THANK YOU.
I’ve seen students show up to class in their pajamas.
Also I’ve had professors curse during lectures and discussion groups.
“Professionalism” is relative especially in a space like college.
Cuz my professors are paying me right?
professors do not give a fuck what you wear. and if they did, what bills they paying?
Well, technically, you’re paying them, so you’re their boss.
Sometimes certain classes will require “business attire” for presentations. But other than that, y’all I wore pajamas and sweats and booty shorts and tanks with my bra showing and basically whatever else I fancied on any given day day, depending on the weather and how much sleep I was running on. And I guarantee you I was not the only one. We all did it.
Some people wear heels and cute ass outfits every day, bc shit like that was literally not allowed in high school and they’re thrilled to be able to express themselves for once. And I’d sit right next to them in my pajama pants and an old tank top after I rolled out of bed having slept less than two hours. No one batted an eye about it.
Seriously. Whatever makes you happy and comfortable.
Also on an unrelated note, you literally never have to ask to use the restroom. Just get up and go. No one cares.
Listen guys, college is a strange place where just about anything goes.
Like as long as you’re not hurting anyone and vaguely following whatever arbitrary rules your department comes up with (and you know, not breaking laws) then you’re probably fine.I’ve seen people wear snuggles walking across campus, super dressed up in a full suit and tie, a dress in the snow, a sweatshirt and jeans in 85°, pjs in the middle of the afternoon, eclectic combinations only art kids can come up with, and kids wrapped in blankets. Literally the only thing you would get judged on MAYBE is wearing a shirt from your school’s bitterest rival, and even then it’s a maybe depending on the school.
There’s a girl i see around sometimes who skateboards to class in a pikachu onesie and a hijab and she’s honestly an icon
In my first year we had a 9am lecture and there was at least one occasion where a duvet came in. I assume that there was a person inside because it was vaguely person-shaped and moved about, but genuinely all you could see was the duvet. It sat down at one of the desk chairs, a pen and paper emerged followed by a hand, it took notes all class then it just…left. To this day I have no clue who that duvet was. And not a single person in that room questioned it for even a second. THAT is what university is like.
On a dare, but also because it helped anxiety, I carried a stuffed animal to all of my classes one day when I was 19. Nobody batted an eye.
At the absolute worst, you’ll become the Campus Cryptid – ours was a ginormous bearded bear of a person who always wore a tacti-kilt (even in -30) and longboarded around campus. Everyone who saw them was Blessed.
People don’t discuss what college students there because it doesn’t fucking matter – you’re literally there to learn. Not to be fashionable, not to impress a clique, you’re paying ridiculous prices to try and stuff your brain full of specialised knowledge. As long as your balls aren’t hanging out, no one gives a shit.
And your professor is never your boss. Slap that shit right out of your head. You are at Uni because you wanted to go, get your moneys worth
It’s literally fine unless your school has a specific dress code, and even then in my experience no one enforces it beyond “you must be clothed”
good shit
I legit saw a random dude walking around campus dressed as batman in spring semester once no one cared, one kid in my english class wore an attack on titan cloak every class no one cared, no one really cares as long as you are actually wearing clothes. Trust me.
