1. Leggings
Lulu’s, non-Lulu’s; it doesn’t matter! Grab any pair to go! It's finals season and this GPA ain’t going to be fun in a pair of jeans!
2. Sweatpants
Now this look is harder to rock because it can go from modest to looking like your life is falling apart, so make sure they are cute!
3. Hoodies
The best hoodies I own, are ones I have taken from other people! So make sure you are wearing one that is not yours!
4. Jackets
Jean jackets, and nike jackets are the only jackets I know. Anything else may seem like you are trying too hard, on the “not trying, but trying” look.
5. Runners
During the summer I met a group of people that come to Chicago to work as bartenders. Like the Jersey Shore of the Midwest; and they called their running shoes ‘runners’ and it stuck with me. So make sure you have some cute runners.
6. Hats
Not only can I hide my greasy hair, but my ugly face too! Hats are one of those rare inventions that can make you look 90% more attractive without trying!
7. Cute Tee Shirts
Sorority tees, volunteer tees, stolen tees; anything works! Specially if it is a tank, and then you wear an oversized cardigan! I got mine at Hollister!
8. Buns
I only like buns if they look good, and they usually look good right before I hit the shower.
9. Ponies
My hair is long again, yay! That means a high pony with a few fly away hairs.
10. Coffee
I like mine black, without sugar.
11. Latte
Pumpkin spice season! And it will almost be peppermint and hot cocoa season!
12. Under Eyes Circles
Honestly, I had no idea what these were until college. It goes so well with my navy Lulu’s!
13. Fiji Water
Greta (my roommate), woke her boyfriend up and made him go get her Fiji water because she was craving it. Mind you it is 40 degrees in Chicago. Sometimes, the crave is stronger.
14. Despair
This smell is great on no one! Somewhere between sweat and B.O.
15. Planner
Erin Condren, need I say more?
16. Computer
Make sure you have a paper taped over your webcam!
17. Charger(s)
preferably not broken ones!
18. Tea
The lavender stress relieve from Yogi works wonders!
19. Loss of Motivation
Been there, done that! Keep pushing through, and if not, allow yourself one hour of Netflix!
20. Crying
It happens to the best of us! I usually watch really sad Facebook posts, so it seems like I am crying because of something sad; but in reality I am having a mental breakdown and watch something sad to get it out of my system!
21. Chapstick
No matter how much I have; I always lose it and need more!
22. Tissues, for your issues!
it’s flu season!
23. Gum
Extra, because what else would you buy?
24. Midlife Crisis
Usually the point where you are so stress you want to give up and contemplate becoming a stripper.
25. Salad
Let’s be honest, you are not going to the gym, the only exercise you will be doing is moving your hand from the chips to your mouth. So you grab a salad to make yourself feel better.
26. Insomnia Cookies
After the salad, you realize that it’s finals, so you reward yourself with a dozen cookies.
27. Messy Room
After all the chaos, you come home to a messy room and realize that your emotions are not the only thing falling apart.
