Formal szn is upon us. And with formals come coolers, and with coolers comes blood, sweat, and tears; because men couldn't just invite us because we're fun and intelligent, they need something tangible as well, right? *insert eye-rolling emoji here* Anyway, if you've ever painted a cooler then you know the struggles I'm about to list, and if you haven't, maybe keep reading and learn up on the subject just in case you ever get a text at midnight that reads, "Formal?"

Uh oh.. You can't seem to think about anything other than what you wish you were doing instead of painting said cooler.
At this point the only thing getting you through this is the copious amounts of comfort food and coffee you're intaking.
T-minus 12 hours until you load the busses to head to New Orleans.. At this point the odds of you handing your date an unsealed cooler are higher than your GPA. Fear and dilerium set in.
You've poured your heart and soul into the cooler, and now the next step is even harder than the others: you're expected to just give it away?
Now just a couple of thoughts from one cooler painter to another...
Remember, if it doesn't turn out as great as your roommate's...
Just think to youself, it could be much worse.
And most importantly..
