Sweats FTW.

9 Reasons Dressing Down For Class Is Better Than Dressing Up For It
Cassie Schmidt

I don't even know the last time I dressed up to go to class. I either wear my work clothes or I throw on some sweatpants and a sweatshirt and off I go. Some people say dress for success and sweatpants aren't it, but who said you couldn't be comfy and successful?

1. Comfort

This is the most basic reason. Sweatpants are just comfortable and after a long day at work, I'm not about to wear jeans to my night class. No, thank you.

2. If you're late for class then you don't have to change

Giphy

I'm sure every college student has gotten up a little too late to look presentable, but that's where the sweatpants come in. When you wear sweatpants to class it's like you're wearing your pajamas. Make it right on time and also very comfortable.

3. Sleep is a priority

It actually takes a ton of effort to put on a pair of jeans, cute sandals, and a nice shirt. Not to mention, if you have to do that then you probably are going to want to do your hair. That takes like a full twenty minutes which means getting up even earlier.

4. I would have to change so many times

Giphy

If I changed into nicer looking clothes every time I went to class, some days I would change my outfit four times a day and I'm not down for that. Most of the time I wear my work clothes and that's perfectly OK with me.

5. It could come off as trying too hard

This one doesn't really bother me but people have this fear of people judging them if they dress up. I mean it really doesn't matter, but if you're worried about being a try hard, either ignore them or wear sweats.

6. You can't just jump back into bed after class

This one is perfect if you have an 8 a.m. Those can be brutal, but if you just put on a different sweatshirt and brush your teeth you're all set to go to class and then get back to bed right away. That is if you don't have another class after.

7. If you spill your coffee on your sweatshirt, it's no big deal

Giphy

Spilling drinks on my sweatshirts is no big deal anymore because I can just go to Goodwill and buy another one.

8. Real clothes are actually really expensive

I was walking around Target the other day and was actually shocked about how expensive a new pair of jeans are. They're like thirty bucks. I'm not sure about you but I would rather continually wear my high school basketball sweatpants than buy new jeans.

9. It honestly doesn't matter what you wear

media1.giphy.com

Most people in college don't care what other students wear because everyone minds their own business for the most part. That's the best part because most of the other students wear sweatpants, too!

Of course, it's OK to get dressed up for class but some people like to just chill in sweats. You can be successful and comfortable at the same time!

It's officially December. There is less than a month of 2024, and I still feel like yesterday was summer. Now comes the merriest time of the year, the Christmas season.

Everyone has been waiting for this time of year since mid-October (which is way too early, in my opinion) or before. It's a time of love, family, memory-making, and gift-giving. A lot of times when I ask friends and family what they want, I get a lot of "I don't know" or "I don't care."

Bucket List To Live In The Now

Find excitement in your life and start exploring wherever you are right here, right now.

mu bucket list

I was sitting at my cubicle, now that I am an adult, looking at the rain pouring down on the windowsill, bumming on life, wishing for the rain to just stop for a full day.

There are moments where we count down the hours until work is over and how many more days till the weekend, and this many weeks until something exciting. Or something like that? Well, I was bumming because my next day off from work is not until Memorial Day weekend, which is not until the end of May. And since this is my first year out of college being a “real person,” I am totally missing the winter, spring and summer breaks. I am sure all of us have felt this way even if just for a hot minute…

If you go to or went to Kent State, then more than likely you have done or will do some of these things.

1. You’ve slipped and fallen on the ice at least once.

The winters at Kent are brutal, and while the heated sidewalks and some great snow boots are always a help, there’s no chance you won’t bust it on the ice at least once in your four plus years at school.
