Anti-fashion week
The eager members of the class of 2013 invade campus, tantalized by prospects of fresh identities. The first-day outfit is laboriously selected, the obscure lingo haphazardly lands in conversations to maximize coolness and accessories abound. Welcome to Yale. Define yourself hard and fast. Embrace the many faces of a desperate aesthetic.
The Idle Jock
Between your 5:30 am practices and your underwhelming performances in language classes, there’s obviously no time to put on some respectable clothing. The baggy Yale sweats, “I just like the range of motion” spandex, and...
hater? whatevs she has some decent points.
This article is spectacular. Little too close to home for Redemption?
the wisdom and insight this woman displays is astounding and beyond her years. this is a fantastic article. and redemption, i am sorry that you've just realized you're a yale newb, but don't take it out on this great authos. this is a genuinely funny piece.
this is just mean.
astute, incisive, but still needs some maturation. Look forward to more from AG
a new nd powerful voice in new haven. go, girl: you rock.
this is actually pretty stupid. tell me, how should people dress?
You can't snark at people for putting on airs and then conclude by snarking at people for not putting on airs.
what a terrible person
It is so offensive and disrespectful to generalize athletes the way you do here, and the way the YD"N" continues to do in their articles. Not only your implication that all athletes at Yale are idiots, but that what they do isn't that hard is outrageous and clearly made totally out of ignorance. If you think that all varsity athletes do is shuffle from class to practice to Toad's, you clearly have never been an athlete nor have ever met one. combined with several hour long practices six days a week, weight training, physical therapy, charity events that Yale teams are spectacularly active in, school work and various other extracurricular activities, I guess not all Yale athletes have finding the right, fun hipster head band to wear everyday as high on their list of priorities as some other students do.
You really want to even call this journalism?
More like bitter, uniformed ramblings from a freshman who has had less than a month at Yale to make anything more than broad generalizations.
Good job.
way to be judgmental, frosh. you've been here like, four hours. shut up. (also, lily pulitzer and baubles? where do you hang out? you'll see this on some hipster's mom, MAYBE.)
i don't see how this is informative to anyone. yes people dress badly, but i would venture to say that there are people who dress badly EVERYWHERE. and as an athlete myself, i find the "idle jock" completely ignorant. i'm sorry my schedule's a bit busier than yours so i don't have time to obsess over what others think about my wardrobe. woe is me for not taking the time to pick out a gorgeous outfit every day. That would involve me waking up even earlier (than my supposed 5.30 am practice--that's only swimming, crew and football thank you very much) and since I value sleep over other people's superficial opinions of me that's not gonna happen.
and as a frosh, i'm sorry but no one cares what you have come up with in less than a semester. you take care of your style. i'm sure according to you it's fabulous. but don't insult other people for no good reason.
wtf is this girl and wtf is she pretending to be? you've been here for what, a week? you think you can already categorize your entire class?
well, no you cannot. can't believe this was actually even considered to be put on scene.
