No college student can wait to leave school for the summer. We all look forward to spending time with our friends at all hours of the night, going to the beach as often as possible, and working a cool job so you have the money to go out and do things with all the people you missed while you were away. But our wild expectations are rarely met and we wind up wishing we were back with our friends at school.

Summer jobs

Expectation:

Working at a cool boutique where you get paid well and work great hours.

Reality:

Working a boring minimum wage job that doesn't interest you because all the cool ones were filled months ago.

Social Life:

Expectation:

Hanging out with your friends and staying busy every day.

Reality:

Binge watching Netflix every day.

Freedom:

Expectation:

Staying out late and sleeping in, just like you did at college.

Reality:

Being back with your parents and having curfews and getting woken up early.
