Personal Adornment Reflection
What I wear changes on a day to day basis. Some days mostly when I have early classes I wake and just put on the closest thing that is to my bed because I am so tired I could care less on what I put on. But then on some days ( mostly when I get to sleep in) I actually think about what I am going to wear and those are probably the days that I express my personalty more through my clothes. But all in all i don’t put that much thought into what I wear. Looking back at what I wear, i realize that I don’t separate myself form the what the average college student wears. Most of the time will be wearing jeans and then an Oregon shirt. I try to wear a lot of sports shirt or funny shirts much like any college male would.This represents might personality a little bit, I am big into sports and consider myself to be somewhat funny. Then on the weekends at night i mostly wear a collard shirt and jeans like the majority of people. I wear a collard shirt on the weekends because it makes me look more classy and well put together in the eyes of other people. I choose to wear what I do because it makes me happy, and in the end if your not happy with what you are wearing and how you look then nobody is. Over the years my personality has not really changed and that is the same with my choice of clothes. I might have become a little more sophisticated with the way i dress compared to back in middle school where i just wore a t-shirt and basketball shorts everyday. But all in all my style has not changed that much over the years.
Growing up all through Elementary school my parents made me wear a collard shirt and either cargo shirts/ pants or jeans. I think that they made me look very nice for class at an early age because both of my parents growing up went to Catholic schools up until 9th grade. I think they also wanted to instill in me that you should always look your best when you are in public and also I think just wanted me to have some what of the same upbringing as they had . I had to wear collard shirts up until 7th grade, once i got to choose my own clothes i started to rebel and just wear sports shorts and t-shirts. But once I wised up and realized that it is important to represent yourself properly in public like my parents had always taught me. So in the end i think my parents have had a lot to do with how i represent myself in the community and in public.
University of Oregon is different from any other college because we have the sponsorship on Phil Knight and Nike throughout our whole campus. With that combined with tremendous school spirit everywhere on campus you look there is somebody with some type of Oregon gear on. On a day to day to basis i witness a lot of people value the good education and what a good school system the University of Oregon has become. As far as the core beliefs represented in the community, there is always a lot of people speaking their free mind on their beliefs all over campus especially over buy the fish bowl. There is always shirts being made and sold to represent different beliefs and how they effect the world.
