<p>See we’ve got the lego types and those that walk around with rubik’s cubes, but we’ve got a lot that are just smart and funny and not cute in the “designer” way, but are actually pretty cute. Ditto for the girls.
I don’t find anything wrong with being shallow. I mean, I judge people based on how they look, and if you show up on a date with a ripped up shirt that has stains on it, and you’re obviously not showered…then I’m assuming you obviously don’t care enough to put some effort in your date. I do think there’s a difference between caring that you look good (as in neat, clean, and comfy) and caring about labels. The former I agree with. I won’t dress up to go to class but I will go thrift store hopping for cute, funky, and cheap clothes. The latter I disapprove of. Since when is name brand important? All that make the difference is the end result, and if you want to look like everyone else with same exact clothes, knock yourself out, but don’t stick up your nose at people if they don’t do the same.</p>
<p>Funny how the same thing is true about a college education. Harvard and Yale are deemed as such amazing schools but even if you look at Princeton Review, they don’t have a lot going for them other than the low acceptance rate. The best classroom experience and education is usually found at schools that are much more underrated like Reed and our very own UChicago. Therefore, I think that the people who want to go to Uchicago for the name, are really missing out on what it has to offer.</p>
<p>Sorry that was my rant of the day. My friends and I were discussing this today in detail.</p>
