Decorating and wearing the "transcendentalist" shirt was an interesting experience. Throughout the day, I recieved comments such as "what are you doing?" and most frequently, "what are you wearing?". I responded with "It's who I am", and then went on to explain the assignment. Some loved the idea: a few people even said "That's what I would have put!", referring to my love of vegetables, old movies, or yoga. Through these comments, I realized I am not completely alone in my hobbies or intertests. Others, though, cast me strange looks when I told them about the purpose of it. Though I did get mixed responses, my peers generally reacted positively to the shirt. Overall, I thought it was fun and shed some light on who is more open-minded at South and who isn't. More importantly, though, I definitely felt comfortable in my own skin while sporting my "transcendentalist" attire!
P.S. I will add a picture of my shirt when it comes out of the wash
A blog to keep track of my writing in Honors American Literature!
