Finals... NAY

Finals week: Yay the end is in sight! Nay there are four exams standing in the way of my freedom. Since this week involves ingesting copious amounts of caffeine, very few hours of sleep, and a ridiculous amount of time spent stalking everyone you've ever known on Facebook working really hard at a cubicle in the library, it is understandable that personal appearance falls to the wayside.  However, that does not mean that it is acceptable to show up to the libs looking like an absolute bum.  Did you know it's possible to dress comfortably and not look homeless? I know you're trying to save all the brain cells you can for that statistics exam... don't worry, it's not that hard.

There seems to be some kind of confusion as to what counts as leggings.  Let's be clear, tights (as in stockings, as in see through), do not a pair of leggings make. If you can bend over in the mirror and see your bum through your "pants," please don't wear them to the library.

Rolling out of bed and going to the library is the norm during finals week, especially when you know you will be sitting in the same chair for hours. But, unless you find a way to make a La Perla négligé work in an ensemble, "bedroom chic" is not a thing. From where I am sitting I can see four pairs of plaid pants and three different sets of slippers. Nay. Throw on a pair of sweatpants (this is the only time I will ever say this) and a comfy pair of moccasins or Converse at the very least!


Aim to wear something along the lines of leggings, a cute oversized burnout T, with a sweater (not your six foot tall boyfriend's sweatshirt).  Keep in mind that while you may be in your own world with your exams, you are still in public.  Spare the rest of us.  Who knows, maybe looking nice at the library will make you study more effectively.  Or maybe your teacher will give you the benefit of the doubt on a borderline grade if they remember you as a student who didn't show up looking like a slob. I'm sure there's a study or something to prove it. 


Good luck on exams! Don't forget to wash your hair!
