Mostly A’s
Cool Casual – You are so hip and trendy with your non conformist style. You have a bike, a reusable Sigg water bottle and a Chrome messenger bag. The threads under your gown are a hip indie band T-shirt, those cute skinny jeans and a pair of Tom’s shoes. Graduation means you cannot deny the real world and the not-so-trendy job force that comes with it.
Mostly B’s
Dressed to Impress -You have your professors in your iPhone listed under their first names. You were president of all the clubs you were in, and the library should dedicate a room to you for how much time you spent there. Graduation may not mean much to you, only because it is just the first stepping stone in your career of excellence. Your gown covers up your most professional outfit, a button-down ruffle shirt, crisp slacks and shiny dress shoes. Luckily, by dressing successfully, people will at least assume you are successful.
Mostly C’s
O’Natural – You are the perfect movie representation of college. You are sporadic, witty and crave attention. Everyone, including yourself, marvels at the fact that this graduation ceremony will actually happen. However, you’ll go out with one last hoorah from the ultimate entertainer: The only clothing under your gown will be the pair of shoes on your feet. This final act could be ruled as a success – or it could end up being a rude awakening to the real world outside of party central, where clothing is not optional.
