7 Sad Summer Realities

We all know these are true, but somehow we forget about them every year.

7 Sad Summer Realities

Everyone has the best expectations for every summer that they encounter. Nevertheless, the reality is a lot more different than what we expect all along before summer time comes.

1. Traveling Expectation

The first and most depressing one, is hoping to travel around the world with your friends - when instead you are lonely watching Netflix. Specially when you expect to take great pictures at the beach for your feed, but instead the only pictures you have are screenshots of memes.

2. Friends Expectation

Let’s just leave it at the fact that you hope you can have epic sleepovers and parties with friends, when in reality everyone is busy and avoids plans as much as possible.

3. Bookworm Expectation

During the summer, it is the best time to relax, and read as many books as possible. After all, you are earning great knowledge during the summer too… but, who actually has time for that? In reality, instead of being a “bookworm”, you are more of a “Netflix-worm”.

4. Summer Fling Expectation

If you can’t get boys when you see plenty of them at school, how will you have one when you see none during the summer?

5. Hot Weather Expectation

It is finally warm outside, and why not have a water balloon fight? Why not relax outside and have a lemonade stand or some refreshing activity? No. Instead, you are in your bed eating with your fan on.

6. Shopping Expectation

Everyone has to look trendy during the summer, and going shopping is a must. However, in reality, the most fashionable thing you will wear might only be your pajamas.

7. Workout Expectation

The motivation to workout and get a “summer bod” is never at its peak - until it’s summer. Nevertheless, the motivation to eat chips, sadly increases a lot too.

Oh, summer…

I thought senioritis in high school was rough until I became a college senior about to go into the real world. I'm supposed to have everything figured out, right? I mean I went through four years of tough classes and serious self-searching (and crying). What I found overall was Senioritis sneaking up on me.
