The odd thing is that she quite liked the white school knickers that had been required at her previous school. But these navy knickers felt incredibly childish. The girls had to do PE wearing just their knickers and white t-shirts while the boys got to wear white shorts. It was just so juvenile. And as for being slippered! At her old school they had a proper crook-handled cane that just looked wonderful and was deployed to painful effect by their tweed-suited old headmistress. That was a proper ‘big-girl’ punishment. Navy knickers, and a silly old slipper. It was like being an eight year-old prep-school girl again instead of a mature twenty year-old undergraduate. Why on earth had she allowed her parents to talk her into choosing this private university with its demeaning uniform and silly rules? -- source link
