123. How do you feel about Wednesday? (U of Chicago)


Wednesday is some prankster. He’s always joking around with everyone and having a good time. Lots of people enjoy his company, but you can’t say he’s the most popular guy at school. People seem to be hesitant to let Wednesday completely into their circle, to be able to completely trust him. He always comes at the right time to cheer you up, and you laugh, and yet he still doesn’t have a solid group of friends. Well, Wednesday does have a way of getting into the middle of things and gets everyone around pretty pissed off, but deep inside, everyone appreciates the fact he tries to bring about some change. If you see Wednesday walking through the hallways or during break, you see a self-confident, smooth-talking teenager; however on closer inspection you can see it’s all an act. Of course, it isn’t entirely his fault for being the oddball. However, for me personally, I have to admit Wednesday is a nice guy that cares and gives you a little break. He just needs some real company that is rarely given to him. Sadly, everyone has mixed feelings towards him. I look forward to seeing Wednesday at school. He reminds me that I will finish the week soon, to hang on until the finish line. He is a motivational person, but seldom do most people notice his advice when he gives it. Wednesday is remembered by everyone at school but not notice much. It is a sad reality that such an interesting personality can be drowned out by the overpowering characters of his sister, Monday, and brother, Friday. They dominate the school social hierarchy leaving little room for others, especially siblings. They can do and say whatever they want cause for me Wednesday is a welcome sight to a busy day.
