Since finals are over (thank god) we can finally enjoy the warm weather, hometown friends and home cooked meals. Now that we are a couple of weeks into summer I think we are all realizing that some of our expectations about these next 4 months don't exactly meet reality. Here are 11 examples that we all know to be true:
1. Expectation: Going to the beach and coming back looking sun-kissed.
Reality: Going to the beach and coming back with a third degree burn and seaweed in your hair.
2. Expectation: Frolicking in the ocean while looking cute.
Reality: Getting physically abused by the ocean and focusing on not dying.
3. Expectation: Eating healthy and treating your body right.
Reality: Eating 3 pints of ice cream for breakfast.
4. Expectation: Getting outside and enjoying nature.
Reality: Seeing how many episodes of Game of Thrones you can watch without sleep.
5. Expectation: Loving your internship.
Reality: Planning a path to marry rich.
6. Expectation: Finding a summer fling.
Reality: Developing a new language with your dog so you guys can communicate.
7. Expectation: Taking spur of the moment weekend trips with your friends.
Reality: Not going anywhere because no one has the same schedule (or more importantly money).
8. Expectation: Hitting the beach with a bikini ready body.
Reality: Looking below average because food is your best friend and working out takes too much energy.
9. Expectation: Getting a new summer wardrobe that entails all the latest trends.
Reality: Realizing your broke and can't afford $200 shorts so you squeeze into your old outfits.
10. Expectation: Getting out of your comfort zone and trying new things.
Reality: Not leaving your house for days at a time.
11. Expectation: Picking up a new hobby.
