Ugly And Acceptable

We all understand what the srat uniform is, so what's the big deal?

Ugly And Acceptable

Yes, college girls, especially sorority girls, wear the exact same thing to class almost every day. The exception to not wear it is if a presentation is being done that day or something else big going on.

Girls love oversized t-shirts, Nike shorts (or "norts") and either chacos or some sort of athletic tennis shoe. The big question is, Why do girls wear this?

One of my teachers asked a sorority girl sitting in my class if it was required. No, it's not required. It's how we want to dress. Still wondering why? I'll tell you.

1. We are in the South in general, and it is HOT. With temperatures and humidity as suffocating as they currently are, no one wants to put the time and effort into looking cute. Makeup will just sweat off, and it's not cute running down your face. Clothes will stick to you if they are actually touching you. Also, if the clothes fit snug to your body and aren't dry-fit, they will have giant sweat stains.

Now boys, is that attractive? No, you can't even say it is.

2. If we have an 8 a.m. and want to take a shower, do our makeup, fix our hair, pick out a cute outfit and arrive in time to sit down in class before roll is called, we are looking at waking up by at least 7 a.m. That is seriously pushing it, too, especially if you live off campus.

It's not even including a stop at Starbucks or Chick-fil-A. It would probably take an hour-and-a-half if we're telling the truth, and for a food stop, add another 30 minutes (those lines are ridiculous in the mornings). Let's be honest here, we all love sleep. Who wants to wake up that early just to look cute?

3. After spending that much time getting ready, we would then arrive to class to realize how uncomfortable we actually are. T-shirts and shorts are so much more comfortable. When we're comfortable, it's much easier for us to pay attention and learn rather than worrying about keeping our super cute dress in place during class. Don't you want us to actually learn something in class so that we can get a good job after we graduate? After all, we're not all just here to get our Mrs. degree.

Now come fall and winter, we'll look a lot more presentable. Scarves, sweaters and jeans are easy and effortless to wear when it is cooler weather, and they look cute! Now of course, even when it's cold, we'll probably still be wearing yoga pants, leggings or whatever else is quick at times. Just give us some time, and we'll look a little more presentable. For now though, the uniform continues.

New year, new semester, not the same old thing. This semester will be a semester to redeem all the mistakes made in the previous five months.

1. I will wake up (sorta) on time for class.

Let's face it, last semester you woke up with enough time to brush your teeth and get to class and even then you were about 10 minutes late and rollin' in with some pretty unfortunate bed head. This semester we will set our alarms, wake up with time to get ready, and get to class on time!

And so it begins.

1. Walk in motivated and ready to rock

Camping out at the library is not for the faint of heart. You need to go in as a warrior. You usually have brought supplies (laptop, chargers, and textbooks) and sustenance (water, snacks, and blanket/sweatpants) since the battle will be for an undetermined length of time. Perhaps it is one assignment or perhaps it's four. You are motivated and prepared; you don’t doubt the assignment(s) will take time, but you know it couldn’t be that long.

December... it's full of finals, due dates, Mariah Carey, and the holidays. It's the worst time of the year, but the best because after finals, you get to not think about classes for a month and catch up on all the sleep you lost throughout the semester. But what's worse than finals week is the last week of classes, when all the due dates you've put off can no longer be put off anymore.
