6 Unrealistic Expectations Pinterest Has Given Me

The Street

Pinterest has been around since 2010 giving people everywhere unrealistic expectations about practically everything under the sun. From crafting perfectly painted coolers to your dream wedding dress or your dream mansion. Pinterest has it all.

1. Becoming a crafting goddess

Yes, Pinterest taught me to paint canvases, make bracelets, sew, and envision beautiful creations; although, sometimes those things fail miserably. Have you ever tried to free-hand paint an entire cooler? Don't do it to yourself (or at least not overnight).

2. Finding a dream home

If Pinterest were a real estate agent, they would be the best in the business. They find the perfect small apartment fully furnished to a cottage style house, or even a mansion on water. They allow you to dream big, find something you love without breaking the bank by re-pinning it and just dreaming of those walk-in closets, fireplaces, pools, lake house in the backyard, and all of the luxuries that aren't quite in that college girl budget.

3. Chef Master

Have you ever tried out a Pinterest recipe? Did it work out perfectly for you? Yes? Save it. Print it. Frame it. That doesn't happen too often when one tries to create something from the Perfect Princess Printer, but when it does it is flawless and delicious.

4. To Be or Not To Be: Philosophical

Quotes from the days of Aristotle, authors like Hemingway, lyrics from your favorite songs, and unknown writers who share their words with the world. If only we could all be like those writers and share our views with the world.

5. Perfect Weight. Perfect Face. Perfect Abs.

Just remember, Perfect Princess Pinterest has all of those things. Don't get too jealous.

6. Puppies

Who doesn't love puppies? Pinterest has the most perfect Golden Retrievers, Labs, little dogs, big dogs, fluffy puppies, and puppies playing with tennis balls. Who doesn't just want a lap full of puppies?

Now, it's time to get back to Pinterest and re-pin those dream kitchens, perfectly painted canvases, puppies, and everything that Princess Pinterest has to offer.

1. Thank you for being the one I can always count on to be honest.

A true friend will tell you if the shirt is ugly, or at least ask to borrow it and "accidentally" burn it.

2. Thank you for accepting me for who I am.

A best friend will love you regardless of the stale french fries you left on the floor of your car, or when you had lice in 8th grade and no one wanted to talk to you.

Being sick in college is really tough and definitely not a fun experience. Here are the 15 stages that everyone ends up going through when they are sick at college.

Living Away From Home, As Described By 'Friends'

For better or for worse

Loyola University Chicago

"Friends" maybe didn’t have everything right or realistic all the time, but they did have enough episodes to create countless reaction GIFs and enough awesomeness to create, well, the legacy they did. Something else that is timeless, a little rough, but memorable? Living away from the comforts of home. Whether you have an apartment, a dorm, your first house, or some sort of residence that is not the house you grew up in, I’m sure you can relate to most of these!
