Summer. It is literally the highlight of everyone's year. After having a pretty good spring semester and then nearly dying during finals week, you definitely deserve to have an amazing summer! But, while you may make plans to go do a backpacking trip around Europe with 10 of your best friends, sometimes you just have to settle staying with your grandparents in Kentucky for two weeks. Here are some other expectations we might have for summer, but are usually destroyed by reality...

1. Expectation: You're going to get an amazing internship, or at least a decent paying summer job!

Summer plans also means spending money. Unless your parents are totally cool with buying you concert tickets or funding any other summer trip ideas, you're probably going to have to pay for those G-Eazy tickets yourself. But no worries! You're going to get an amazing job, that pays well and has flexible hours! Piece of cake!

Reality: McDonald's was the only place that called you back. Good luck trying to get time off for that beach trip!

2. Expectation: Summer means reuniting with your old high school friends!

Remember all those fun times you had in high school? Going shopping after school, matching clothes on certain days, sitting together at lunch, performing in a talent show together, sending each other candy canes during the holiday season.....

Reality: Oh, wait. I didn't have friends in high school.

Sorry, I was watching Mean Girls. I got carried away.

3. Expectation: You're going to take a summer class.

After doing pretty well on your finals, you are TOTALLY ready for another class. Who needs a break? You got this!

Reality: You're dying from taking a summer class.

Okay, so maybe after barely passing your Organic Chemistry I final, you shouldn't have jumped in to OChem II so soon...

4. Expectation: It's summer! You have to get that Beach Body!

You've already planned so many beach trips with your friends! You know you have to look good in that new VS bikini you got, not to mention, you can't have tummy rolls in cute Instagram pics.

Reality: Your couch is much nicer than the gym.

Tummy rolls. Cinnamon rolls.

5. Expectation: Having a summer fling!

Remember that cute guy from English? You got his number, and you are definitely going to make plans with him this summer!

The only guy who calls you is Mark from the Student Loan Center. At least his voice sounds nice when he tells you how much money you owe them...

6. Expectation: Setting a goal to NOT be super lazy.

This summer, you've decided to not waste your time laying on the couch. From reorganizing your room to maybe volunteering somewhere local, you have a list of things to keep you busy this summer.

Reality: Where did that list go?

Oh well, those five seasons of "Bob's Burgers" aren't going to watch themselves.

7. Expectation: You've planned so many adventures!

From going on road-trips, hiking in the mountains or exploring new places, you and your buddies are never going to run out of spontaneous adventures to take! This summer is going to be so cool, and the experiences and pictures will be even better!

Reality: LOL.

You're just going to have to settle for babysitting your small cousins during your family vacay at PCB this summer.

Hey, maybe Summer 2017 will be better!
