We've finally made it to that point in spring semester where it's time for spring break season. It's midway through the semester, and it's time to get away from campus for a little bit. We have all deserved this break after working so hard these past few weeks.
But let's face it, spring break isn't always what we hope and dream it to be. Sometimes things just don't work out the way you planned. The reality of spring break can be quite different than your sunny expectations.
1. You decide to go down south with your friends and can't wait for the sunny weather...
...But the weather isn't always on your side.
Tropical weather can be temperamental and sometimes bring rain.
2. You're expecting to get really tan...
...But you'll probably get a good sun burn.
It's been way too long since your skin has seen the sun.
3. You might expect to have a week full of partying...
...But you'll likely be very hungover each morning.
Get ready for the worst hangovers of your life. You'll still party through it like a champ, though.
4. Taking a road trip to your spring break destination with your friends will be a lot of fun!
Taking road trips is an adventure, and it's great doing it with all of your friends! You get to gossip, eat a bunch of snacks and see some cool sights.
...But the fun in the car wears off at some point.
Long car rides are hell. The first few hours are fun, but there comes a time when you're more than ready to get out of the car. You need your personal space back.
5. Your spring break will be full of adventure...
Maybe you'll go somewhere new and explore a bunch of cool places. Maybe you're thinking of going to your favorite spot in Florida and hope to do some wild things.
...But maybe you just go home to chill.
There's nothing wrong with spending your spring break at home. You get to catch up on your favorite TV shows, watch movies, your parents cook for you and you get to sleep in your own bed.
6. It's going to be a great, amazing week with all of your friends.
...But sometimes you can't avoid drama.
The majority of break will be perfectly fine and fun, but drama happens, especially with a large group of people. Personalities can clash, and it can be tough being around people 24/7.
7. One of the best things about spring break is the break from school...
Yay no quizzes or exams or papers!
...But you might still have homework anyway.
It's fine, my professors just hate me.
8. You expect to have some awesome food...
Whether at home or on vacation, you're excited to finally eat well (and somewhere other than the dining hall).
...Yeah, the food is good.
9. You look forward to bonding with your pals...
...You will bond, and you might even make new friends.
10. You expect to have one of the best weeks ever...
...And you will.
