She ducks into the bathroom between classes for a moment alone. It's been a rough week - two exams, 30 hours at work, a paper to write, and to top it all off, a breakup. She's exhausted and stressed, and can't even begin to imagine how she must look. She turns to face the mirror expecting dark circles and messy hair, only to find a pink post-it note with a message:
