As much as I'd love to roll into FIN302 dressed in a pencil skirt, a Hilary Clinton Power Blazer, and winged eyeliner so sharp it could stab someone to death, my lack of confidence towards this exam (coupled with my intense fear of failure resulting in a week-long panic session) will most likely yield an outfit comprised of leggings, tattered, knock-off Uggs, and armpit sweat stains. Is it a pretty picture? Hell no. But is it utilitarian, comfortable, and totally legit should I need to drop out of school and become a hobo this very instant?

Hell yes.

Here are some super necessary staples to incorporate into your wardrobe during finals week.

1. Waterproof mascara.

This way, the tears will slide down your face and not leave ugly smudges. On second thought, maybe it's safest to invest in waterproof foundation, eyeliner, and maybe even skin, so your salty tears don't ruin your complexion.

2. A sleeping bag.

Keep it with you at all times so you can go live under a bridge at a moment's notice.

3. Cup holders.

Attach cup holders to every shirt you plan on wearing during finals week. Do this with either hot glue or staples. Attach cup holders of various sizes-- perfect for little cups of espresso, medium cups of coffee, and Big-Gulp-Super-Sized cups to hold all your extra tears.

4. Your most flattering pants possible.

Wear these immediately after your finals, so you can walk down your street and hopefully find a kind sugar daddy/mama. Even if your future flies into the setting sun upon completing your finals, you can find a wealthy mate. There is always hope, children.

5. An all-black, non-reflective outfit.

Wear this on an early morning walk to your finals. This will camouflage you into the street. Should a bus hit you, you probably won't have to take your finals.

6. A jacket or sweatpants made of the LOUDEST MATERIAL POSSIBLE.

That way, the soft sounds of your sobs will be muffled against the textured material. Think, those sweatpants we all wore in elementary school.

7. Ruby red slippers.

Click your heels together during your finals to (hopefully) be transported literally anywhere else.

8. A rival school's shirt.

As much as I'd hate wearing an OSU shirt around the University of Michigan's campus, if someone sets me on fire, I don't have to take my finals. You gotta think about the end game, people.

These wardrobe must-haves will help you feel stylish during finals. Your exams might be crushing' your dreams, but you'll be crushin' it, period.
