Because we can't actually afford a place that fits all of our friends without being sandwiched between two people in a twin bed.

4. Expectation: I can't wait to spend all hours of the day out in this perfect weather.

But there's finally that glorious day that the sun comes out every 5 minutes and it's above 70 degrees.

5. Expectation: "Finally some sun, I'm gonna stay out all day and get a nice tan and coming back looking like a freaking Kardashian"
