Dress to Impress: Despite trend of casual style, some students choose to wear professional clothing
By Amanda Nguyen
<anguyen@hilite.org>
Juniors Reid Watson and Elizabeth “Betsy” Fuson defy what they say is a growing trend of going casual; on the contrary, Watson and Fuson dress to impress.
“People nowadays dress very, very, very casual. It doesn’t bother me, but it’s not me. It’s not how I prefer to do things,” Watson said.
Watson said he started dressing up early junior year because it’s more professional and, to some extent to impress girls. He started dressing up after working at a Web company that required him to dress nicely. He said he thought it would be easier if he just wore nice clothes. The side effects of that decision were a good perk, too. Watson said, “People treat you differently. Adults are nicer to you when you dress up too.” Read more »

More importantly, “Star Trek” reminds us what it feels like to be part of something bigger than ourselves. For a few hours, everyone in the theater could feel like captains of a starship, barreling deep through outer space. Read more »
