After the weekend comes weekdays...with loads of work, running around, boring meetings, long commutes and other stuff that drains our energy. We all dread the Monday blues. And nothing can prepare us for the week ahead, especially if we partied hard during the weekend—just like Chada, the bear, still not over the weekend hangover. LOL!

"Work hard and party harder." We believe Chada did that because her disheveled appearance post a deep slumber is all of us on a Monday Morning. A hilarious video shared by White Rock Bear Shelter in Ukraine showed the fluff ball emerging out of a cave with heavy eyes, a lazy walk and desperate for a caffeine lift. Chada was a whole mood in the Instagram video that instantly made waves across all platforms. Chada lives a happy-peaceful life at the bear shelter with friends, taking loads of naps and having fun. But as the bear emerged from its hideout with its worse-for-wear expressions, people couldn't help but relate to it. 

The video caption reads, "This is me starting the work week. Good morning. We're all a little Chad from Monday." The video had over 19K likes on Instagram and went viral on TikTok and Reddit in no time. Because why not. On TikTok, Chada's realistic morning face garnered 23.4 million views and over 1 million likes. Netizens went frenzy over how relatable the video felt and sparked hilarious jokes. One Instagram user, @__tano___ wrote, "Bro partied too hard last night." Haha!! We bet. Another Instagram user, @travel_buddies1.0 related, saying, "Exactly my Monday mood." Same for us.

A third user, @tatotot_17 asked, "Is this the bear equivalent of when you wake up from a 5-hour-long nap, have no idea where you are, can barely breathe and are filled with sweat?" Yes, man! You're bang on. @vikmfashion demanded, "Coffee, please." LMAO! So true. 

Reddit sparked funny comments, too. A Reddit user, u/TheBeachcombingFairy affirmed, "Me too, friend. Me too" while u/Mundane_Tour_3215 quipped, "Ahhh F**k. Am I late for work? No, no, wait, it's Saturday." TikTok users, too, joined the bandwagon. @kookie_bunny_97 said, "Me when I am not a morning person." Yawn!! @caanivorous commented, "This bear is my spirit animal." We second that. @jormareynolds joked, "When you got in at 4 a.m. and have to start work at 8 a.m." 

Unfortunately, life has not always been all fun and games for Chada. The shelter explained, "From an early age, Chada was exploited in the Ukrainian national circus and spent most of her life on wheels, touring." Chada was sold to a private circus. The shelter added, "They eventually left her in a small rusty cage in the industrial zone of the suburbs of Kyiv. The bear spent seven years there." The bear was rescued and relocated in 2019 after animal activists found out about the bear's misery. With White Rock Bear Shelter, Chada is leading a happy and safe life. Shelter concluded, "Chada had a hard life but remained a fighter. And she became the star of our bear family because of her character and thirst for life." Way to go, Chada!
