Jalaysia Thomas – Freshman, English major

“I like to stand out a little bit, but not too much. I think styling yourself helps people grow to better understand their identity. Self-expression is really important. I like to communicate that I have all these different interests like I have this band shirt, and skateboarding shoes, and this jewelry that says I like crystals and whatnot. I also have the skirt which says that I don’t exactly care too much about having a super nice outfit. I just like to wear whatever I want.”
