‘Twas the night before finals, and all thro’ La Crosse, not a student was sleeping, not even myself. The papers were writ by the seniors with (no) care, in hopes that the winter break soon would be there. The freshmen were nestled all snug in their beds, while nightmares of Whitney food danc’d in their heads.
The end is near my fellow students, and soon you will be home cuddled up on your couch, the nightmares of Whitney food replaced with mom’s meals. Soon…but not soon enough. We all deserve a night out before finals week officially begins—one last hoorah with your squad for good measure. Luckily, you’re Her Campus of UW Lax team knows how to go out in style. We suggest these 5 DT La Crosse essentials for a successful and perfect last night out, courtesy of the Her Campus Survival Kits, which couldn’t have come any sooner.
1. Proactiv Refining Mask
Pimples are no surprise to a stressed out college student during finals, but it’s the last thing you want when you’re trying to kick back with your friends, or worse–your crush. There’s nothing more terrifying than a first impression with a zit on your forehead. It’s a good thing Proactiv’s refining mask works like a charm. Waking up next to your crush with a zit on your face is everyone’s worst nightmare.
2. Bling
But not in-your-face, annoying, I-can-see-that-from-across-the-bar bling. Not here in La Crosse, anyway. But you don’t want to be boring either. We suggest Michael Kors scented gold tattoos. They are subtle and classy, yet fierce and original. Plus, the built-in fragrance gives it an extra edge.
3. TRESemme Sea Salt Spray
We cannot get enough of this spray! It’s so much easier than a curling iron, and the waves look natural. You know, in that it-doesn’t-look-like-she-tried-too-hard kind of way.
4. ID Case
If you’ve ever been DT La Crosse in a packed bar with a purse around your shoulder, you know how much of a hassle it can be. But you’ve got to carry your money and ID somehow. Pockets are out of the question, because leggings are the outfit of choice, and the inside of your bra is just a little too cliché. Your solution? Wrist wallets. Since our team got the Vera Bradley Zip ID cases in the HC Kit, you can bet our purses made their way to the back of the closet. They fit perfectly around your wrist, they’re small, and most importantly, they’re cute!
5. B.A. Burrito or Qdoba or T-Bell (whichever you prefer)
Unfortunately, we don’t have a Chipotle here in La Crosse. So, those BOGO Chipotle coupons will have to wait until break. However, you can’t have a good night DT without a hardy burrito to top of the night!
Thank you Her Campus Survival Kit sponsors! How did you know just what we needed?
