Fall Break At Home: Expectations vs. Reality

Because we know it didn’t go exactly as planned…

Expectation:  Wearing super cute fall outfits and looking like an Anthropologie model the whole time.

Reality:  Your hamper is full and you have no motivation to clean any of your cute clothes.

Expectation:  Taking pictures of the fall leaves to post on Instagram.

Reality:  Nobody double taps on repetitive pictures of fall leaves.

Expectation:  Sipping on a pumpkin spice latte everyday.

Reality:  Spending $5.00 on one pumpkin spice latte and then realizing you are a poor college student and could have spent that money on ramen…

Expectation:  Doing fun fall activities like hiking, shopping, crafting, and baking.

Reality:  Binge watching season four of American Horror Story and never leaving your bed.

Expectation:  Going home to your parents and have them cook meals for you.

Reality:  Coming home and your parents have already written out a chore list for you of things they haven’t done since you were last home.

Expectation:  Your parents coming in for parents weekend and being able to show off all of your new friends, dorm, roommates, and campus…

Reality:  Your parents being extremely unimpressed when they realize that you stuffed everything on your bedroom floor into your closet to make it appear that you keep your stuff super organized.
