Happy Monday! Here are some signs that it’s the start of a new week:

1) You set about 20 alarms for Monday morning all within 2-minute intervals.

2) You skip lunch with friends because you have to “finish a reading” when in truth you’re going for that prime mid-day nap.

3) You pretend you’re texting as you’re walking to class because you’re too tired/grumpy/irritated/literally any other adjective that’s fitting for a Monday morning to be social and say "hi" to people.

4) You prematurely think your day is over and you accidentally skip your evening section because you basically forgot what classes are over the weekend.

5) You say you’re going to stay up late to do all that work you had originally planned to do this weekend but never actually, but end up justifying going to bed at 9 p.m. because it’s “Monday."

IN THE ATMOSPHERE

If the fact that it’s Monday makes you really sad, the weather should cheer you up! There’s a zero percent chance of rain today and it’ll be sunny and a high of 70 degrees! And we all know about how there’s a correlation between the amount of sunshine in Cambridge and Harvard students’ happiness, right?!
