9 Expectations Vs. Reality's That Are Too Real

How many times have you bought something online, but you didn't receive what you expected?

We all have expectations for things, but there are very few times they actually end up how we had wanted.

1. Summer

We make a never ending list of things to do with our friends, but end up finishing three different Netflix shows and rewatching another.


2. Taking Pictures on the Beach

We all probably have seen and saved multiple cute beach pictures over the year that we plan to recreate for our Instagram, however, those pictures rarely go as planned.

3. Getting out of the Pool

We've all seen the classic movies scenes where the flawless actors and actresses look amazing getting out of the pool. Leave it to us to try and recreate those impossible standards and end up looking like a wet dog.

4. Weekend Plans


Ah, yes the dreadful week has come to an end now it is time for all the fun and partying you will be taking part in over the weekend! Or so you thought. There comes a time where we always end up just sitting in alone with our pets enjoying a nice movie to ourselves.

5. Dating

Whether it be the first date or a few more down the road, everyone loves a little class and romance. When it comes down to dating the expectations and reality saga really plays a role in the game especially if you're doing it online.

6. Online Shopping

Hasn't everyone made this mistake before? Online pictures can be very misleading when it comes to online shopping so DO NOT be fooled. You get what you paid for I guess.

7. Makeup

Ladies, this one is for you. I think we can all relate to this one on a spiritual level. Ever tried to get that eyeliner just right? Chances are you ended up with a black eyelid.

8. Messy Bun and Getting Stuff Done

Another one for my fellow ladies, or boys since the man bun is in, I suppose! The messy bun is an art of all art. This hairstyle is a masterpiece and no one understands the struggle until they have spent 10 minutes with numb arms and countless amounts of bobby pins perfecting it.

9. Haircuts from Hell

I'm more than confident we all have that one or five embarrassing school photos with that awkward haircut we just had to have. Or even today we show our stylist a photograph and they say "Oh, of course, I can do that!" To later find out, they could not once it's too late.

10. Sleeping with Pets

Pet owners expect to be cuddled up with their furry friend for the night to get a full nights rest. That is never the case. With cats, you wake up with them on your face, your neck, or pawing at you. With dogs, you might as well give up the whole bed because there is no winning that battle.

The Unwritten Rules Of "Talking"

What is "talking?" How does one "talk?"

Now that it seems “talking” is the new way to date, and will stay that way until another idiotic term is used to describe the people who can’t settle down and just date someone, I feel as if it’s time to go over the unwritten rules of “talking.”

Rule 1. Having feeling without feeling.

What's up Asshat,

I've composed a list of things that I wish upon you, and they're harsh and cruel. These things are things that I wouldn't wish upon my worst of enemies, not even that Starbuck's barista who always screws up my order, not even him. You fall into a whole other category of hate. You surpass Starbucks barista. Congratulations, I'm actually a pretty nice person, making you worthy of every single bit of torture I wish upon you. What are these things I wish upon you you might ask?
