Answer 1

You should just be yourself and buy things DIY like from etsy.

Answer 2

Sweetie - don't worry about it.

No one in college is going to try & take your "identity" from you.

There are plenty of kids in college who don't wear what's in, or don't listen to popular music. TRUST ME.

Honestly, college is where you're going to meet a ton of alternative, different, non-mainstream people ever. :)

Everyone is college material.

However, do know when to dress up - Job interviews, meetings, etc.

But you can still keep your alt. style. :]

Answer 3

your identity is not what you wear but what you are..you will still be 'you' no matter what clothes you 'think' you have to wear. your personality is what defines you. and if you even make it to college, dont worry about what people think you 'are'. concentrate on what you went to college for in the first place. good luck.
