Finals week....

Tina Turner.
This is my hair during finals week. 

This week I've been having an inspirational killer. And I want to kill it. Two words: FINALS-WEEK!! You know?...Those torturous seven days that make you gouge on gallons of caffeine and the days that result in Tina Turner hair and nasty bags in the morning. Oh yes...the bad hair thing. That's been me for the past 4 days. I've been thinking of buying a bottle of hairspray and taking it with me where ever I go. Just in case. And my brain? Oh, it's fried. If I have to look at another study guide. I swear. It's about to get World War III up in my bedroom!!!!  It's times like these in my college career that I wish I could be transported to a warm, tropical island somewhere where textbooks, essays, and bad hair is no where to be found. Where I won't get a zit because of stress. Where I can enjoy a peaceful day at the beach with a strawberry beverage in hand and the sound of the ocean in the background.

During finals week. This is where I escape to. In my mind. 

Sadly, that won't happen. My life for the next couple of days will entail a series of hair temper tantrums, zit cream, coffee breath, heavy concealer under my eyes, my laptop and my best friend Mr. hair scrunchy. Oh yes...eat your heart out fellas. Just kidding. Seriously. I blame finals week for killing my blogging inspiration because all I've been thinking about is study guides and the hazardous affect this week has been having on my skin. ThankYouSweetBabyJesus for concealer.

And like me, I'm sure several of you college pioneers are going through the same thing. I-feel-ya. And to all you ladies out there trying to maintain finals week beauty...guuuuurl, that is why the heavens invented cute hats. They hide toe up hair. So for all you taking final exams, study hard, get off Facebook and try not to go permanently insane.

• Take a break
• Get some sleep
• Gather a study group
• Eat right
• Pray for sanity. 

In the mean time, I will escape to my happy place and wait anxiously for the day I take my last final exam. Then I will dance my heart away and buy myself a treat. I'm thinking a new dress. :)
