The Playlist You Need to Survive the Week

This article is written by a student writer from the Her Campus at Marist chapter.

“Times New Roman Italic”,serif”>Seven Billboard 100 Songs That Perfectly Sum Up Your Week.

Some weeks seem to feel like years, especially when we are all patiently awaiting Spring Break. It seems like the days drag on and the motivation to get through each one slowly fades. If we could describe our days in one song, here’s what the weekly playlist would sound like…

MONDAY: Stressed Out: Twenty One Pilots

“Wish we could turn back time, to the good ol’ days” (aka any other day but today.) Monday is like a slap in the face with all of the realities of jobs, classes, homework, interviews, papers, internships, etc. etc. etc. It all piles up and we’re still coping with the idea of an entire week ahead of us. Can you say stressful?

TUESDAY: Out of the Woods: Taylor Swift

“Are we in the clear yet?” We made it through the doom of Monday, but the worst is yet to come. We might still be in the woods getting chased by the wolves of Monday’s procrastination, but I promise you we’re almost halfway done. By Thursday we’ll find out the monsters of Monday turned out to be just trees. Hopefully…

WEDNESDAY: Bang My Head: David Guetta FT. Sia & Fetty Wap

“When you think of giving up, just know, you might think you’re dying but you won’t, and you feel the love stepping out of you, but when you think of giving up, don’t. Bang your head against the wall.”

Well…don’t actually, but you’re halfway through the week so don’t give up. PS. We can’t all look like Taylor Swift prancing around the woods in a silky white dress and come out un-phased. You had a rough day yesterday, so it’s OK if you wear sweatpants today, and tomorrow, and Friday.

THURSDAY: Love Yourself: Justin Bieber

“And I never like to admit that I was wrong and I’ve been so caught up in my job,didn’t see what’s going on, but now I know..”

Maybe this isn’t as bad as I made it out to be. This week is almost done, and you almost can’t believe it’s Thursday night. You’re movin’ on, and you’re doing great. Someone should really pat you on the back, honestly. Love yourself, you’re almost there.

FRIDAY: Work: Rihanna

“If I get another chance to I will never, no never neglect you. I mean who am I to hold your past against you? I just hope that it gets to you. I hope that you see this through, I hope that you see this true. What can I say?”

You basically worked all week so now you can relax, celebrate and listen to this song, on repeat, forever. How can you not dance when you hear this? I hope that you see this through Friday, we waited for you all week. So even though Friday seems like the day that goes by too quickly and the one we wait for almost the entire week only for it to leave us so fast, may it know it is never neglected. 

SATURDAY: Dessert: Dawin

“They can imitate you, but they can’t duplicate you, cause you got something special.”

Saturday, we love Fridays but nothing can compare to you. You free our entire day up and give us so much time for fun activities. Y”ou don’t ever gotta worry about the enemy” (any other day of the week) because you definitely have them all beat. So thank you Saturday, for giving us the day we need to unwind and finally have fun. 

SUNDAY: When We Were Young: Adele

“Everybody loves the things you do, from the way you talk to the way you move. Everybody here is watching you, ’cause you feel like home, you’re like a dream come true, but if by chance you’re here alone, can I have a moment before I go?”

Sundays just feel right. Its bitter sweet as we hang on to the best of the weekend, but are just about to dive into the week all over again. We miss Sundays. We don’t want to say goodbye. We know all week we’re gonna hold on, and everything is going to remind us of this day. It’s the last moving piece that keeps up hopeful for the weekend, yet again. 

Shall we press replay?
