We all unianimously agree that Monday’s should be cancelled and replaced by a second Saturday. In my 16+ years of education not even once was I ever excited about a Monday (expect if there was an off) and I am sure neither have you guys.
Monday is like a cardamom in your Biryani, unwanted, unloved and ruins the flavor. It is like that commitment that you have been avoiding all week and the only thing worse than Monday is unrequited love. If it wasn’t clear up till now, YES I hate Mondays, and so do you, which is why you are here, reading this.
It has been haunting us since 1582, when Gregorian calendar came for a visit and over stayed its welcome and brought its unwelcomed guest called “Workweek”.
The world is very active with the cancel culture, what is more toxic than Monday?
Monday’s should be cancelled. Let’s argue rationally, free from any bias (ahem) why Monday’s should be replaced.
1. Nothing Good Ever Happens On a Monday
Historically speaking, all the unlucky, unpleasant and disastrous things happened on a Monday morning. The atom bomb was dropped on Hiroshima on Monday, the worst thing that could have happened to world, happened on a Monday. And I can not recall a single positive thing that happened on Monday.
(If you said “I was born on a Monday” Trust me, that’s not a good thing.)
The famous cartoon – Garfield hated Monday’s with a passion. Imagine an orange colored cat, who ate lasagna with its paws, hated Mondays. A feline cat who had the worst luck in the history of cartoons thought that the WORST thing that could happen to him was a Monday. I knew I loved Garfield for a reason, our enemies (Monday) are the same.
If Garfield can recognize the darkness of Monday while living in an eternal comic strip with no consequences, we should take that seriously.

2. No One Wakes Up Excited On Monday
Who has ever woken up after the weekend and went “Yes Monday, Can’t wait to study, attend meeting, meet my boss or go through an existential crisis”
No one. Not one single person. In fact, we all resemble Mojo JoJo from Power puff girls; always angry, puffy eyes, always repeating “I am not a monkey” but lets be honest, we are monkeys with repetitive routines. At least Mojo JoJo was intelligent.
Every Monday, we fight our snooze button and hope that it magically turns into another Sunday.
3. Monday Blues Starts From Sunday
As if enduring Monday wasn’t enough, it had to start early and take over Sunday as well. Sunday just stops being fun around 3Pm and instead of enjoying it, we start worrying about Monday.
You are enjoying, chilling on a Sunday afternoon, but then Monday starts creeping in like that clingy ghost in a horror movie and Sunday is like that safety pillow you cover your face with knowing that a scary part is coming; Monday.
It’s not even here yet, but it’s already ruining the vibe. Honestly, if Monday were a person, it would be the kid in class who reminded the teacher they forgot to assign homework.
We Don’t Need Monday’s to Function
If anybody comes here and presented me with a counterargument saying that we need Monday’s to function; Pffft, Please. We really don’t. All we need is a cup of coffee, working Wi-Fi and a mind that is relaxed. Monday’s don’t help anyone. They are a constant reminder of a life in the box. We can enjoy our weekend activities without the threatening sword of Monday hovering over us.
A step towards achieving World Peace is by eliminating Monday. Think about it. Everyone will be a little bit relaxed, happier and will take things with a pinch of salt. AND not to mention we will have better sleep, better mental health.
Let’s start a campaign, let’s start designing T shirts, hashtags, I suggest #Makesaturdaysgreatagain.
