As a student of college I often observe things

that just plain make me laugh. Maybe its a pet peeve, maybe I’m a visionary (unlikely) but there’s

one thing that just bothers me. I walk around campus and see people wearing college gear from every

college EXCEPT the one they currently attend. These supporters almost always brandish a logo of a

school that is far better then the school they currently attend. What does this say about the person?

And how does it effect school spirit? I can only imagine what is running through potential students

minds as they see support for every school but the one they are about to enroll in. Id like to give

these people the benefit of the doubt and say perhaps it was a gift from a friend, or its their

parents school…but more likely than not its that strange quirk of human nature that thinks somehow

that shirt = a better education. The Greek stoic philosopher Epictetus said it best

“ Know, first, who yo u are; and then adorn yourself accordingly”.

No...You didnt do there.
