Hello. I'm Sam. And I hate Mondays. Who does it? Well, you're right. Everyone does. But sometimes I think I am cursed because all the negative things that are supposed to happen to me during the week happened to be on Mondays all together. First of all, there is a problem that everyone is familiar with, which is the start of a new school weak. And you still haven't gotten enough rest from the previous one. My problem is that on Mondays I have all the subjects I am bad in physics, math, science and, of course, physical education. Thing is, I'm a bit overweight and pretty clumsy. Humiliation starts in the locker room where it seems to me that everyone is looking at me and laughing while I'm changing. And then I am always the last in all the exercises you need to see me climbing the rope. My personal record is five feet, which is, well, pathetic and again, everyone laughing. You understand why I wake up on Monday already depressed and praying that I have fallen l during the night. It happened to me twice during my life, and I still remember those Mondays when it happened as the happiest days in my life. Epic Fail is postponed Array Unfortunately, it was years ago, So I wake up and given that I am already trembling at the thought of Monday school humiliation and also clumsy, I start screwing up every single step I make. I spill my glass of juice all over my shirt at breakfast and have to change it. For this reason, I'm late for school, and when I come out and I'm already pretty far from my home, I realized I have forgot my school bag. Or maybe some other things happen like I'm late and running towards the school. I twist my ankle, which is painful, but not enough to skip P E. And so my P E class is worse than usual, even if it normally seemed impossible during the day. I do other stupid and clumsy things that make everyone laugh at me. I feel embarrassed and screw up even more. It's my Monday vicious cycle, and I have never managed to get out of it. But if you think that when I come home from school, my Monday fiasco finishes, you are wrong at home. I have both my parents who are both eager to educate me. Don't think I don't love my parents. They're very nice and enthusiastic. Well, a bit too enthusiastic to my mind. Both of them worked very much. My dad is a pilot and my mom a flight attendant, and they both have different schedules sold. They don't see each other that often, but Monday is there day off. So they both have decided to dedicate that day to family, which is kind of nice, but they both have particular personalities and different views on bringing up Children. This means they're constantly quarreling about what I should and shouldn't dio and sometimes received mutually exclusive instructions that I need to execute. Right now. It always ends in conflicts. Sometimes I ask them why we can't just go out somewhere for dinner or to the cinema altogether and just have fun. But they both are convinced I am lacking parental concern and guidance, and Monday evening is the perfect time for checking my progress at school, making serious talks and sometimes even punishing me for something that happened a week before. And they never had time to punish me properly. That's why on Mondays I come back from school, not relieved but even more terrified by what happens in the evening. The irony is that I need the whole week to take a rest from Monday. However, these are the things that are expected and understandable. I am nervous and stressed on Mondays and screw up, but I can assure you that if anything horrible needs to happen to me, it definitely will happen on Monday. Just is a coincidence. My first girlfriend decided to break up with me on Monday. I screwed up the most important test of the year on Monday. I got the worst food poisoning in my life on Monday and vomited right at the P E class, which made it even more stressful. I even had to go to the hospital, and the saddest part of all that was my dog. I was growing with also passed away on Monday sometime ago. Maybe it is merely a coincidence, or people don't want to ruin weekends, so they always keep the worst things for Monday's because it is already a horrible day, so adding a couple of bad things can't make it worse than it actually is. I sometimes think Why can't people just cancel. Monday's a week would start with a Tuesday, which is usually a decent day. However, then I think that this would convert a Tuesday into a Monday with a different name, but with the same problems. I am sure that everyone hates Mondays, but minor, truly brutal. I am the king of Monday losers and hope that my story would make you live. Your Monday's easier knowing that someone's Monday is worse than yours. You can also share your Monday experience in the comments. Share this video with your friends so that they know their Mondays are definitely not the worst ones.
