It's tough being a university student at this age. All my friends are having babies and jobs where they wear suits. Some of my friends' babies are already wearing suits, while I'm still writing essays.
Every day that I go out do do my university-student-type things wearing sneans, it's a reminder of my failings. So it's nice when there is an opportunity to wear a suit. There generally are only 2 1/2 situations where I can wear suits:
- Weddings
- Formal dances
As it turns out, there is one extra reason to wear a suit, and that is International Suit Up Day, which is an ancient annual tradition held on October13 every year since 2009. Yes, this is a real thing - it has its own website: http://internationalsuitupday.com/
Because if it has a website it must be true.
Suit Up Day was a great day. In fact, it was far too hot to be wearing a suit - let alone for biking to uni in a suit. I'm always under the impression that if you see a cyclist in a suit, he's probably had his licence revoked for drink driving. Still, I had a great time. Giving a presentation is somehow a lot more forceful with a suit. Also, since for me it was the last day of class for the 2nd semester, it gave off a sort of graduation-feeling. That's the power of the suit.
Remember this day for next year. Or you have a job where you have to wear a suit anyway. What I'm trying to say is, hopefully this was my last International Suit Up Day.
