Funny T-Shirts Are For Lazy Days, Not Business Days

By Jason Mills


You have finally graduated college, after a strong 4-year run as a senior. You stayed as long as they would let you, you changed your major 15 times, and you've finally run out of financial aid. I suppose it's probably time to venture forth and find out what this whole "real world" business is all about. You need to get a job, you need to get religion, and you need to get a girlfriend. There are a few things that you need to change, however, before you can achieve any of these goals...starting with your bulging closet filled with funny t-shirts and pajama pants.

One of the most important places that you're going to want to ditch the idea of wearing funny t-shirts is to the job interview. You're a burgeoning professional now that you're out of college, but that first step to that new personae is to actually get a job. For anywhere from four to ten years, you have worn funny t-shirts and pajama pants to class, meetings with administrators, and out to eat. You may have forgotten what a sloppy individual that's turned you into. You will never get the job you want if you don't wear something with a collar to the all-important interview.

Once you've managed not to completely turn an employer off from what minimal skills you have to offer, it's time for you to make things right with the Big Guy upstairs. You did so many bad things in college, that it is impossible to count the sins. You would need a calculator that works a lot better than that old TI-85 you spilled beer all over. Once again, your funny t-shirts are not going to help you here. You're going to need to kiss some serious heavenly booty to make amends, and your current wardrobe isn't going to impress a Sunday School teacher, let alone a deity.

Women are never far from the mind of a young man in his twenties, and may even be more important to some people than a job or religion. Guess what, though? You're never going to get past an awkward "hello" if you aren't wearing something other than funny t-shirts to the bar. You are a post-grad now, and you have to really start acting like one if you want to get any attention in the very least bit from the female gender. Women mature something like 400x faster than men, so you have to at least pretend to be an adult with responsible tendencies if you want them to take you seriously.

I'm not sure if you've been paying attention, but I just told you that you wouldn't get a job, find religion, or get a girlfriend if you don't stop wearing funny t-shirts everywhere you go. If that isn't motivation to go out and buy some clothes that don't have curse words, references to beer, or semi-nude women on them...well, I don't know what is. You could always just sit on your couch, play video games, and hope your parents will let you move back in. Funny t-shirts may be hard to give up, but some people just never learn how to live in a post-graduate world.
