The summer anticipation is real once April hits, and everyone begins to make plans. No matter what you want to do once the school constraints are lifted, you know realistically you’ll just pick up extra shifts at work and sleep at odd times of the day. Here’s a list of 12 things you say you’ll do this summer that will never happen.
1. Going to the Dells
Realistically, not gonna happen. If you ever get off work, no one else will be off to go with.
2. Laying out at the beach
Wisconsin summer is basically spring anywhere else, so going to the beach is going to be a bit chilly.
3. Reading for fun
Somehow watching a movie for the fifth time this week always sounds less tiring.
4. Going on runs
There’s just so many other things to do. Like staring at the wall and not exercising.
5. Doing any summer homework
Yeah, that’s for sure a “week before” problem.
6. Spending quality time with family
Once again, everyone works at different times, and everyone is too lazy to make exciting plans.
7. Picking up a hobby like playing an instrument, etc.
Once you google search “how to learn guitar” and see a four year old playing it, you’ll decide your parents should have put you in lessons a long time ago.
8. Planning for the future in any form
Whether it’s looking for graduate schools or a real job, it’s probably not happening.
9. Trying new restaurants
Nope, you’re definitely going to continue eating at the cheapest place with the greasiest food, and you’ll be damn happy about it.
10. Lifting weights
Good in theory but actually hard when done. On a positive note, you may try it once before deciding not to continue.
11. Go to a ton of music festivals
Money, you know?
12. Lake days
Ah, if only work didn't exist.
Truth be told, the thought of summer vacation is probably better than summer itself. No matter what, we’ll all be class-free soon enough. Enjoy those 2 a.m. movies and making money while it lasts before we all have to crowd into classrooms again!
