Spring break is here and that means going away, creating new memories, and most importantly no school! Unfortunately, for some we can’t afford to go to a beachy getaway but no worries, its back home for one long week.

Expectation: Hopping on a plane somewhere ready to enjoy a tropical, beachy atmosphere and warm, warm sun.

Reality: Me wrapped up in blankets with my laptop, drinking mimosas.

Expectation: I’m going to party with my friends!

Reality: Your friends have a different spring break than you

 

 

Expectation: You have that one friend whose break lines up with yours!

Reality: And then they’re never free….

Expectation: I’m getting all of my assignments done early.

Reality: Sunday night, “Ohh crap, I forgot about THAT!” 

Expectation: I have a full week to myself, I’m going to eat right and workout

Reality: Actually,  nahh…… 

 

Expectation: You get the house to yourself because your parents have work and your siblings have school.

Reality: “We took off from work to see you!”

Expectation: Waking up early to have adventures with your friends.

Reality: Sleeping WAY too late because you were on your phone the night.

 

Expectation: I want to come back after spring break with a nice summery glow.

Reality: JK, I’m going to stay up till 4am and be on Netflix.

 

Expectation: I’m going to take a whole bunch of fun photos over break!

Reality: Instead I’m just looking at everyone else’s Snap story.

Hello! My name is Melanie! I studied Business Management here at Adelphi. Dancing is my passion and my life and I've been dancing since I was four years old. I still dance to this day in NYC. I was employed on campus as part of the Social Media Team. Also, on campus was involved in Adelphi's Symphony Orchestra where I played violin and wrote for HerCampus. Other fun facts about myself is I love animals and the outdoors, my favorite color is pink and I wish that I was a mermaid. ❤
