A Week of Mondays

by Jessica Brody

Ellie is having the worst Monday of her life. She messes up her school speech for the class vice presidency position, she manages to take the world's worst school picture, she bombs softball tryouts, and the icing on top of this awful cake: her perfect boyfriend who is in a high school rock band dumps her. At the end of the day, Ellie wishes she could redo everything. When she wakes up the next morning, she discovers that it's Monday again! She has six more chances to redo the day in the hopes of having everything go exactly the way she wants. But in the process, she just may find out that what she really wants and what she actually needs are two very different things.

We are never just one thing. We all have many titles and many labels, but far too often, we get trapped inside a single definition. The Teacher’s Pet, the Rule Follower, the Cheerleader, the Athlete, the Princess, the Basket Case, the Criminal … the Rock Star’s Girlfriend. Whether we wrote that definition or whether it was given to us, it somehow becomes our only identity. We get so lost in it that we forget about all the other pieces that make up who we are.


— It was a cute read, but kind of frustrating at times. Great message though about just being yourself.
