6/6/06, a dorm room at the University of Vermont: I don't understand why people wear "nice" clothes to certain functions. I didn't understand it when I was a kid, either. I remember asking people why we wore "nice" clothes to church. "It's God house," they would explain. "We want to look nice in God's house." As I got older, I began to wonder if God really cared what I wore to church. My guess was no, which led me to another thought: were people really dressing "up" to impress others? And is that the real reason they were going to church, because society expected them to do it? I say humbug to all that. No one should do something just because everyone else expects it.
