Finals are finally over! Phew. That was one tough weak. We made it, though, and gleefully greeted Christmas break with open arms. We all have great expectations for our time off, whether they be the simple joys of hanging with family, or the hope for an awesome winter trip. The reality is, however, that things do not always go as planned. Instead of becoming a Scrooge when things don't go your way, find humor in these expectations gone awry:
1. Binge Watching Netflix
Expectation: Spend the whole break catching up with your favorite shows or watch something new.
Reality: Fall asleep after the first thirty minutes of episode one because you didn't get any sleep during the school year.
2. Seeing Your Pets After a Semester Away
Expectation: All of your kitties come to you and engulf you in furry snuggles.
Reality: You sit alone on the couch as your cat gives you the death glare from across the room because you were gone so long.
3. Christmas Baking
Expectation: Find a really cute Christmas recipe on Pinterest and recreate the work of art.
Reality: Fail completely and end up with a devilish looking Santa.
4. Winter Clothes
Expectation: Bring on the layers, boots, and scarves, Winter is here!
Reality: Its 80 degrees on Christmas day because this is Florida and we don't like to participate in Winter.
5. Christmas Shopping
Expectation: Find the perfect gift for that special someone.
Reality: Can't even find parking at the mall. It's like trying to park on campus all over again.
6. Neighborhood Christmas Lights
Expectation: The houses on the whole street are decked out in lights, blow up snowmen, and reindeers. Its like walking through a Christmas village.
Reality: One house is unwilling to participate in the holiday tradition.
7. Christmas Gift Exchanges
Expectation: Receiving a gift on your Christmas list.
