If you didn’t get enough Panama City Beach over spring break, now it’s time for round two: welcome to formal season. Some frat bro asked you to his formal–maybe it was your boyfriend, maybe it was your current fling or your secret crush from afar, or maybe you just got set up through your BFFs–and now you are probably juggling mixed feelings of excitement and stress. Of course, you’re excited about the surf, sun and inevitable debauchery, but there are quite a few things to coordinate before you get to that point: your dress, your bathing suit, your base tan, your abs, and for the less artsy fartsy–painting a cooler.
