After a long winter break and some much needed sleep, as well as no school work, one begins dreaming of everything spring semester has in store, and how much better it will be than the fall…However, here are some very common misconceptions.
1) Expectation: Spring semester brings warmer weather.Â
 Reality: In New England, it does not start feeling warm until at least half way through April!
2) Expectation: New semester, new you!You’re going to get so organized and super involved this semester!
Reality: You will not change any of your old habits…Â
3)Â Expectation: I am totally going to the gym everyday so I have a great body for spring break!
Reality: Oh my god, spring break is only two weeks away? This can’t be happening! JUICE CLEANSE IT IS!
Â
4) Expectation: You plan on spending more time studying and less time “netflixing.”
Reality: You cannot stop binge watching Scandal and anything else you can find on Netflix, for that matter!Â
5) Expectation: I will take advantage of all of the career fairs and career panels offered at school in order to get a great internship this summer!
Reality: The career fair fell on the same day as a baseball game that you HAD to go to, and does anyone really even get a job from going to a panel discussion anyway? Looks like you’ll be working at that minimum wage job again…
Â
6)Â Expectation: This year I will go to class no matter how nice the weather is outside!Â
Â
Reality: I haven’t missed my 2 o’clock at all this semester…what’s one day?
Â
Â
7)Â Expectation: With the spring flowers bloomingm maybe a romance in your life will too!Â
Â
Reality: No such luck…
Â
Â
8) Expectation: Now that it’s warm outside, everyone will be down for throwing awesome dayparties!
Â
Reality: You and your roommate actually just sit around and binge drink all day…
Â
Â
9) Expectation: Spring Weekend is going to be the absolute best weekend ever! Someone cool, like Beyonce, will perform!Â
Â
Â
Reality: It’s really just another weekend at school, and your performer is just a washed up one-hit-wonder.
Â
And lastly…
Â
10) Expectation: You know you and your friends will have so much fun and make incredible memories!
Â
Reality: No matter what your expectations and realities are, you couldn’t have been more right about this one!
