I know that last week I said you should be able to wear what you want to school, but this week I would like to clarify. You should wear what you are comfortable wearing but try not to look like you just crawled out from under a rock. You are, after all, in a public place. When I say this, I mean that you shouldn't be coming to school in your pajamas. Pajamas are for sleeping in, and while some of you may argue that you do a lot of sleeping at school, if you are really that tired maybe you should have just stayed home. At least raise the bar and put on some sweats. I have no problem with sweat pants.
I really don't mean to come across as offensive or mean, but I think that there should be a balance between red carpet and I-stayed-up-until-three-am-playing-Mortal-Combat. The balance is called practical. I'm not telling you what to wear and there's nothing wrong with spending the day in your pajamas and not showering or making your bed as long as you're at home.
Look at it this way: you don't see the teachers come to school in their pajamas, do you? I hope not. This is because we are in a professional setting, no matter how immature us teens act. We should keep it comfortable not only for ourselves, but for others around us. Face it, it wouldn't be comfortable for us students if our teachers showed up in their pajamas, so why should that rule not apply to us? The same goes for all these moms I see who drop their five year old kids off at school in their pajamas. It's kind of gross and looks like you've given up on life and can't take care of yourself.
As I said last week, your self esteem will be greatly improved if you wear the clothes that you want to wear. But it also works the other way around: if you wear clothes that are casual but not sloppy, you will feel good about yourself. I know that this is sort of a rant and I don't write in this style very often, but I felt the need to bring it up.
