Standing Out from the Rest
06/07/2010
It was only a few weeks away before school starts. I was an incoming freshman in a city college not far from our town. I was a go-getter in high school so I wanted my college experience to be that way too. I did not want to be drowned in the sea of newbie’s in school. I wanted to make a statement the moment I walked through the double doors of the school so I was looking for the perfect outfit to start my new life as a college student.
However, I do not want to go over the top with my outfit. I wanted something simple but catchy. I was searching online for the perfect dress when I got to this site that sells funny t shirts. At first I was hesitant about wearing shirt and jeans to my first day as a college student because I thought it was such a simple getup. But when I browsed the site further, I came to believe that the designs were really funny and catchy.
I asked my mom if I could use her card to order a couple of t shirts and when she agreed, I immediately ordered several with different styles and designs. My mom did not mind for she knew that I would be using it anyway. Come first day of school, a couple of guys and girls were intrigued with my shirt and asked where I got it. The shirt I wore that day became an instant ice breaker.
