Faux Pas Peeves

I think that college students may be the worst dressed people in the world. Really. I include myself in this. I think it just makes sense that if I'm going to just sit in a classroom for several hours, I should be comfortable. But being in Auburn this summer has opened my eyes to a few styles that I would rather not see.. which brings me to faux pas numero 1.

#1. Why is it necessary to wear pajamas to class? I, along with 98% of college students, have woken up late for a class. In these cases, if the class is before 10 it might, might, be acceptable to wear what you woke up in. But after that, it's not acceptable. Because I registered late, my first class doesn't start until 1:15. You might be surprised at the number of people I see walking around in their flannels. 1 PM! Seriously! What have you been doing all day? And in flannel?! It's WAY too hot at 1:00 to be wearing that. Which brings me to point #2.

#2. I DON'T want to see your butt-crack! Trust me, I know it's hot. I know the humidity is suffocating. I understand the desire to cool yourself off. However, I don't understand why you feel the need to dress like a skank. Please, for the sake of our eyes and our stomachs keep your goods contained to the shower. Or at least to the pool. And now to something that doesn't make you cool...

(Actually I couldn't think of a good connection between #2 and #3...)

#3. Guys (and girls for that matter), it's really not cool to bleach your hair. I know it's summer and you want that sun-kissed look, but when you would disappear in front of a white wall you especially don't need bright yellow hair. It kind of reminds me of eggs...sunny side up. Today I saw a young lad who had fallen to the lies of this trend. He actually had a cap in his hand, but opted to carry it in order to strut his stuff with his new 'do. And I knew it was recent because his hair was a little dry and there was a distinct absence of anything natural. I don't think Auburn had seen that much pale + yellow since the real Slim Shady stood up.

Friends, it's really not that difficult. Please remember that you really don't dress just for yourself... which might result in you being mentioned in this blog.
