The following items have become far too prevalent on the Vanderbilt campus:

1. Brightly-colored pants embroidered with sea creatures/sailboats/Poseidon/whatever aquatic creature

2. Those old man hats nerds wear (I think most of them are fedoras.)

3. I had no idea popped collars would last this long. It looks just as stupid as it did when I was a freshman.

4. THOSE STUPID-ASS CROAKIES

5. Plaid shorts (I thought people were joking when they started wearing these.)

6. Boat shoes

7. Boat shoes without socks (I DON'T CARE WHAT YOU SAY; THIS DOES NOT QUALIFY AS "BUSINESS CASUAL" UNLESS YOUR BUSINESS IS YACHTING. CHANCES ARE IT IS NOT.)

I guess that's every trend I really hate at the moment. Vanderbilt fashion is like a Hydra, however, and whenever a stupid trend dies two take its place.
