Ugly And Acceptable

We all understand what the srat uniform is, so what's the big deal?

Ugly And Acceptable

Yes, college girls, especially sorority girls, wear the exact same thing to class almost every day. The exception to not wear it is if a presentation is being done that day or something else big going on.

Girls love oversized t-shirts, Nike shorts (or "norts") and either chacos or some sort of athletic tennis shoe. The big question is, Why do girls wear this?

One of my teachers asked a sorority girl sitting in my class if it was required. No, it's not required. It's how we want to dress. Still wondering why? I'll tell you.

1. We are in the South in general, and it is HOT. With temperatures and humidity as suffocating as they currently are, no one wants to put the time and effort into looking cute. Makeup will just sweat off, and it's not cute running down your face. Clothes will stick to you if they are actually touching you. Also, if the clothes fit snug to your body and aren't dry-fit, they will have giant sweat stains.

Now boys, is that attractive? No, you can't even say it is.

2. If we have an 8 a.m. and want to take a shower, do our makeup, fix our hair, pick out a cute outfit and arrive in time to sit down in class before roll is called, we are looking at waking up by at least 7 a.m. That is seriously pushing it, too, especially if you live off campus.

It's not even including a stop at Starbucks or Chick-fil-A. It would probably take an hour-and-a-half if we're telling the truth, and for a food stop, add another 30 minutes (those lines are ridiculous in the mornings). Let's be honest here, we all love sleep. Who wants to wake up that early just to look cute?

3. After spending that much time getting ready, we would then arrive to class to realize how uncomfortable we actually are. T-shirts and shorts are so much more comfortable. When we're comfortable, it's much easier for us to pay attention and learn rather than worrying about keeping our super cute dress in place during class. Don't you want us to actually learn something in class so that we can get a good job after we graduate? After all, we're not all just here to get our Mrs. degree.

Now come fall and winter, we'll look a lot more presentable. Scarves, sweaters and jeans are easy and effortless to wear when it is cooler weather, and they look cute! Now of course, even when it's cold, we'll probably still be wearing yoga pants, leggings or whatever else is quick at times. Just give us some time, and we'll look a little more presentable. For now though, the uniform continues.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.
