Ahhhhh, Thursday nights. They signify the end of a long week of classes, work, and hours spent at the library. For many, Thursdays mean beginning of a long weekend ahead--full of excitement, rowdiness, spontaneity, and of course, good old fun. But do you think your Thursday nights are falling far short from this? Are they lacking this appeal because you find yourself doing the same thing with the same people at the same party or bar? One word for this sort of mundane routine comes to mind: boring.

There are some days when nothing goes right. If we are lucky, these days are few and far between, and can be avoided by careful planning...but even the best laid plans are thwarated. I recently had such a day, and knew it was going to be "one of those days" even before getting out of bed.
