Everyone has expectations for the summer. We come out of our finals week-crazed mindset that we're gonna hit the summer with full force. Yeah, that all sounds picture-perfect. But most of the time the reality of a college kid home from summer is not even close to how we pictured it. In fact, it's almost better to stay daydreaming about how good it can be than to actually live the reality of the summer slump.

So, here's the smack of reality, of what we will actually be accomplishing this summer...nothing at all.

1. Spontaneous early-morning trips down the shore,

VS.

3. Going back to our part time jobs and making that money,

VS.

4. Calling off work because we’re denying the reality of having to do an adult-like thing... or actually going to work but spending all your paycheck--ultimately saving nothing for the beginning of next semester--and having to ask your parents for cash.

5. GNO!

VS.

6. The only place you’re going is in your bed on a hot date with Netflix.

7. Getting sun-kissed,

VS.

8. Getting sun-smacked because you’re pale and thought you’d try and be cool and say “I don’t need to put on sunscreen, I don’t burn.”

9. Losing weight,

VS.

10. Midnight pizza, we meet again.

11. Thinking you look like a VS model taking sexy/cute pictures on the beach,

VS.

15. Getting your summer fix of the ice cream truck’s adorable cartoon popsicles,

VS.

17. Cute bathing suit season is back!

VS.

18. None of these damn bathing suits look on me like they do on the model.

So yes, our summer might not go as planned. We may not look hot in our bikinis that the models wear--or we may look too hot because of our roasted skin from the sun. Ether way, we will wind up in our beds, hanging out by ourselves and trying to convince everyone, including ourselves, that we actually do have a life during the summer. Sleep nicely though, because classes will start sooner than you think.
