off the weekend.)

     While some students would prefer to ease into their week, most students find their Monday’s to be their busiest day.  

     Morgan Bingham, senior, said “I hate Monday’s because I immediately have to start with an 8 a.m.”  Bingham’s Mondays start with six hours of class and then continue into five hours of work.  

     And for sophomore, Annie Dover, Mondays are no different.  “Mondays are really bad for me because I spend my weekend preparing for my Monday classes and then I just get even more work,” Dover said.

     So are Monday’s really that bad?  

     According to the Huffpost, researchers from The Telegraph said “Monday mornings are so depressing that, on average, we don’t crack our first smile until 11:16 a.m.”  

     So how can students, or anyone, get rid of the “Manic Monday” blues?  

     Researchers said, “The best way to beat those Monday blues is by indulging in activities like watching television, online shopping, buying chocolate or make-up, or planning a holiday.”
