They don't call it Hump Day for nothing.
By Amy Le — Written on Apr 14, 2021
There are two types of people in the world: People who welcome Wednesdays with open arms and those who side-eye the day. There's really no in-between.
Since 1965, people have referred to Wednesday as “Hump Day” because it officially marks the middle of the week and that the weekend is nearing. Once you get to Hump Day, the week only seems to get better because the freedom of Friday feels so much closer.
Wednesday is a day that can put people through a lot of different emotions. For some, the week will feel like it’s going fast as every day is a good day, but, for others, it’s going to feel like it’s dragging.
Congrats, you got through the first half of the week! But now you have to get through the rest of it, you feel me? It's a love-hate relationship.
No matter what field you work in or how your week is going, everyone experiences the same emotions on a Wednesday. It might be at different times of the day, but you’ll definitely feel the pain or happiness of Wednesday (or both).
Here are the best funny Wednesday quotes and hump day memes that perfectly describe your emotions to get you through the day.
