Losing my faith in humanity... one college student at a time.

Hats are neat. I am a huge football fan. I can usually be found sporting a Michigan Wolverines hat. I enjoy seeing others in hats. I like watching their hats traverse campus, bopping up and down. I like to size hat wearers up by their hats.

All white?

Frat boy.

Tap out?

Thinks wrestling is real.

Cardinals?

Not as cool as a Cubs fan.

Ohio State?

Sworn enemy.

However, every once in a while my eyes will come across a hat that makes me angry. You see its not the logo, or the color, or th face beneath the hat that heats my tea. Its more so an issue of how the hat is being worn.

This last week, I saw a student who was in the Liberal Arts Center who had an interview with his advisor, or his professor, doesn't matter which. He had nice khakis and a North Face fleece on ( I swear I wasn't checking him out). But his hat, dear God his hat.

His hat was backwards, somewhat. It hung from the crown of his head, with the bill jutting out directly behind his left ear. I don't know why it made me want to hit him. Maybe because the last time I wore a hat like that was when I was thirteen, having just been dropped off at the mall, by my mom.

I eventually forgot all about him, until I saw another student, wearing his hat the same way. That's when I got really upset. I was upset that I couldn't stop them from wearing their hats, shirts, shoes and pants like idiots. Some of these guys look like thirty year old men, but dress like they just got their driver's license.

But that, my friends, is the true sadness of it all. They will never stop dressing like this. Their hats will always hang from their heads and their pants will always dangle from their ankles. And I'll be left, baffled, pants pulled up, losing my faith in humanity... one college student at a time.
