Exam season is coming to a close and we all know what that means, don't we? Firstly, it's almost time to start studying for the repeats. Secondly, it's time to pack the trunks, the contraceptives and a few false expectations for your big trip to sunnier shores. Here's what you can ACTUALLY expect, lads. Expectation: A few quiet drinks at the airport and on the plane is a great way to start any holiday. Reality: You're the only one dancing in the middle of the airport departure lounge. Expectation: When you get there the apartment will be perfect. It will have everything you need and enough room for you and all your mates. Reality: Are bunk-beds still a thing? Expectation: The room next to you will be filled to the rim with beautiful women Reality: Not quite... Expectation: The night spots are absolutely wonderful. It's party paradise. Reality: No, that one's actually fairly accurate. Expectation: There'll be loads of sexy-sexy time. Reality: *Sobs uncontrollably* Expectation: You'll recuperate each day by sitting out in the sun and totally embracing the heat. Reality: You'll get burnt on the first day and have to spend each sun-lit hour in the shade. Expectation/Reality: It will be the time of your life and you'll never forget it. So there you have it guys, what you can expect on a lads' holiday. Remember to enjoy yourself, wear sunscreen and stay safe.

Sprite, the truth is refreshing.
