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!

Toilet Troubles

"So, usually I would never go on a Tinder date but when you are out with girlfriends and a hot Bosnian guy says he wants to hang with you and his friends, you oblige. We head to their apartment and when I realized I may pee my pants if I don't find a bathroom soon. I ask for the bathroom and a friend of my tinder date shows me to it and said in all seriousness that I was not allowed to flush the toilet under ANY circumstances. Having a few drinks--or five--I relieved myself to, nevertheless, flush the toilet. Within seconds, his bathroom was flooded and towels were laid out everywhere to catch the toilet water. To say the least, we were not invited back"
