A Shopping Saturday in College

Last Saturday my friends and I went to SoHo to shop around a little and get off campus. We hit a bunch of stores before coming home and doing try on hauls for each other. Then we locked in on our homework. #lemon8college #lemon8partner #shoppingafterwork

... Read moreSpending a Saturday shopping in SoHo is a great way to take a break from the usual campus routine and experience the lively urban vibe with friends. SoHo is known for its trendy boutiques and popular stores like PacSun, Edikted, and Lululemon, which offer a wide variety of casual and athletic wear perfect for college students who want to feel stylish yet comfortable. Exploring such a neighborhood also means indulging in some excellent food and drinks, and a stop at La Colombe Coffee Roasters is ideal for a refreshing coffee break. When visiting these stores, many students enjoy doing "try-on hauls"—sharing their finds with friends to get different opinions and find the perfect fits. This social shopping experience is not only fun but also helps with making better fashion choices. After a day full of walking and shopping, wrapping up with homework allows students to balance fun with responsibility. Additionally, shopping in SoHo offers more than just retail therapy; it’s about bonding and creating memories with friends away from the usual academic environment. If you are planning a similar outing, consider mapping out your stores beforehand, include a cozy cafe for rest, and make time for a relaxed try-on session to enjoy all the styles you discover. This blend of shopping and socializing perfectly captures the essence of a college weekend, combining fashion, friendship, and focus.

for the most part I think it’s worth it simply for the convenience aspect. but as a college student there is some additional fees that have me holding back from doing this every week. I usually only do it once in a while or when i’m super busy and can’t go to the store that week. #lemon8partner
