Grace Under Pressure - expectation vs reality 1

Grace Under Pressure - expectation vs reality 2

 

Expectations of having my own place: I’m going to have fancy dinner parties like a “real” adult and go out dancing! 

Reality: Or we could just stay in and watch Netflix and eat popcorn!

I had expected to do a lot more entertaining once I had gotten my own place. What I had neglected to consider is exactly how much money it costs to do that. And time. Time to plan everything and time to cook and prepare it all. Often by the time I got home from work I really wasn’t much in the mood for fancy cooking and weekends… Well those I mostly spent in my sweatpants. The fact is I had just as much fun hanging out with my friends, watching movies on Netflix and eating snacks, as I would have hosting a dinner party. Actually probably more fun as there wasn’t really much clean-up to do afterwards.
