55 Happy Friday Quotes To Start A Happy Weekend — TGIF!
Friday, is that you?
Kick-off your shoes and throw on your weekend outfit 'cause it's Friday, y'all!
If you’re reading this, you have made it to the end of another work week and likely could little use these Friday quotes for some motivation to make it through until the weekend officially begins.
You’ve endured boring virtual meetings, your neighbor’s yappy dog barking 15 minutes before your alarm, and probably your kids bugging you to make them a second lunch because the first wasn’t enough.
Throw a bone at that dog (and your kids if you’re a rebel) and blast your headphones to the maximum capacity! You do not need to worry about any work until Monday rolls around again.
I’m sure I speak for the majority of us who feel that Fridays are the second-best things in life. First, of course, are taco Tuesdays, am I right? Beware the feeling of extreme margarita-itis as soon as Friday hits.
Whether you are going into your office again or walking from your bed to the kitchen, Friday is here, so let's get you ready to enjoy the weekend!
Here are 40 Friday quotes to help you say "TGIF!"
