The Issue:

Yup it’s that time of year, finals week. It’s a tough time for all of us, the hours spent on anxiety, last minute

cramming, desperate nights of procrastination, irrational eating, and the collection of “stay awake” drinks accompanied by the latest “brain foods”. Anything is up for grabs. Don’t wanna whine to you all about style, but have you looked in the mirror anytime lately? Some of you look like you’ve not come up for air nor shower in weeks.

Pajama pants and slippers worn anywhere but your dorm room is just wrong. Pretending that you are wearing your boyfriend’s sweatshirt that he “left last week in your room because you had no time for laundry” is really pathetic. The worse offender is the chick who tops this off with her greasy hair messily put up in a disturbingly ornate hair clip.

Here are some choices to stylin’ while survivin’: A. Stick with basics like the tees and your reliable blue jeans. B. Wear your “lucky hoodie” and coordinate your bag and accessories to match, this will help you get out of your room faster, even if you are very sleepy. C. Keep three of your most comfortable shoes in the front of your closet, so you can rotate wearing them throughout the week. D. Prepare for the week by having all the laundry done, so you do not have to use both sides of your underwear.

My Turn:

Style is how you look while dealing with all this stuff, so look good and feel good. Preparation is everything, especially for style!
