Dress for Success
By Jordan Foley, Political Science, Class of 2011
The best advice that I can give for any student hoping to get ahead is to dress for success! I know that it’s easy to roll out of bed and throw on a pair of sweats, but don’t fall into that comfy trap! Taking the extra time to present yourself can really go a long way. Get up a few minutes earlier than you normally would, get a shower, and find some nice clothes to wear. You’ll feel active, attentive, and ready to take on the day.
I’m not saying throw on a suit and tie; a pair of jeans and a nice T-shirt will do in most situations. It is less about what you wear and more about having the discipline to get up every morning and do a little extra to present yourself in the best way.
Whatever field you decide to throw yourself into after graduation will most likely require that you wear something other than pajamas. You might as well start now by making it a daily routine to get out of bed and into some decent clothes.
