Ah summer, that wonderful time when there is no homework, test, papers, finals, or anything else about school that makes your blood pressure rise to unbelievable heights. During the school year, we make plans, we say "this is going to be the best summer ever," "we're totally going to go on that road trip we've always been dreaming of," and "I'm gonna get the best summer job ever and make a load of money to spend on hipster music festivals and NOT on school textbooks." Well kids, I'm here to tell you that these summer expectations usually do not meet reality. In fact, you may be familiar with the following disappointments that inevitably occur during summer vacation.
