So if you are planning to go out shopping for college, do have a look. Hopefully this should be pretty helpful for all the college kids out there. So here it goes.

1. Basic T-Shirts

The first most essential piece of cloth has to be the basic tees. Black, white and grey are my personal favorites. They go with everything. Trust me, EVERYTHING be it denim jeans, shorts, skirts. You just need to know how to build up on them.

2. Formal Shirt

They will help you in the times of interviews, presentations, speeches etc, when you want people to take you seriously. Don’t limit it to black or white. Go with your personal choice.

3. A Denim Shirt/Jacket

It is surely a must have girls. It will go with everything be it a cute floral dress or a summer cotton blouse. It will always enhance your look. And guess what it will save you from the sun tan as well. :P

4. Dark-wash skinny Jeans

Specifically a dark-wash because it gives a classic and flattering look. It will be a staple piece you will always want to wear. Choose the one which fits you very well.

5. Floral Spring Dress

A cute floral one piece dress has to be in your wardrobe this summer. Pick yours from all the florescent happy colors and show your personal style with a cute hairstyle and let the heads turn.

6. Crop Tops

Crop tops have become so common these days that they have become a must have. So girls don’t give it a second thought, go get yours. You can pair it up with your denim jeans, high waist jeggings, slacks, shorts etc etc.

7. Little Black Dress

With the beginning of college those fresher’s parties will also start. That little black dress would rescue you from all the worries. Pair your little black dress with a statement neckpiece and a pair of heels and you are ready to hit the floor ladies.

8. Chunky Scarves

It acts as a great accessory in this summer. It will protect you from all sorts of hot summer winds while travelling. And you can dress up all black and put on a statement scarf and you are good to go. Girls, a great scarf will make the biggest difference.

9. Tote bags

They are big enough to carry your books and all the other essential things you would need in college. I would suggest going for a black and a white one as they would go with every outfit.

10. Sneakers/Flip-flops

Sneakers are the most comfortable thing you can wear to college. With all the travelling and tiring hectic days at college, sneakers will keep your feet happy. Go for the neon and florals this summer as summer 2015 is all about florals.

I hope these tips will help you in shopping for your college wardrobe collection or otherwise too.

Happy shopping divas :)

A #Glimpse into #Life at #North #Campus by Mahima Sharma

A Glimpse into Life at North Campus

A seconds worth of silence, followed with roars of cankerous questions by swarms of men approaching you from every possible angle. “Hindu-Hansraj-Kirrorimal?” ask some, while the others yell “Shri Ram-Daulat Ram-Miranda?” right into your face. You look at the first person who catches your eye, and state your destination with slight unease. “Bees rupay” he proclaims, momentarily holding up a peace sign with one hand while wildly motioning you with the other to follow him away from the crowd and towards his rickshaw. You push your way through the remaining scorned men, and take the first step out of the Vishvavidyalaya Metro Station.

Welcome to the forever bustling, always coruscating and the ever vibrant North Campus! The arena for love, the battleground of politics, the field of endless discussions over sumptuous food and the domain of all possible pursuits! The potentiality of activities here are endless; let’s have a look at some of them.

1. Extracurricular Galore!

One of the best things about colleges in North Campus is that they are all barely a few minutes away from each other, and usually boast of having a variety of clubs and societies that you could involve yourself with- Debating, Theatre, Singing, Dancing, NSS, NCC, Enactus, Photography, Films, Books and Travelling societies are just a few amongst a plethora of others. Involving yourself in these activities wouldn’t just boost your CV or cure the monotony of everyday routine; it would also give you a chance to learn, interact and make new friends on campus!

2. Bring me the Food!

 

North Campus brims with all sorts of events and activities, which is bound to work up your appetite- And you’re in luck! From the subsidised and tasty options found within the different college canteens and cafeterias, to the long lines of restaurants at Hudson Lane and Kamla Nagar, you’ll most definitely be spoiled for choice, without making too big a dent in that wallet!

3. Hello Shopaholics!

Shopaholics have some good news here- Both women and men! North Campus is famous for boasting about its absolutely favourite shopping destination, Kamla Nagar! Fondly known as “K-Nags” for some reason, it’s the land where brands meet their fake counterparts, where prices are cheap and the buys are not usually regretted. You’ll also be 20-30 minutes away from Connaught Place, Khan Market, Sarojini, Lajpat Nagar and a whole bunch of other shopper’s paradises in Delhi!

4. Academic Life! 

 

Life’s all about balance, and you’ll soon find yourself trying to juggle social activities with academics! Deadlines are usually unforgiving, and reading lists aren’t short of being endless, so you’ll also need to find time and spaces to occasionally put your face-in-a-book. But not to worry! You could take your books and assignments to quiet cafes at Kamla and Hudson, visit your college library or find a shady corner in the vast college lawns and allow nature to accompany you in simplifying all those complex theories and works.

5. Fests! 

The fest season is definitely the most exciting one of the year, where spirits run high, watching celebrities perform live becomes an everyday affair and finding more men inside the girl’s colleges becomes a common sight. From Miranda House’s Tempest, to SRCC’s Crossroads, From Hindu’s Mecca to the numerous other college and department fests, this season will most certainly keep you on your toes!

6. Independence! 

DU is all about giving its students a sense of freedom to explore their hobbies and passions, to discover, create and take on exciting challenges, meet new people from across colleges and learn from the classrooms and beyond. It’ll be an assault on the senses, a rollercoaster of a realm where time would race at some moments, and come to a complete standstill in others. Be sure to make it a memorable journey!
