"Are" is used when are talking about multiple (more than one) things.
"Is" is used when there is one.
Example: "My class IS fun." "My classes ARE fun."
Hope this helps!

I see where your confusion comes from...it's actually kind of tricky!
We say:
"One hundred dollars is a lot of money"
"Five days is a long time to wait"
But you must say "these days ARE really boring" because it's not a single specific amount/quanitity.
I hope that clarifies things a bit.

"These" (multiple) "days" (multiple) "are" (multiple)... this is your only option. :) The sentence needs to be consistent.
