Most Prestigious Days of the Week

1) Sunday - far from scary, Sundays can be highly relaxing, rewarding, and exhilarating if planned properly

2) Thursday - an underrated day to go out, have a date night, make plans, etc  

3) Saturday - obviously the day with the least stress, but often wasted

4) Friday - fun, but somewhat passé 

5) Monday - tough, yes, but also often quite productive and rewarding if done right. Can really set the tone for the rest of the week 

6) Tuesday - usually a let down

7) Wednesday - just sad

Agree that Wednesday is the most depressing day of the week. Especially when you wake up in the morning and realize you have 60% of the week left till Friday.

Personally I would put Friday a bit higher. That feeling when I close my laptop and walk out of the office to grab a beer is the best.

 

Friday is the GOAT

Thursday is the best because I'd rather be hungover on company time

Which means you party hard on Wed? lol

Does anyone else always have to take 2-3 shits on a Monday? I feel like my stomach and colon refuse to poo on Friday, Saturday and Sunday, and waits til Monday morning to unleash.

To answer your question - I like Friday. And some Thursdays when you know you have a light Friday ahead

You likely need more fiber in your diet.

They almost all have Norse/Germanic pagan origins, interestingly. 

Sunday - Sun's day

Monday - Moon's day

Tuesday - Tiw's day (aka Týr)

Wednesday - Woden's day (aka Odin)

Thursday - Thor's day

Friday - Frigg's day (possibly same goddess as Freya)

Saturday - Saturn's day (after the Roman god Saturn aka Greek titan Kronos

If you look at Romance languages like Spanish the names are all derived from Roman gods, but with Saturday renamed for the sabbath and Sunday renamed for the Lord's day.
