Lately, I've seen several articles debating what you should or shouldn't wear to classes — and frankly, it needs to stop.

Although this argument may not be new, most girls think that if you can't wake up earlier to put in enough time and effort to present yourself properly for a class, it says a lot about who you are as a person.

Basically, you're lazy when it comes to your appearance, so you're lazy at everything else in life (which is not true). The other side is fighting that your appearance doesn't matter, what you wear doesn't matter, as long as you're a good student.

Now, there are rational sides to both arguments, but the most important thing we need to realize is this: there shouldn't be an argument about it at all.

I remember in grade school, where what you wore was supposed to be an outstanding symbol of who you were as a person and where you fell on the food chain when it came to popularity.

I knew of a lot of my classmates in high school that got up two hours before school started so they could do their hair, makeup and pick out a nice outfit-- some girls did that every day.

Then, there were girls like me, who got up just in time to get a shower, put some clothes on and leave--the simpler the better.

In high school, no matter what you did, everything felt exaggerated. The times I didn't wear makeup, I felt self-conscious because I had acne. If I wore leggings, I'd be worried that everyone around me knew I had just worn those same leggings the day before without washing them.

When it came to the small things like that in high school, it took over everything. Even when no one was judging you, you just had a feeling that at least one person was noticing the flaws with your appearance.

Now most of us have grown up and gone to college. Since I've started my first semester, I've never thought twice about whether my outfit pick would be too lazy or if everyone would notice if I didn't wear makeup or wash my hair.

And you know why? Because we're all adults just trying to make it through the semester without having a mental breakdown every day anyway--so why should we add the stress of our appearance onto that?

If you're a girl who wants to wear a dress and put on makeup and curl her hair every day for class-- go ahead. If you're a girl who wants to wear over-sized t-shirts with Nike shorts or sweatpants with a ponytail--go ahead.

Ultimately, no one can stop you, and no one should try to sway your opinion. Because in the end, we're all pulling teeth to graduate anyway.

Our appearance should be the last thing on our list of what matters right now.
