After the holidays, and at the beginning of a new year, the first few weeks can feel so painfully slow. Everyone misses those wonderful days off, no one enjoys going back to work and being taken from their hobbies, and no one has any motivation to do anything except sleep. The week goes on and people survive, but Friday is a universally loved day, because it's the start of a few days off for many folks.

Unless someone works the weekend, which is unfortunate, Friday means sweet relief from responsibilities for a while, and that's always a welcome feeling. From memes about colleagues and lunch hours to moments everyone feels when they wake up in the morning to get ready to leave, everyone experiences the same emotions when it comes to going to work every day.

To ring in one of the first weekends of the new year, enjoy some Friday and weekend-related memes that everyone will be able to relate to. Maybe we aren't so different after all.
