Something's gotta give
You know, it may be well-intentioned, but telling someone "You look tired" after seeing her is a fantabulous way to make and keep friends (sarcastically). Or commenting on the bags/dark circles under her eyes. Or telling her to "get some sleep" or that she looks "shopworn." (What do they mean by shopworn?? I'm not some product you can buy in a shop!) Or (my favorite, yeck) asking her if her boyfriend minds seeing her this way and if she hasn't tried out some new miracle concealer to hide the eye bags. (And both my guy and I are students, so it's only expected that we're working our butts off!) Try keeping my schedule and see how you fare. I will even throw in the five kinds of gunk I pile on my lids daily. See if you can go without dark circles. I'm only shopworn/tired because I've lived!
