10 Things I 'Learned' From My Dress Code

Going to a private school for most of my whole life taught me so much about how to dress appropriately. I learned so many lessons from my frequent trips to the office for my dress code violations on how to dress so the young men around me don't "stumble."

I thought I'd share with you the 10 things I've learned from my high school dress code.

1. Shoulders are the most sexual part of a women's body.

So cover them up so those boys don't stumble.


2. Showing your bra straps suggests that you are ACTUALLY wearing a bra...who knew?

So cover up those vile sexual pieces of fabric, ladies!


3. The fingertip shorts rule is always correct and never objective.



4. We don't need to teach boys self-control.

We just need to teach girls how to dress and not distract the boys. It's socially acceptable to let guys judge women and what they wear.


5. Yoga pants and leggings are unacceptable.

They are not to be classified as pants because they cause boys to "stumble."


6. Teachers are exempt from the dress code.

They are TOTALLY allowed to wear a short skirt and call you out on yours. The rules do not apply.



7. Tattoos and piercings are tacky and you will never get a job if you have them.

Ignore the fact that your graphic design teacher has a sleeve.


8. My dress code taught me great creativity.

I can proudly say that I am an expert on finding loopholes.



9. Making girls change into distinct "scarlet letter" clothing who violate the dress code is perfectly acceptable.

It is not at all demeaning or embarrassing to a young girl's self-esteem.


10. Forcing dress code violators to miss class to go to the office and/or go home is completely acceptable.

They are a distraction and are in no way themselves trying to get an education.


In all, to avoid any dress code violations, you might as well just wear a paper bag to school next time you have the chance...like us in the picture below. In the end, you're going to school to learn not to distract.

Summer is hot and humid, and it's almost like summer was made specifically to drink the refreshing, cold, crisp wonderful, delicious, nutritious nectar of the gods. Which is none other than beer; wonderful cold beer. With summer playing peek-a-boo around the corner while we finish up this semester, it's time to discuss the only important part of summer. And if you haven't already guessed, it's beer. There are few things I take more seriously than my beer, in order are: sports... and beer. Here are my favorite summer brews:

Everything Bruce says in his classic rock songs.

Anyone who was born and raised in New Jersey (or anywhere really) knows of Bruce Springsteen, whether or not they like him is a whole other situation. I hope that his hundreds of classic rock songs and famous high energy performances, even in his sixties he can put on better concerts than people half his age, are at least recognizable to people of all ages. Love him or hate him (I identify with the former) you have to admit that some of his songs and interviews have inspirational quotes and lyrics.

New England Summers Are The BEST Summers

Why you should spend your next summer in New England.

Marconi Beach

Three years ago, I chose to attend college in Philadelphia, approximately 360 miles away from my small town in New Hampshire. I have learned many valuable lessons away from home, and have thoroughly enjoyed my time spent in Pennsylvania. One thing that my experience has taught me, however, is that it is absolutely impossible to beat a New England summer.
