A Quick(ish) Shoutout to Saturday

I've been on this planet for a little over twenty years, two whole decades. Within each of those years were fifty-two weeks, each containing one Saturday. So far, I have experienced roughly one thousand and forty Saturdays. That's a lot of Saturdays. Some were more exciting then others. Some I don't remember because I was simply to young to retain the knowledge. Some were spent in bed with a bowl of popcorn and the whole of Netflix at my fingertips; endless hours of entertainment and it didn't matter when I went to sleep because I didn't have school the next day. Some were spent sleeping over at a friend's house playing Mario until we shouted ourselves hoarse. Some were spent staying out late dancing in crowded rooms with too many people and going to Zips at two AM, which is always fun, even when they give you regular fries instead of curly fries. But no matter how they're spent, Saturday nights are something every person looks forward to.

Saturday is the best day of the week, and here is why you should agree with me:

1. Friday has school. Sure, you can still do something fun that night, but you still have to spend the day in school and school isn't exactly hours of fun.  
2. You don't have to do homework on Saturday. Sunday is the day when you kick yourself and swear that next weekend you won't save all of your home for Sunday night at 9:00 PM, and you have an entire week to forget why you hated yourself come Sunday.
3. By the time Sunday rolls around you're already counting down to the next weekend. Sure, you say you're looking forward to Friday (see point 1), but still.

While I'd like to credit everything to Saturday, I must give credit where credit is due. Saturday is only as fun as those you surround yourself with. Some nights it's a laptop and a bowl of popcorn. Other nights it is a choice few favorite people. The nights that always stick with me though are the ones where I just end up surrounded by a ton of people that I love. The unplanned nights, the ones where you aren't sure how you are going to pass the hours until you realize that they've already passed. That's the beauty of Saturday. It's the one day that you can throw the routine out the window and just let the night take control. So thank you Saturday for making all the other days worth getting out of bed for. We'll see you next weekend.
