Short women in skin-tight pants & faux tans.. in Math class? Stripper-high heels & thick, tacky eyeliner… at an 8:30 am class? Just curious, but what are you ladies thinking? My (female) buddy at Dal tells me it’s the same over there, not just at NSCC. The sad part is your focus on “getting a man” is pretty repugnant because of the obviousness, & the self-loathing & emulation of Paris Hilton involved. Why not get real, drop the crappy attitude & sleazy getups, & see if your romantic luck improves, along with your grades? BTW it’s sad & a little humorous to see all the women exactly like you strutting around downtown. You are not on “Flava of Love” you know!

I always find it funny to see the first year university students come to their early morning classes for the first month or so of school – dressed to the nines like they’re heading out on the town for some drinks that most of them are not legally entitled to.
I figure some of those girls must get up at 5am to achieve that level of inappropriateness first thing in the morning.
Or maybe their “walk of shame” was right to class instead of home first.
HAHAHAHAHAHA it’s so true, Bawls. I have a few family members who partook in this ritual and then realised “wtf?” and started wearing sweats to class.
I will admit I don’t go to class grubby-like, but there’s a happy medium and what a lot of girls don’t realise is, A LOT of men aren’t interested in over done make up and slutty clothes…I’ve had a lot more attention when I was dressed normally with no or minimal make up on than when I was all dolled up to go out. Just sayin’ 😉
Also, NM: I actually lol’d at that….because it’s probably quite plausible. I had friends who used to do that.
I get that it’s ridiculous…. are they trying to sway the bell curve by distracting everyone else???
what I don’t get are wearing pj’s to class. I know it’s early but you’re basically telling the prof that you’re too lazy to prepare for class.
i lived in residence years ago; the underage girls used to dress up (really, dress up) so they could drink with the other underage girls in their rooms.
this type of bitch is old news; dumb gals have been doing this thing for years – decades even.
Yeah, but by the second semester its all about the sweatpants and ugs.
Too true! when I was a student (living off campus, poor as an ant, scrimping and saving and fighting to get by, working as an administrative assistant and parenting my child alone) at university a few years ago, I noted these first year indicators:
– Matching Britney Spears blonde highlighted straightened hair
– Fake n bake perma-year-round-tan
– Fake gel tip nails (talons)
– Perfect fashionable (albeit uncomfortable) ensembles
– No winter gear whatsoever – as the rest of us trudged from building to building to attend classes in our sensible winter wear, the first year “Barbies” would have no hat, no mitts, and at the first sign of spring weather – i.e. a day without blizzardlike conditions – they would break out the plastic crap that is flip flops (this is before the advent of the disease that is crocs).
Fast forward to year 2 (he he he).
Every going-on 30 year old guy (who is kept there as a pseudo student so their team can be the “best”) on the football team has had their Barbie *ss, and “unfortunately” infested it with herpes or take your pic of infections.
So yeah, year 2: when I would look around the classrooms, I was now surrounded by a bunch of disheveled, cold sore infected, unhappy looking hags – their highlights had grown out in an unflattering way, their nails were chewed off from the anxiety of being the laughing stock of the other girls in their classes (who had not participated in the toga parties and the general use of 1st year girls as f*ck toys), and the realization of the rejection of the nice young men who planned to follow their mummies and daddies advice and “finish school and find a wife.” Guess what, Barbie, you will not be chosen. LOL.
They will “get” all the “man” (dick) they can handle in that first year and by second year if they survive will be lucky to get any man at all.
The sad part is that these wasted skin are living what for most of us is just a dream, they have an opportunity to be something and to gain a coveted higher education that to the working poor is just a little out of reach.
dam! I forgot the 2nd year grey sagging crotch jogging pants lol
HAHA awesome!!!
i work in the fashion industry and even I am not like that
Amen, Natural Flavour.
Fuck, this is one time I’m glad I’m older than dirt.
Yup, there’s a definite difference between looking “put-together” and looking like you came straight from the random’s house you landed at the night before.
