Senior year I got runner up for biggest bed head.. I consider this a proud accomplishment. I had a conversation the other day with some of my friends who went to private schools about school uniforms. I remember freshman year of high school I tried my best to look as primped and stylish as possible pretty much every day of school. This is when looking your best was very important. Sophomore year was the year that I started to experiment with my style. I started throwing together items of clothing that normally ended up looking like what I would imagine a blind person's outfit would look like had they picked out the outfit on their own. Sometimes my outfits looked hip... other/most times, not so much. This is when being an individual was very important. Junior year was when I finally started to settle into my own personal, more calmed down, style. However, I do recall that after two or so weeks into the year, 3 out of the 5 school days I was sporting a sweatshirt or leggings. This is they year when everyone starts to become really lazy. My wardrobe senior year was a whole different animal. My outfit consisted of sweatpants or leggings,  a t-shirt, and a hoodie. Any my infamous hair-do that almost made me win biggest bed head was me rolling out of bed after sleeping with my hair wet (this made it extra curly) and throwing it back into a low bun without being brushed, smoothed out, etc. To help give you a better idea of what this looked like, imagine, if you will, a person with their hair in a bun and then having a pillow fight. And then maybe rubbing a few balloons on their head. This was the year that everyone starts to not give two cakes what anyone thinks about them. Last year I managed to break my obsession with sweatpants and move on to wearing jeans but unfortunately I did a poor job of shedding the t-shirts and hoodies. After doing an unhealthy amount of shopping over Christmas break I told myself that I have to start ditching the sweats and putting my clothes to use. So far I've done a pretty good job and have yet to wear a pair of sweats to class. I'm hoping that I can keep it up for the rest of the semester so that I get in the habit of looking presentable when I go forth into the real world.
