7 Weekend Rules: Break Them and You’re Officially Wrong -

Weekends are like that cool cousin who visits twice a week but never stays long enough. Blink once, and it’s Friday night; blink twice, and it’s already Sunday evening with Monday staring at you like an unpaid debt.

If you’ve been wasting your weekends scrolling endlessly on social media or stress-watching the news, here’s a gentle nudge: you’re doing it wrong.

So, how should you be spending those precious 48 hours? Glad you asked.

Weekend Rules To Abide By

Sleep Like It’s Your Side Hustle
Forget the alarm. Pull the curtains, bury yourself in your blanket, and snooze guilt-free. After five days of pretending you love waking up at 6 a.m., your body deserves a “don’t disturb” marathon.

Eat Recklessly (But With Style)
Weekends were designed for pancakes, suya, shawarma, and anything that can make you dance a little after the first bite. Calories don’t count on Saturdays—scientists may not agree, but your taste buds will.

Binge Something You’ll Pretend You Finished Ages Ago
There’s no shame in consuming an entire season in one sitting. In fact, it’s a weekend rite of passage. Bonus points if you swear, “Just one more episode” and then end up watching six.

Step Outside and Touch Grass
Yes, literal grass. Take a walk, attend a local hangout, or just stand outside with sunglasses pretending you’re in a music video. Vitamin D isn’t just a supplement; it’s free mood therapy.

Call That Friend You’ve Been ‘Meaning To Check On’
Weekends are perfect for guilt-free catching up. Gossip, laugh, complain about adulthood together—it’s cheaper than therapy and twice as fun.

Dance Like Nobody Is Recording
Whether it’s at a party, your living room, or in the shower, put on that guilty-pleasure playlist and let loose. If you’re not embarrassing yourself just a little, are you even living?

Do Absolutely Nothing
Yes, you read that right. Master the ancient art of lying on your couch, staring at the ceiling, and letting time pass. Sometimes, the best way to spend the weekend is to exist gloriously without productivity.

So, if your weekend doesn’t include at least three of these activities, then, respectfully, you’re doing it all wrong. Weekends are short; make them legendary—or at the very least, make them yours.
