College is a strange, strange time.

Ask any college student and they’ll probably tell you that they, in fact, have no idea what they’re doing. Just in general.

And sometimes that comes out in the form of weird outfits that people actually wear on campus and even to class. I’m not just talking about pajamas or athletic clothes: I’m talking about costumes, out-of-the-ordinary-clothing, and everything in between.

I know there’s usually a reason that people do this, and I don’t pretend to know what they are. So let’s have some fun and take these out of context. Enjoy!

1. A completely normal outfit completed with hamburger slippers


Yeah, you heard me right. Just the typical, college-kid athletic clothes with hamburger slippers instead of shoes. I'm being 100% serious when I say that I admire this person so much; they are my hero. It takes a lot to pull off hamburger slippers with any outfit, but they managed to do it. And I’m jealous, honestly.

2. A banana costume

Yes, like the ones they sell at Halloween stores. Just picture a banana waiting for a crosswalk and checking their phone casually. I've actually seen this situation happen more than once at my time at UGA, believe it or not.

3. A "Where's Waldo" outfit


OK, so this actually isn’t that strange on UGA’s campus. When a group of pledges for a certain fraternity rush, they have to dress up like (or at least wear a similar shirt too) Where’s Waldo on Wednesdays. It became a regular sight. Which is strange to hear, I’m sure.

4. A shark onesie

Because who says you can't celebrate shark week year round? I'm honestly considering getting one of these for myself because 1) I love sharks and 2) I would literally just walk around singing the "Jaws" theme song.


5. Tarzan

At one point a few years ago, Tarzan appeared on campus to promote the on-campus Tarzan musical that was premiering. I am including the yelling and climbing trees as part of his outfit because I can.


6. A Gumby costume

You might think that this would be fun to see, but I’m actually sorta freaked out by Gumby. Again, imagine the crosswalk situation, but Gumby is standing there. Menacingly. Not so fun now, is it? I'm not a fan of this, obviously-- just look at him.


7. A gingerbread man costume

I feel like even on a college campus, this wouldn’t be a typical costume you’d see. Bravo, gingerbread man, for adding some originality to the game. Also, rest assured that if I ever saw this person and worked up the courage to talk to them, I'd ask if they knew the muffin man.


I definitely missed some, but with a campus as big as the University of Georgia I’m very likely to. What are some of the weirdest, most wonderful things you’ve seen people wear at your college? Let me know!

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
