I remember when I was in high school, Fridays were days when we had fewer classes and more extracurricular activities. Even in the few classes we had, my attention was not really there. I could be looking at my teacher, yet my mind was traveling far. Fridays for me signify a day when one can finally put a pause and go off for the weekends.
Thug of war Game. Of course I'm leading my team 🤭
Some prefer to spend the weekends with family, loved ones, spouses, etc., while others prefer to go away and have some “me” time. Well, I understand that some people still work during the weekends, but they surely have times off work, maybe a shift or a break of some sort. I personally believe that anything worth doing is worth doing well and as @Galenkp would say, “Design and create your ideal life Today, Tomorrow isn't promised.”

Here are some among many things people do during the weekends:
- Cooking: Some people I know spend the weekend cooking to stock up the fridge to make it easy to access food during the busy week.
- Camping/Vacations: This is a time to meditate, go over schedules, rest, plan for the coming week, and basically rewind. They could add a little bit of fun.
- Attend Parties: Most parties and weddings I know of are mostly held during the weekend. I feel it’s the best time because one could just have a fun time without thinking of work.
- Picnics: This is me. I love picnics, and if not on weekends, I don’t really get the vibe. Picnics off weekend for me mean short time, fewer games, and fun activities.
- Visit to the Park, Zoo, Museum: Even though this can be done during the week, parents mostly have time with their kids during the weekend, so it’s preferable for the family to just have that time together.
- Sanitation and Laundering: Weekends are just the best time to clean up in and around the house, do the laundry, and make sure everywhere is sparkling. Having to do such thorough cleaning within the week is so stressful, especially because one has to combine it with work.
There are many more activities like sports, gym, visiting friends, going to the movies, etc. You could add yours in the comments.
If you really don’t have anything to do during the weekends, I would suggest you just rest or decide to start up a hobby or find something interesting to do. Life is not that serious, and weekends should be memorable. Consider doing something memorable this weekend.
Enjoy the rest of your day! TGIF
