The Different College Dress Codes

"Can I wear this in public?"

The Different College Dress Codes

Just based on my short time in college, I've noticed there is usually a certain outfit or "dress code" that students abide by depending on their mood, the activity they're taking part in, or their state of wellbeing the morning after. Here are a few common outfits college students wear:

1. The "I just really can't try today" outfit

This outfit is usually composed of your favorite, baggiest pair of sweatpants, a big t-shirt and no make up. No amount of fixing yourself is going to make you look better so might as well just stay in pajamas. At this point, you don't really care who sees you looking like this because you looked fantastic last night.

2. The "I'm really fit and live at the gym and eat only salads and acai bowls" outfit

A popular choice for girls on campus, this dress code consists of Lululemon leggings, an athletic or frat tank and Nike running shoes. Some wear this just because it's comfortable, and some wear it to give off the impression that they exercise. It's the perfect outfit to wear so you can head straight to the gym from class and save time in your day.

3. The "going out in Midtown" outfit

Whether it's a Wednesday or a Friday, you're decked out in a cute outfit ready to go. When it's warm (so most of the time) it's a skirt or shorts, when it drops below 70 degrees, jeans, a crop top or nice tank top and heels. Your shirt will probably end up with some kind of stain on it--ALWAYS red when you're wearing white--and your heels will be covered in who knows what. No one quite knows what it is, but your black shoes will be gray when you leave.

4. The "it's game day" outfit

Sadly, with football season coming to an end, this dress code will soon not be seen regularly but it's definitely a crowd favorite. For some it means a dress and cowboy boots, for others it's a bleached crop top and jean shorts, but no matter what everyone loves to show their school spirit through what they wear on game day. At UF, if you're not wearing orange and blue on game day, it's practically a crime.

1. It's easy to be fooled by shiny things.

Tamatoa created a liar filled with shiny things simply for the purpose of tricking fish to enter and become his food. He too experiences a lesson in how easy it is to be tricked by shiny things when Moana distracts him by covering herself in glowing algae so Maui can grab his hook.

Epic Creation Myths: Norse Origins Unveiled

What happened in the beginning, and how the heavens were set in motion.

The Norse Creation Myth

Now, I have the everlasting joy of explaining the Norse creation myth. To be honest, it can be a bit kooky, so talking about it is always fun. The entire cosmos is included in this creation myth, not just the earth but the sun and the moon as well. This will be a short retelling, a summary of the creation myth, somewhat like I did with Hermod's ride to Hel.
