So I got my high school uniform today. It was delivered to my house.
I need to wear a uniform to the new school I’m going to obviously. So when I saw it, I remembered how much I hated wearing a uniform in elementary school. I thought that they were ugly, that they gave you no self expression in your outfits, and everyone looked exactly the same. I couldn’t wait to get to junior high school so that I wouldn’t be cursed to wear a uniform. From there, I would continue to a high school with no uniforms, and things would be great.
When I got to junior high though, I found out more things then self expression came with not having to wear a uniform. Competition. Jelousy.Stress over picking outfits.The WHOLE thing. People’s social status I realized could actually change because of what clothes they wore. I noticed girls who wore “nicer” brands were more popular. I remember there were girls in the sixth grade who wore the EXACT same outfit as the other girl every day. To show who there friends were. I thought that only happened in movies, but I was wrong. As the years went by, I started to want my uniform again.
Don’t get me wrong, not having a uniform wasn’t a terrible experience. I used to pick out my outfits with poor judgement. From not having uniforms, I have gained a sense of style in clothing, and I would say I am pretty stylish. I have learned how to present myself better.
With uniforms, though, it is SO much simpler, I realized. Sure, you don’t have much individuality with your clothing, but at least there isn’t competition, you can’t get jelous over anyone’s outfits, and you don’t have to stress about what outfit your going to wear, if people will like your outfit, etc. AND wearing a uniform gives me much more time to work on my hair 
hehe just kidding.
And these uniforms are pretty freaking adorable.
I think I will like spending my four years in high school in a uniform.
