Media most often portrays spring break for college students as going to the beach and getting turnt and super tan or if not that, then going on road trips or going to fun places. But like every other thing, there are expectations and then there are reality.

Here are the six Expectations vs. Reality: Spring Break Edition.

1. Expectation – going to a resort on the beach in Mexico, getting tan by day, party by night.

Reality – Nope. You're working all of break or you stay at home all day. Whatever it is, you are anywhere but Mexico or the beach.

2. Expectation – going to the beach every day.

Reality – Sike. The beach is too cold and it's cloudy. The only thing you could do is freeze water.

3. Expectation – having nothing to worry about, doing whatever spontaneous things come to mind.

Reality – Bish, you thought. Instead, you have five papers due during or after spring break. And they aren't going to write themselves. I c u, college. You got me f***ed up.

4. Expectation – going on adventures to new places and road tripping.

Reality – You have no money for gas and no one to come along with you. How sad.

5. Expectation – hanging out with friends.

Reality – Either you or your friends are busy or working and you never see anyone till it's school again.

6. Expectation – you don’t remember any part of spring break.

Reality – You indeed remember everything from the point of going to work to deciding what to watch that night.

Spring break, I can't wait for you to be over. You kinda suck. But thanks for letting me rest.
