Post the Second

Clearly I am very adept at coming up with clever and intriguing names for my blog posts. Aren't you all just so curious to know what could have inspired the awesomeness that is post the second? And by "you all" I am of course referring to the anthropologists of the future who are reading this in an attempt to better understand the homo sapien race in the 21st century. Sorry for the dull read guys.

So as I'm trying to figure out what on earth this blog is going to be about, I've settled on a topic for today, and it is..... FASHION!

Now don't get too excited/repulsed, I'm not talking about the big names out there, I will not be discussing D&G or Gucci. I'm talking about the fun and fabulous world of COLLEGE FASHION!

That's right, the exciting wardrobe of college students everywhere. See, today I finished up my shopping for back to school clothing. The thing is, I've found that there are only so many different types of clothing a college student ever wears, no matter how well stocked their wardrobe.

THE STAPLES

Every college student has at least one of each of these, although hopefully they have more as these pieces are worn 90% of the time while on campus.

THE SCHOOL HOODIE

This is really the most perfect thing ever as it performs multiple functions. Not only does it keep the wearer warm, but it conveys the type of "school spirit" the administration loves to see in its co-eds. The hoodie must be at least one size to big, so as to constantly make it look as though you are hiding something. What's in there? Spare notebooks? Gold bars? The freshmen 15? The hoodie is of course acceptable wear to any and all school functions, including pool related activities.

SWEATPANTS

It's a sweatshirt for your legs! And they allow you to get an extra 15 minutes of sleep in the morning! What's not to love? In fact you can wear them to class, go back to your dorm and take a nap, wake up and grab dinner, study, and go to bed all without having to change outfits! Although there is a warning to be related here, them power is strong in these pants, and they may cause you to fall asleep at random times of day regardless of your location.

T-SHIRTS

Now hold your horses, I'm not talking about 30 dollar American Eagle tees here, I'm talking hardcore had them since freshman year of high school, and worn them into a ratty mess tees. These shirts fit like a glove and I mean the literally, in that you've worn them so often that they have conformed to the shape of your body and will not be moved by man nor washing machine.

JEANS

For when you want to try a little bit harder.

FLANNEL PJ BOTTOMS

See Sweatpants.

OTHER RANDOM GARMENTS

Of course there is that other 10% of the time to worry about...

"GOOD" SHIRTS

These are for when the parents come to visit. You pull them out specifically to show mom and dad that you're becoming an upstanding citizen instead of just a keg-standing citizen. Also occasionally on laundry day, when you're out of old T-Shirts.

FORMAL ATTIRE

Every college student has something that can be dressy in the very unlikely occasion that they will need something dressy. I personally bring a black dress of conservative length that works for everything from funerals to fancy restaurants solely based on the fear that one day I will need to be dressed up and have nothing to wear.

ACCESSORIES

Devotion to these last about a week before everyone decides that they are far too much effort and they are relegated to a box that you will only remember once you are packing it all up in May.

Well, that about does it for college clothing. I'm hard pressed to come up with anything I bring to school that doesn't fit into one of these cattegories.

Well, till next time!
