There's always "that girl," the one who wears the same pajama pants e-v-e-r-y day. I lived with "that girl" my freshman year. She ended up dropping out of our school because she was depressed. Geesh I wonder why, maybe it's because she didn't bother to make herself feel better. There were all kinds of other things which contributed to the mess, but wearing the same, sad, sloppy pair of pajama pants everyday cannot be healthy or fun. There is a girl I see every so often who wears blue pajama pants with snow flakes or something on them, and what makes it even worse is the fact that she does not look like she showers either. I have to admit, my freshman year, I had "time managment" issues and didn't squeeze in a shower everyday. I think everyone has gone through that at some point, but I eventually got over it. Further more, if I didn't shower I would at least make an effort to do something about it, like wearing actual clothes. Wearing your pajamas to class is usually the second benefit that people will mention when talking about why it's cool to go to a women's college, but I think this is lame. I don't see how you can feel studious while wearing what you slept in the night before...it implies sleeping, not thinking.
Maybe I'm just old-fashioned (no pun intended), but I think that everyone, everyday should dress as if they were going somewhere. You don't have to get fancy and I'm not implying that everyone should wear poodle skirts and suit ties everyday, but at least a nice, non-smelly pair of pants, jeans even. That's all I ask.
