The best thing about Friday’s, other than no classes (for me, at least) is happy hour: the happiest of all hours. Relaxing with your friends, several pitchers, and a deck of cards has got to be the best way to wind down after a long stressful week of working and forcing yourself out of bed to that dreadful 8am class. While Thursday typically kicks off the weekend in a crazy frenzy of too much alcohol and several poor choices, Friday is the day to reflect, rejuvenate, and relax into a stress free atmosphere where no one is quite as worried about their outfit, hair and makeup. Is it just me, or are people much friendlier at happy hour than any other night? I find that people who would typically elbow me to get ahead at the bar are suddenly willing to offer a smile online at the bathroom, sometimes even a casual conversation. It’s sad when it’s over, but happy hour is always a time of the week to look forward to—and did I mention the cheap beer and food?
