Street Style: NYU Undergraduate Ladies
Rachel A.G. Gilman, 2016

While Fashion Week has wrapped up here in New York City, the undergraduates of New York University are always stylish. This week, I take a look at some of their street style looks (including my own!) and ask NYU female students what they think about the fashion in and around campus.

Spencer Peppet, Tisch Class of 2019, Drama (Experimental Theatre Wing)

Hometown: Cincinnati, Ohio

What do you think about the NYU/NYC fashion scene?

"I have kind of a love/hate relationship with it. Coming from Cincinnati, I was the person that was like, 'Oh my God, you're so artsy, you go to thrift stores.' The nice thing about coming here is it doesn't really matter. You can just wear what you want without it being a huge deal. But there's also this culture of putting so much emphasis on what a person's wearing and it's all kind of the same style that that happens around - the super expensive clothing that looks like it was thrifted ... I think it has to do with having the ideal body type for those clothes, and I see a lot more of it here than I did in Cincinnati, partially because more people come here to try and make it as models or whatever, so they have that 'ideal body type'..."

Ella Mann, Tisch Class of 2018, Drama (Stella Adler) and English

Hometown: Fairview, Tennessee

Why did you choose your outfit?

"I'm wearing these overalls because they're the only pants I own that fit my leg to butt to waist ratio, which is weird. And I like this flowy thing because it gives me a dramatic entrance. Sometimes it will gracefully fall off my shoulder and I feel like a character in a movie. I'm wearing a black tank top underneath it because it was clean, and I like these shoes."

Stasia de Tilly-Blaru (a.k.a. "Kowloon Baby"), Gallatin Class of 2019, Social and Political Change with Theatre as a Vehicle

Hometown: Hong Kong

What do you think about the NYU/NYC fashion scene?

"I think definitely NYU students take pride in their fashion. They're trying to be either ahead in the fashion industry or just keeping up with it ... And there are some people who don't care also, which is totally fine. NYU is so, so big to make a generalization, but there are a lot of people who are fashion forward."

Alla Deli, CAS Class of 2018, English Literature

Hometown: Staten Island, New York

Why did you choose your outfit?

"It's my favorite skirt and my favorite shoes. I have what my mom calls a very traditionally feminine style. It's nice and summery. I'm all about the dresses because I don't like my legs, and the heels make my legs look longer."

Hailey Nuthals, Steinhardt Class of 2018, Music Business

Hometown: Wausau, Wisconsin

What do you think about the NYU/NYC fashion scene?

"It's fascinating because in the United States, it's the closest to the center of fashion as we can get. You'll see the NYU students with their 'NYU Athletics' apparel because they just came from practice or people who literally just came from a show at New York Fashion Week. It's really fascinating to see the whole range."

Amanda Morris, Steinhardt/CAS Class of 2018, Journalism and Media, Culture, and Communications

Hometown: Farmington, Connecticut

What is the worst part about your outfit?

"Probably these shoes. They're very uncomfortable even though when I bought them I walked around the store and they seemed comfortable. Every pair of shoes I ever buy does not hold up against New York City. I think it might be worth it because I've always wanted a pair of shoes like this. We'll see..."

Tess Derby, LS Class of 2019, History

Hometown: Albuquerque, New Mexico

Why did you chose your outfit?

"I like it because it reminds me of my all-girls Catholic High School. The skirt is way shorter than I could ever get away with when I went there, so I feel like I'm wearing it ironically or sticking it Mrs. Cost, who was my dean."

Margaret Shuttleworth, CAS Class of 2017, History

Hometown: West Palm Beach, Florida

What do you think about the NYU/NYC fashion scene?

"I haven't really noticed anything special about it. Compared to Florida, where everyone looks like they're in their pajamas all day, I guess it's much better."

Rachel A.G. Gilman, Gallatin Class of 2018, The History and Writing of Erotic Literature

Hometown: Woodstock, New York

Why did you choose your outfit?

"I've been getting a lot of comments lately that my style is very much in line with that of a Nantucket mom, which I'm okay with. I think that just means I have my act a little too together and I'm not ready to give up summer, which I hope this outfit relays."

Bob's Burgers
Adult Swim

Bob's Burgers is arguably one of the best and most well-written shows on tv today. That, and it's just plain hilarious. From Louise's crazy antics to Tina's deadpan self-confidence, whether they are planning ways to take over school or craft better burgers, the Belchers know how to have fun. They may not be anywhere close to organized or put together, but they do offer up some wise words once and awhile.

We're in college, none of us actually have anything together. In fact, not having anything together is one of our biggest stressors. However, there's a few little things that we do ever so often that actually make us feel like we have our lives together.

1. Making yourself dinner

And no this does not include ramen or Annie's Mac & Cheese. Making a decent meal for yourself is one of the most adult things you can do living on campus. And the food is much better than it would be at the dining hall.

I think the hardest thing about going away to college is figuring out how to become an adult. Leaving a household where your parents took care of literally everything (thanks, Mom!) and suddenly becoming your own boss is overwhelming. I feel like I'm doing a pretty good job of being a grown-up, but once in awhile I do something that really makes me feel like I'm #adulting. Twenty-somethings know what I'm talking about.

I went to a small high school, like 120-people-in-my-graduating-class small. It definitely had some good and some bad, and if you also went to a small high school, I’m sure you’ll relate to the things that I went through.

1. If something happens, everyone knows about it

Who hooked up with whom at the party? Yeah, heard about that an hour after it happened. You failed a test? Sorry, saw on Twitter last period. Facebook fight or, God forbid, real fight? It was on half the class’ Snapchat story half an hour ago. No matter what you do, someone will know about it.

Chandler Bing

I'm assuming that we've all heard of the hit 90's TV series, Friends, right? Who hasn't? Admittedly, I had pretty low expectations when I first started binge watching the show on Netflix, but I quickly became addicted.

Without a doubt, Chandler Bing is the most relatable character, and there isn't an episode where I don't find myself thinking, Yup, Iam definitely the Chandler of my friend group.
