It's that time of the year again: Spring Break. It's the moment you've been thinking about since you got back from Christmas vacation, and the light of the end of the tunnel of a begrudgingly long semester. In your mind, you make up the perfect scenarios about it—you'll hook up with super hot randos, drink Coronas at the beach all day, and take body shots off the sexiest people you'll ever meet at night. Essentially, it's paradise.
However, like most things in life, this kind of perfection is rare, and we never really get what we expect. Sure, there's drinking, hook-ups, and beach bumming involved, but it's not quite as pretty. This is what spring break is actually like, in GIFs.Â
