Spirit Day Friday – Pajama Day
“Sometimes I’m so tired, I look down at what I’m wearing, and if it’s comfortable enough to sleep in, I don’t even make it into my pajamas. I’m looking down, and I’m like, ‘T-shirt and stretchy pants? Yup, that’s fine. It’s pajama-y, good night.’ – Hugh Hefner
This friday January 16th is the Student Council Pajama Spirit Day, where you can happily wear whatever comfortable awesome pyjamas that you have; and also see some people’s same pyjamas they wear for years (cough cough Mr. McBride). How comfortable do you want to be?
