At Oxford University, you have to wear full academic dress to your exams. A lot of people think it’s silly, a lot of other people like it, and a lot of people just get on with wearing it, because it’s a thing you have to do. (And the rules are gender-neutral now, which is a Cool Thing.)

Something you don’t have to have, but a lot of people do, is a carnation: white on your first exam, red on your last, and pink for everything in between.

Red carnations feel good.
