Labour Day weekend always brings that rush of back to school excitement tinged with a slight disappointment that summer is, indeed, over and that no, you didn't:
- spend afternoons frolicking in a meadow
- fall madly in love with a Spanish exchange student
- clean out your car
Luckily, I am a zillion years old and get to experience BTS (as it's known in the 'biz...go ahead, punch me) as an amused observer. I hear all about the insane professors, keg parties, "crunch time" (which is not breakfast, as I had assumed, but the two weeks before exams when every essay, project and presentation culminate in an acne-inducing stress bomb). I get to ruminate on whose roomies are rooming together, and wonder why workout wear suddenly passes as an outfit.
Since I am not joining the ranks of fresh-faced pupils this year and have spawned no evil offspring, here's for you, Faithful Reader, a quick list of must-haves for back to school.
 |
| Timberlands. Maybe it's because B.R. is recording rap battles again, but I'm all over these babies. Waterproof and sort of mean looking. |
 |
| Pick it up on vinyl. You'll need it for all-hands-on-deck pot-fueled housecleaning. |
 |
| It'll cure what ails ye. |
 |
| Scrubs away the shame and regret of a thousand Retro Nights |
 |
| Herschel Survey. Fits the obligatory MacBook, unopened textbooks, and weeks of laundry. |
 |
| There, now you can cover up your LuLu Lemons in a fashionable way, and stay cozy in lecture! NOW you look smart :) |
 |
| If a disrespectful roommate is grossing you out with her afternoon delight, pop this on and you'll be laughing louder than the bedsprings! Extra bonus: her date will think you're laughing at his pathetic attempt at lovemaking and hopefully never return. |
 |
| Every student house has an adopted mangy cat. This one will love you matter how many macroeconomics classes you missed. |
