I recently got accepted into a university and will be transferring from a community college to a university in the fall. My mom checked my syllabus and they are very strict about attire for my lab. I have to take chemistry 2 and it’s required for my major. They said that no skin whatsoever can be showing and we must wear long pants and leggings won’t work. Thing is, for my religion we wear skirts. I was thinking about wearing something under my skirt, but I don’t know what would be most appropriate. I wear leggings in the house and don’t own a pair of pants so I would have to go shopping. For anyone who’s taken these kinds of labs, would they be ok with that? Is it just necessary to have long clothing or would pants be necessary? I’m just wondering how to work around this. Thanks! (link)

Hi there,
I would say that the first step should be to talk about it with your professor, and let him or her know that it's not that you don't want to wear the designated attire, but that for religious reasons you can't.
You should be able to work out a compromise. I wish you the best of luck.

I’m in band and I feel like I don’t belong. I’m not great at playing my instrument. There’s this really hard song “creed”, and I cannot play it at all! Practice doesn’t work. I feel like I should quit, but soon the band is going to an amusement park, and that’s sounds fun so I don’t know. (link)

Hi there,
I definitely think you should not quit band. I know my son felt exactly like you did when he was a freshmen and even partially into his sophomore year, and he was really thinking about quitting. I told him to stick it out, and now he is so glad he did. His band friends are like his family, and he's graduating this year with a great group of friends, strong musical skills, and he even won his school's band award.
I know it's hard, but it's really worth it, and you'll make friends for life. It just might take a bit.
I hope this helps!
