-Sunscreen
Alright, I get it, people like the skin tones orange and bronze. Yet, our beloved university is located smack in the middle of a desert valley. The sun exposure from this last week alone has left a nice patterned tan line on my feet from my strappy sandals. You can be bronzy orange and still sun protected.
-Bug Eyed Sunglasses (stunner shades)
So half the time most of us are recovering from hangovers during our Monday morning lecture halls. It is almost painful to have to walk to class starring down the white glaring pavement of the sidewalks of the mall. Thank god for HUGE sunglasses that not only protect you eyes from the sun's harmful UV rays but also protect your vision from an assaulting, light inspired migraine.
-Shoes you can walk in!
I know, I know...strappy sandals, heels, and knee high boots are super cute. Yet, these styles of shoes make it impossible to arrive to class on time. It doesn't matter if you leave ten minuets early...you will still get to class ten minuets late. So, find some cute tennies and rock the flats ladies, because you don't want to cite fashion as an excuse for your lack of punctuality. Plus, your feet will thank you later.
-Undies are NOT optional! Please do not "forget" panties at home.
So you wanna wear impossibly short shorts, skirt, mesh dress? Please wear your underwear. The last visual anyone needs is your vagina in his/her face (don't argue with me boys, because you don't know where that thing was before it found its way infront of your eyes). Again, we are located smack in the middle of desert...with sand and stuff...do you want any of that to find its way up there?
-Bottle of liquid (non-alcoholic)
About two thirds of your body are composed of water and water based cells. Re-hydrate. Water is good for complexion, helps you loose weight, and keeps you hydrated through out the day. A bottle of water, Gatorade (They discontinued my favorite flavors, because the guy on the bottle found some pantie optional ladies. So now I have to suffer through the yucky taste of G2.), and/or tea. You will have more energy and feel less spent if you REHYDRATE.
This list will be continued....

Ah, Nikki.
ReplyDeleteI always enjoy your posts. They are entertaining & spunky-- I like it.
& I agree. These are all very good-and I think commonsensical-suggestions. The strange thing is, as you nicely pointed out, so, SO many people don't follow these things, which baffles me....weird people.
1. Why the heck do people think being orange is attractive? I was spacing off in lecture the other day and staring at this girls skin-tone, which uncannily resembled an actual orange, straight off the tree. Does she not have people to tell her, hey, dude, you look like a delicious piece of citrus right now! I don't get it.
2. Heels. School. The two should never be combined. Heels are wonderful and school can be, too. But, why do girls wear heels to school? OK- I'll be honest, in this case, I think I'm just jealous. How do they find the stamina and blister-preventing band-aids to wear those bad boys all day? A few weeks ago I had an interview after class so I decided to wear heels--they were kitten heels that were literally an inch of heel--and lo and behold a few hours later I was hobbling. Then, I finally resorted to taking the terrible pain-inflicters off and walking barefoot to the parking garage. Hows that for a fashion statement?
3. Are there real people that forget to wear underwear? OK- I mean I guess Britney's a real person, but it's debatable. But, does that really happen? It's seems crazy. Why wouldn't you want to cover that bad boy up, for real?
4. Water. I love summer, because it makes me love water. You know those people who claim to actually prefer water to Dr. Pepper or some other delicious flavored beverage? Well I never really believe them, that is, not until summer. Nothing sounds as refreshing and genuinely good as some old-fashioned H20 when it's scalding out : )
