This article is written by a student writer from the Her Campus at Brandeis chapter.

Now, that the spring break is over and classes are starting, everyone is talking about what they did over the break. If you stayed home like I did, we start out saying the break will be productive but then it turns out not to be. Here I have common expectations versus realities about staying home during spring break.

  1. Expectation: You will see all your friends from home

Reality: Your friends from home are busy with college, because they don’t have off when you do and are still in school

  1. Expectation: You will get a head start on work

Reality: You decide it’s better to catch up on shows that you missed

  1. Expectation: You will read over break

Reality: You instead binge watch Netflix

  1. Expectation: You will wake up early

Reality: You wake up at 1 pm

  1. Expectation: You will exercise to get in shape for summer

Reality: You decide it’s better to just sleep
