If you are in college then you are in the business of getting an education. Therefore, you should LOOK like you are about the business of getting an education. I can remember myself in the mid-80's with the big hair standing straight up on my head that changed colors every other week (blue, purple, etc.). I used to dress in the classic "Flash Dance/I've been raped" look with the torn up shirts and all. BUT you never know who is visiting campus and who you might run into. You only have once to make a first impression.

I used to think that the students who dressed up were trying to separate themselves (haves from the have nots). I used to hate on this girl who wore suits and carried a Coach briefcase to class. Dam, who was she trying to be? I didn't realize that even though I thought it was my right to walk around looking anyway I wanted it really didn't make a whole lot of sense. I wish that we did have strict dress code back then and that someone actually had told me to look better.
