Editor’s Note: This is a satirical article. Her Campus BC would like to congratulate all participants in the 2016 Boston Marathon! You are truly inspirations.
Marathon Monday… often described as “the best day of the year”, “Christmas”, and “that one day where it’s sociablly acceptable to drink on a Monday” certainly lived up to its expectations this year. Whether you were watching from Comm Ave or partying in the Mods, we’ve got your Marathon Monday summed up in gifs so you can relive the glory that happened this past Monday:
Some ungodly time on Monday morning:
alarm goes off, snapchats are already coming in, roommates are hugging, music is blasting, and you are ready to go.
Who cares if the sun is barely up? You are and you are so excited.
You’ve already had your outfit lined up for weeks and purchased all of your alcohol according to the gameplan.
Before you know it, you are headed to your first drinking location because on Marathon Monday, no time is too early.
The room is full of breakfast foods, alcohol of course, and all your friends. Does it get any better than this?
As you party, take photos, celebrate, and enjoy the amazing morning, your Snapchat story continues to get longer and longer…
and the snaps become increasingly unattractive.
You finally get yourself outside to enjoy the amazing weather and the runners!
(You almost forgot that some seriously amazing people are spending their day off running 26.2 miles!)
Seeing all the Boston Strong support and the passion of the city really hits you.
So much love for Boston!
You make a promise to yourself that you will run the marathon next year… just like you said last year… and the year before that one.
By 3 or 4 pm, your body has officially had it.
You’re sunburnt, starting to feel the hangover kick in, and feel like you have ran the Boston Marathon.
But hey, dont worry– another 12 months until the next Marathon Monday! Plenty of time to recover!
