Finally something in Greek life that I can get behind: cooler decoration

The side of the cooler: "Bowl for Two" lyrics

A sketch of what will be going on the cooler's front

The cooler's cover

I love giving presents, personalizing things for others, and obviously, I love art. So naturally, the Greek tradition of decorating coolers is one of my favorites. I am not Greek, but my boyfriend is, so I still get to experience a couple things Greek life. What you see above is the cooler I have been slaving over for him for the past semester. Ha... let me reword that: What you see above is the cooler I have been slaving over for my own enjoyment, and for him. Clay (the boyfriend) keeps telling me to stop working so hard on the cooler, that it's already good enough. But what is "good enough" for Clay in this case, is not good enough for me. I have a vision for his cooler, and I intend to see it finished! 

But why continue to work, when the gift's recipient is satisfied? Because I cannot call something that I am doing complete until it has met my standards. Anal-retentive? Maybe to some. A perfectionist? Ok. Determined to see vision come to fruition? Absolutely.


For me ideas are like gold. If you have them, don't waste them. And definitely don't just sit on them. Do something with them, let them appreciate. Also like gold, the more I let information marinate, the better my idea. Auto-thought. It's how I get my best work done.