“Short women in skin-tight pants & faux tans…” Although I totally agree with what you’re saying, I do wonder what being short has to do with it. You must have meant to say something else, since people can’t help being short. 😛 I can remember as if it were yesterday the day I saw a girl with her downtown face on, and a white see-through top with a black bra underneath which attending university. What are these people thinking?
Yeah but after a month or two they’ve put on so many lbs that all they were is sweatpants
when you start in school you only have enough room for the schools initals across your ass. by the time you’re finished you have the whole schools name written across your ass ..with room for the address..lol
I have noticed that women no longer wear pants, just tight tights.
Anton…thanks for mentioning the inevitable “freshman 15” ..gotta love it. The PJ years were a hoot, as it made life simpler for the students. No one cared, nor should they….it’s the hooker look that is annoying. My fave is “event” nights…no matter the weather, any sort of clothing that hides the “billboard” is a no-no. No matter how cold, wet, or windy, spike heels, and hooker attire are a must. For the guys? t-shirts only. Sprinting to the bar helps keep you warm at -12c 🙂 Who wants to pay two bucks for a coat check? Hell, ya only got 180 bucks for booze…why gonna waste any of it on stupid shit like jackets and taxis!
CHR LOL! How could one not rant about this an not mention the varsity stuff 🙂 yes indeed, some pretty old kickers out there..yessssss “students” some serious sports loopholes there…still chuckling! good post! saved me a whole bunch of digits!
Oh OH! almost forgot…I remember hearing a first year student bitching to her friend about her “stupid professor using big words” …”like, I like, have no, like, idea what he is like talking about, like, how are we like supposed to like learn anything”? If you think I am exaggerating, you probably graduated years ago.
Like…WHAT ever.
How else are you supposed to get an A?
Maybe you should ask one of these little tartettes how much she charges per hour. Then shrug and say it was an honest mistake.
And what they or anyone else wears matters, why?
And anyways seeing a little commando will brighten up the life any older guy.
In a perfect world, it wouldn’t. However, with the amount of sexual predators lurking around these days, especially in the South End, these girls could stir up more trouble than they can handle.
I know you shouldn’t judge people by how they look… but fuck that. It’s not like they were born with blond hair, orange skin, and continental drift brows 😉
like… what’s a derivative…??? like something organic that is composed of fruits and vitamins? I LOVE derivatives…. they’re SO healthy…
Meh, you think it’s bad there, wait till you get middle aged women wearing something similar to the office. One of the assistants in the office down the hall always wears stuff that makes her look like she’s going to the night at the Palace.
There is a girl in my class who looks like a skank but gets A ++ ‘s Op take your judgements and ride them all the way to tottal and utter disillusionment.
My favourite was the girl who I would regularly see around campus wearing black sweats and pink high heels, so bizarre.
Why do white chicks think it’s hot to spend hours in a fucking tanning booth? There’s this bitch they keep putting in “douches” magazine (she works for a magazine sponsor) and she’s ORANGE from all the tanning/fake tanner. O-R-A-N-G-E. It looks especially lovely with the fried bleach blond hair, lemmie tell ya. Thing *is* this is what these tanorexic girls are striving to become — oranges with fried hair.
How attractive.
I can’t convey clearly enough how much I giggle at these brainless twats. The thing that completes the ‘tanorexic’ look though is the all white gym suit by Fubu and a nose ring.
I think this particular tanorexic won a douches award for her wardrobe. Boggles the mind, really.
Ahahahah Douches magazine, nice. I love to pick those up and laugh.
NGF and I enjoy picking it up and drawing things on people’s “douches”
…because we’re 12.
I secretly want to be in Douches mag 🙁
Everyone does.
if you don’t go to a bar at least twice a week…. good luck.
Sometimes, when a girl dresses to “sexualize” her body, she does it because she lacks in self confidence. These girls could be miserable, and you don’t know what’s going on in there heads. Maybe they feel truly brainless, and use there cloths to cover up for it, distracting from what they feel the real problem is. Maybe instead of calling these girls bimbo’s or idiots, let them know that “asking what a word means” doesn’t have to mean they are stupid.
