{shortcode-5d38214e8eac1c180da6b972edaeb205eb40be4f}It’s finally Friday! The four day week was long and grueling for those who had midterms, papers, and all those other stress-inducing and sleep-depriving things we love to hate. On a more positive note it's finally over, and here are some things we’re looking forward to this weekend:
1) Sleep: and by sleep we mean the type of nights where we have no qualms about going to bed by 10 p.m. on a Friday night and waking up just in time for lunch the next day.
2) Saturday brunch: seriously, the appeal of it never gets old?!?!
3) Spending the entire day in pajamas: feeling #blessed about putting in negative effort to try and look good because no one judges you for those weird pajama pants in the comfort of your own room.
4) Partying: also known as drinking to forget about how badly you might’ve done on last week’s midterm, and if you need drink inspirations.
