SAMPLE STUDENT ESSAY: “0Closet Conundrum” by Jeanette Gregory


Most romances begin because of physical attraction, proximity, or the desire for security and/or a family. All of these factors are certainly important and could be the foundation of a long and happy marriage. But I would like to suggest another quality that is too often overlooked, especially by young women who have stars in their eyes. Before entering into the bonds of matrimony, the prospective bride should take a peek at her intended’s closet. In my experience, I found that most men can be classified as one of the following “closet types.”.

If the bride is fortunate, she will discover that her mate is that rare male who uses only his share of the closet and hangs his clothes neatly in place. His shirts, pants, and suits are all on clothes racks. He places his ties on a tie rack and his hats in a box or on an upper shelf, and he arranges his shoes in an orderly fashion on a shelf or, if no shelves are available, on the floor below his precisely hung clothing. These men are rare and usually suffer from some kind of compulsion.

More common is the male who does manage to keep his clothing in the closet but goes no further. Clothing is tossed casually, almost recklessly, into the closet and remains where it lands (usually on the floor but occasionally on a shelf or even precariously clinging to a hanger). This closet type is nothing if not casual—not only about his wardrobe but also about his mate’s time. Empty hangers will collect, unused and naked, on the rack—or even worse, on the floor tangled with his clothing. Thus, he never really knows which clothes are clean and which have been worn. As a result, he (or his overworked mate) frequently needs to launder clothing that has not even been worn in order to ensure that it is actually clean. (I won’t even go into the problem of pressing/ironing because this type is rarely particular about such niceties.)

Even worse is the male who refuses to use a closet. His clothing usually falls to the floor wherever he is when he sheds it. He may drape a coat or a shirt over a chair, but he throws jeans, sweat suits, underwear, and socks on the floor. If his mate gets tired of looking at these random piles of clothing, she can launder them and carefully hang them in the closet. However, this unselfish act is all too often rewarded by a scolding (or, worse yet, a tirade) because he can’t find his favorite sweatshirt or cap. He knew “just where he left it,” but it is now “lost.”

Obviously, the ideal solution to these problems is to have “his” and “her” closets. Of course, if the husband is one who refuses to use “his closet” (preferring to leave his clothing in more convenient and readily accessible piles), there is still a problem. But, at least, the unfortunate woman who married him will have a place to throw the piles of clothing if unexpected company drops by.
