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
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
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!
