5 Outfits College Students Will Wear During The Semester

There’s actually a lot more to college dress code than just sweats.

This is the weirdest article for me to be writing: I spent the last month of high school wearing pajamas and a blanket to class. Walking into college I was assured that nobody wears anything but sweatpants and sweatshirts to finals week which had me ridiculously hyped, but the reality of college caught me by surprise. Maybe Hunter’s dress code is a smidge different because we’re right on the Upper East Side and getting on the subway looking like you just crawled out of the trash is “unacceptable” and “lazy” or something, but there’s actually a lot more to college dress code then just sweats.

1. The majority of everyone wearing Actual Responsible Adult clothing

Don’t let college culture lie to you; there are people coming in casual wear, looking like they’ve slept a whole 8 hours, coming down the escalator laughing with their friends like they’re in a commercial. Props to you guys for obviously having your life together enough to dress like you care.

2. Someone’s walking through the hallways in formal wear

I mean it – slacks and a white shirt. They’ve got an interview or a meeting, and you can hear them coming from a hallway away because they’re most definitely wearing a bit of a heel. Godspeed homie, hope your interview goes well.

3. We get it, you work out

These guys have got on sport shorts, a sleeveless tee, sneakers, and a yoga mat included on a sporadic basis. They’re the embodiment of that student athlete meme. Bonus points if they jog into the classroom a minute before class is due to start, sweating, and announce “sorry I’m late, I was at the gym.”

4. Walked off the runway and into Intro to Ethics 101

Maybe it’s because New York is a fashion capital, but I’ve seen people walking the hallways in outfits that look like they came alive from a magazine or a catwalk. Their makeup is always precise, especially during early morning classes, because that’s the best time to rub into your face the fact that you’re barely awake in your 8 am philosophy class while they’re looking pristine.

5. The college look we were all expecting

There is still hope! No one can keep their look up all semester round, so when the stress of finals week hits, the slacking begins. No one says anything about the stain on your sweatshirt or the fact that you’ve wore your hair up in a bun every day this week.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.

Top 10 Reasons My School Rocks!

Why I Chose a Small School Over a Big University.

I was asked so many times why I wanted to go to a small school when a big university is so much better. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure a big university is great but I absolutely love going to a small school. I know that I miss out on big sporting events and having people actually know where it is. I can't even count how many times I've been asked where it is and I know they won't know so I just say "somewhere in the middle of Wisconsin." But, I get to know most people at my school and I know my professors very well. Not to mention, being able to walk to the other side of campus in 5 minutes at a casual walking pace. I am so happy I made the decision to go to school where I did. I love my school and these are just a few reasons why.
