Perhaps like this:

Create unique volume labels for each drive:
  sudo mkfs.xfs -L monday ...
  sudo mkfs.xfs -L tuesday ...

Create matching entries in /etc/fstab:
  LABEL=monday   /media/monday   xfs ...
  LABEL=tuesday  /media/tuesday  xfs ...

Create /media mountpoints:
  sudo mkdir /media/monday
  sudo mkdir /media/tuesday
