Student's Ford Focus is a hotel room on wheels

Clothes and shoes strewn in the backseat or neatly folded in a duffle bag, a deodorant stick in the side arm compartment, and a dozen or so air-fresheners clipped to the visors.

"It's a hot mess is really what it is," Shatzer said.

Shatzer says the glue was for a project to make silly putty in one of her education classes. "We definitely didn't need a gallon," Shatzer said with a laugh.

14- January 22, 2014 // The Oakland Post www.oaklandpostonline.com Life OU's got style: I dream of beanies
Students stay warm and look trendy in winter weather
Kailee Mathias Staff Reporter
rizzlies are staying warm this winter sporting one of the latest trends-beanies. G College Fashionista, Cosmopolitan and Examiner have all declared beanies a must have trend for the winter seasons. "I have a lot of beanies at home," Ajahnay Taylor freshmen biology major said. "They're knit and I love the way they look, they're very comfortable and stylish. They can be worn with anything." Beanies were seen in fashion shows such as Alice & Olivia, • BCBG Max Azria and Donna Karan, according to Examiner's website.
The Look There is no standard look for a beanie. They come in vari- ous textures, colors and styles. Examiner suggests several looks to pair with beanies to achieve a fashionable trendy look. The first idea suggested is pairing beanies with leather pants and a basic blazer. Another style selected to be paired with the beanie is me- tallic. Grunge is not the only way to go when wearing beanies. Although, an appealing aspect to beanies is covering up a potential bad hair day. "It doesn't matter what your hair looks like you can just wear it and out you go," Jibran Ahmed senior international relations major said.
Frumpy to Fabulous Although beanies are now a top trend that is worn all year round, they weren't always popular. Beanies originated in the 1900's. Beanie was developed from the word "bean," which is slang for head. Originally the beanie was associated with college students or blue-collar workers. The college students in the 1950's wore the hat as a form of hazing. 1.
