Yet another beloved school break is coming up or maybe you’re already on it! I’m sure you and your friends have been brainstorming exactly how you will spend every waking moment of this well-deserved vacation. However, how many of these activities will you guys really end up doing? Whether we’re going somewhere with sun and beaches or just staying home and relaxing, we often have an idea of how totally awesome our summer or spring break will be. How often do our expectations meet with reality?
Expectation: With all this extra time, you’ll be able to put together super-healthy-and-Instagram-worthy meals.
Reality: A bowl of chips is better than of bowl of fruit, anyway.
Expectation: Get all your readings and assignments done on the first day, so you won’t have to worry about them during your break.
Reality: Spend the whole spring break stressing about your homework, then end up doing it on the last night.

School breaks (spring or summer) don’t always turn out as we plan. You might not get that beach body you always dreamed of or meet the man of your dreams—you might not even leave your house. The purpose of a school break is to relax and enjoy yourself. If you are happy, then nothing else matters.
