Nature is full of adorable creatures we can always learn something from, especially if it's wildlife inspiring our weekend plans.

Before every weekend, I look at the plans I made and try to imagine what the wild animals of the world would do to make them better. Not that wild animals know what the concepts of weekend or plans are, but I know that if I look at it through the glasses of nature, I get to have a much better weekend than I would've otherwise had. Let me demonstrate:

First, Friday night. Because if you can start your weekend earlier, why wouldn't you? It's not like I have any work or responsibilities on the night of a Friday. On the contrary - I'm going to celebrate the weekend with friends. We're going out together after not meeting for a while, so I'm quite excited. When I'm getting ready tonight, I'm thinking of swans. They're beautiful and elegant, fitting for a Friday night out inspiration. Unlike the peacock, that looks like it's trying too hard, a swan gives a sense of poise and rationality, and generally a fun someone to be around.

After a late Friday night, I'll probably need some time to recover all that spent energy - and that's what Saturdays are for. I plan to do absolutely nothing. And for that, I'm keeping in mind the manatee. These beautiful ocean blobs sleep for up to 12 hours a day, which sounds like a great plan to start the day with. When they're awake, they take things slowly, grazing the sea floor with absolute calm like true Saturday queens. That's exactly the energy I want to take with me on this Saturday - which is zero energy. Manatees are perfection for that.

And once I have all that energy back, it's time to spend it and make sure this weekend isn't wasted. And that's when Sunday comes into the picture - it's the day for actually making something. A hike, a visit, any sort of plan. This Sunday I plan to visit my grandma, who lives a couple of hours away - so I don't get to see her on a daily basis. And for this familial visit, I'm keeping the elephant. They live in cooperative herds led by a matriarch, which sounds like my family and grandma. Elephant families help feed, protect, and even babysit the young, all working together to maintain their close ties.

And what are your weekend plans?

    This reptile council, accepts that you are an Archosaur.... But we do not confer upon you the rank of reptile. How can you do this? It's unfair! How can you be an Archosaur and not a reptile, YOU'RE AN ARCHOSAUR! This is stupid! What's wrong with you?!
