Sunday Hangover

Sleep it off.

About

SundayHangover.com is a website I thought of with a few friends of mine here at Cal. I originally wanted to create a sports-based blog, with tidbits of entertainment, pop culture, and life in general. There was no real identity, just a bunch of ideas I could throw together online. After a couple of failed attempts to get it going, I decided that I needed to rethink the whole thing.

What is a Sunday Hangover? Well, it’s much more than that throbbing headache, the uncertainty that you may be in the bathroom all day, and an increased sensitivity to light and noise. A Sunday Hangover includes that sense of pride/embarrassment about that previous night or two, where you look back and think “Wow, that happened?” It is the knowledge that you’ve done quite a bit of damage, and that the countdown to reality has started; those days that begin during college and end when you decide to really settle.

In fact, a Sunday Hangover could very well be that entire period of life. Everything is uncertain, yet you are completely confident that things will work out. There are no boundaries, and you are ready to face the world head on (after a few glasses of water and maybe some Advil, of course). Some people refer to it as your twenties.

Whatever a Sunday Hangover actually is, my friends and I have one too. Hopefully, we can get you through this together. Now go make more bad decisions and come back to us after.
