A lot of times what women do if they get a good job after graduating college is they will get a new "professional" looking hairstyle and buy the work wardrobe (from someplace like Kohl's or JC Penny's) and this helps them achieve that "image".
Thanks again. I tried some of the things you guys talked about like saying hi and pretending to be interested in something else. It worked. I think I even caught some people using the "pretend to be interested in something else" strategy.
