Optimism is Key

On a rainy day it is so hard to wake up and get out of your warm and snuggly bed.  It's easy to become drowsy and bored--just because of the rainy day.  Being drowsy oftentimes leads to pessimism.  Many people live their life thinking the "glass is half gone".  What's the purpose of that when there is so much life to live, and so many experiences to experience?  Everyone has bad days, but your mentality can be changed and life will get much more fun just from being optimistic. 

Sam is having a rough time; she died, and now keeps reliving her day and she doesn't know why.  Is it to fix her mistakes?  She doesn't know because she's done a mediocre job at attempting to change and be nice but she still ended up dead and reliving Friday. Or is it just how death is?  And do you get the freedom to do all of the risky and naughty things that you were wanting to do when you were alive, yet you would have no consequences?  Sam can't figure it out why she is reliving Friday, but she does keep getting reminded how mean she can be to people. 

She doesn't only realize that she can be mean, but she also is getting very irratated and annoyed of repeating Friday.  Talking to the good boy, Kent, she says:

"It's not my fault I can't be like you, okay? I don't get up in the morning thinking the world is one big shiny, happy place, okay? That's just not how I work.  I don't think I can be fixed."

Fixed? I agree with Sam on that point, except you can be changed.  If she were to focus on becoming optimistic and thinking the world is a happy place, then Sam could easily transform her persona.  When she says this it is her fourth day living the particular Friday.  Hopefully she is realizing that living the popular life isn't as fun as it looks, and that she needs to relax and be herself.  Having positive views on things help make life more pleasant and enjoyable.  Life will quicken and entertain you when the "glass is half full."
