When you first enter the world of work, you don’t totally know what you’re in ‘fo. Here’s your expectations vs reality of the 9 ’till 5 daily grind…

Expectation:

You’ll make friends instantly and everyone will fall in love with your sass.

Reality:

You are terrified of everything and everyone and it takes a lot of effort just to say hi.

Expectation:

You can finally use your degree!

Reality:

No one uses their degree in the real world and no one cares what you got.

Expectation:

You know exactly what you’re getting into; you can’t wait to start raking in the money!

Reality:

You have no idea what you are doing and you spend all of your money on coffee to stay awake.

Expectation:

You can’t wait for an office romance, or at least a flirt text or 2!

Reality:

Everyone is 40 apart from the weird guy across the room that kept messaging you on Tinder last year *AWKS*.

Expectation:

You have your career mapped out and can’t wait to start.

Reality:

Is it too late to join the circus and run away?!

Expectation:

This is going to be easy.

Reality:

This was not easy. But it was worth it…
