Spring Break: Expectations VS. Reality
MTV

Spring break is coming up quickly, which means another year of let-down expectations and sun burns! Here's to another year of realistic college spring breaks!


Expectation: jumping right on a plane to a tropical destination without any troubles.

Reality: your suitcase weighs more than 50 lbs, you lost your I.D., security throws out your perfume, and your sat next to a crying baby.


Expectation: arriving at a luxurious hotel with swimming pools, a spa, and free room service.

Reality: remembering your broke so you rented a small one bedroom suite in a dumpy hotel.


Expectation: having all the boys drool over your out of nowhere perfect beach bod.

Reality: stuffing your face with french fries and ice cream and showing off your food baby of the beach.


Expectation: waking up for sunrise with mimosas and beautiful pictures for your Vsco.

Reality: sleeping until 2:00 in the afternoon because you're hungover and can't move.


Expectation: taking that one picture to post on Instagram to make everyone jealous.

Reality: forcing your friends to take hundreds of pictures of you just so you can spend the day editing them and finding zero to post.


Expectation: partying hard every night with free drinks and lots and lots of boys.

Reality: going too hard the first night and laying in bed hunger the rest of the week.


Expectation: eating delicious, native cuisine homemade from your exotic location.

Reality: shady pizza and french fries from the guy on the corner.


Expectation: meeting a stranger and falling madly in love and living happily ever after.

Reality: being stuck with your guy friends all week and getting drunk to make them look hotter.


Expectation: having the best week of your life with no problems or negative experiences

Reality: having a subpar week that you can barely remember and you never got laid.


BUT HEY! At least there was no classes for a week!
