To Be Honest, Business Attire Is Almost Never Necessary, And It Shouldn't Be Required For Everyone

No matter how you spin it, all of the reasons to wear business clothes to work are for the sake of appearances. Isn't it time to move past such a superficial matter and just let us wear what we want?

When I express my contempt for wearing business clothes, I am often met with disagreement. People have told me that they quite like wearing button downs and slacks and lookin' dapper every day. To that, I say, "Great!" If you like business clothes, by all means, go ahead and wear what you want. But don't force such an antiquated work norm on me and everyone, regardless of whether we like it.

It's been seven months since I came to college. I feel like I've been in college for a while, but at the same time not long at all. There's been a lot of firsts and a lot of lasts this past year and during spring semester I've gained more awareness, learned how to manage time and get involved.

Even though I didn't miss living in a dorm over the long breaks, they are many things I've learned:

25 Thoughts Every UVA First-Year Has While Scheduling Classes

If I don't get into this class, my world is going to fall apart.

25 Thoughts Every UVA First-Year Has While Scheduling Classes

Lavendaire

In the last two months of the fall semester, there are a multitude of events and holidays: Thanksgiving, Christmas, and finals season, just to name a few. However, one of the largest and most stressful events of the fall semester is not a holiday or final exams. Instead, it is the scheduling of classes for the spring semester. If you are someone who doesn't believe this, you are most likely an athlete or scholar with priority scheduling times or you are just extremely lucky in your class selection. For those of you who are first-years with the worst registration times or just students without priority, this statement is probably the most factual thing that you have heard this week. With worrying about curriculum requirements, prerequisites for majors, and having one of the last times to register for classes, it is a very stressful time in the semester. And, if the site crashes right before or even during your registration time, it seems like the whole world is going to end. To celebrate this oh-so-lovely time of class registration, I compiled a list of what everyone thinks about while scheduling their classes.
