All work no play makes Jack a dull boy
The Weekend
Perhaps the most anticipated days of the week when we can take a break from work or school, and reunite with family friends, or do some fun activities or better still in my case, watch Football ⚽. We all love our half day Fridays. Some, on the other hand don't go to work at all... exhaustion levels are not the same... I don't want to judge 😀 For many, it's literally a day cut in half. The weekend definitely begins on Friday evening and sadly ends on Sunday afternoon.
Let's dig into some of the fun activities we do that makes our weekends memorable.
Rest Day..
Top on my list is that the weekend serves as a day of respite. Many people absolutely do close to nothing during weekends. What could be more fun than being on one's phone the whole day, eating snacks and meals, and hanging ones legs on the sofa?! For some, brewing green tea "Attaya" the whole day is what they love doing on the weekend. Just as Bruno Mars sang in his song "The Lazy Song":
🎶Today I don't feel to do anything🎶
Outing Day...
For some, it's a day to go on outings with friends, family or loved ones. We love to go to the beach and get a chance to catch a breeze, play some fun games, and wash our feet in the sea or swim. Other times, we love to go to a local or fancy restaurant and experience the great cuisine 😋. Other times, we love to just travel to a far place and get away from the noise of the urban areas.
Family Time...
Many people spend their weekends visiting family and friends who they miss so much. This is to reconnect and laugh together. It's a get-together sort of. For some they love to have their weekends spent
Exercise day...
Perhaps my favorite activity on the weekend, many like me with busy schedules utilize the weekend to burn a few calories at a local gym or at the beach. For others, we like to run long distances and get that sweat 😅. We just want a life - work balance. It takes away the whole stress of the week, and equally makes your weekend productive.
Ceremony day...
I was stunned by the cultural similarities in Africa with my recent visit to Ghana. Like them, many of us love to attend ceremonies in the weekend. This is probably because most of the time, weddings, parties, and funerals (as per my experience in Accra) are held in the weekend. It's fun to go and eat free food and enjoy the ambiance. It's just perfect.
Party...
For many young people, the best weekend begins Karaoke fridays to partying all night long on Saturday. It's their perfect remedy for a horrible work week.
The weekend can never go wrong. So make the best use of your weekend. Please share with me in the comment section your most favorite activity on the weekend. Let's have a chat 🥂🫖
