I have
been at college for a week now and amongst all the thousands of freshmen and
now upperclassmen arriving on campus one thing remains unsettled-is there a so
called style for college? There is the obvious ensemble for working out:
athletic shorts and a t-shirt and gym shoes. But for an everyday schedule—wake up,
eat, go to class, rush to another class, have a little bit of downtime, eat, go
to work, work out, eat, study, sleep—there appears to be no one fashion fab
taking over here at Purdue. This, in my opinion, is excellent! I love that
everyone seems to be unique and separate amid the crowds of people shuffling
between the rings of the bell tower. I love that fashion stereotypes don’t necessarily
hold true at college. Not all nerdy kids wear graphic tees & jeans, a lot of
the girls in engineering have a great sense of style. The girls I’ve met this
past week are all different, from the type of engineering they’re planning on
studying to their hair color. They all have a different view on fashion. I love
it! I like that Purdue breaks stereotypes and lets anyone let their nerd flag
fly, or in this case, let their tastes in fashion be expressed.
