This is one of the things grown ups typically learn to live
with. Sneakers and jeans... are not a human right. You don't
get to dress like Lil' Wayne or whatever... boo freaking hoo.
Buy a few ties, a couple button up shirts, and some leather
shoes, and wear them. Try to transfer to a school with a more
lax dress code at the appropriate time if it is that important
to you.
