Ah, it’s spring quarter once again here at DU. As week four approaches us, it’s the perfect time to procrastinate on all that studying. What better way to avoid those midterm study guides than to hit up Nordstrom Rack or Pinterest “cooler painting ideas” throughout your *yawn*-worthy lectures? That’s right ladies, Formal season is near.
