"I used to designate certain days of the week as "cute days"; where I'd put more effort into wearing a nicer outfit, doing my hair, the whole nine yards to offset the days where practice would leave me in shambles before class. My roommates would constantly [lovingly] note my failure to comply with this. Here I am four years later accepting my own version of cute, sports bra and all, because I did indeed have a helmet on my head and sweat dripping down my face at 7am this morning. I will always remember those mornings, the daily debate in the locker room with my teammates about what to wear post practice."
