Some days you just can’t be bothered. Maybe you were up all night finishing a paper and have to make it to your 10:10 on two hours of sleep. Maybe your roommate decided 3am is the best time to call her boyfriend. Maybe you think you’ll lose your mind if you wake up to one more inch of snow on the ground in March. Maybe finals are kicking your butt and Spa is out of mozz sticks and your professor didn’t bring her dog to class this morning and it’s just not your day. Whatever it is, it’s best to let your clothes do the talking for you on those days. As a little finals gift, we’ve put together five of the best things to wear on days when you’ve had enough (plus a bonus NSFW one). And, all five of these companies are owned and operated by awesome, intelligent, feminist women. Who run the world?
1. Here For the Food
Jac Vanek may bring back questionable memories of those giant black band bracelets all emo kids wore in middle school, but today her fully developed clothing and accessories line is the best place to go for sassy-sloganed shirts, cups, and bags. This custom flannel is perfect for expressing how I usually feel at on-campus events with free food (since the tragic closing of Cookies and Milk, though, I’m not sure if I’ll ever attend another lecture again)
Jac Vanek Do Not Talk to Me Custom Flannel, $79 https://www.jacvanek.com/product/do-not-talk-to-me-custom-flannel/
2. I Did My Best
Wear this while rolling up to your Tuesday/Thursday 9:40… at 9:57… in leggings and Birkenstocks… in February.

3. Write Your Own
There’s no sassy slogan on this bag – instead, it’s a blank slate to write your own. Write “vocal rest” on the bag and hold it up in front of your face. Perfect for those days when you can’t be bothered to speak to anyone.

4. School Sucks
Catch me taking my last final in this tank and then hopping in the car to head home. Happy summer. (Honestly, though, school does not suck all that much – I love Skidmore. Starting a band would probably be cooler, though).

5. Ok Bye Hat
Wear this backwards as you walk out of all your finals. Or as you walk away from that weird guy in Fallstaffs. Peace.
(PS – If you like One Direction or 5 Seconds of Summer, the 1950 Collective sells literally everything you’ve ever dreamt of. Browse through their ‘apparel’ section and cry into your wallet).

6. Favorite Position: CEO
There’s not much to say here, other than I’ve never read a sweatshirt and shouted “YES” so quickly. Someone should bring these sweatshirts to a WIB meeting and hand them out.
