The idea behind Fresher’s week is to create a favourable environment for the new college students, so that they can learn to socialise and experience college life like never before. Therefore, this can be a good opportunity for making new friends and hanging around with them. So, here’s hoping to see you at the Fresher’s week celebrations new friend!

One of the most vivid memories you will have of your college days can be listed in almost a prescribed format with some hilarious entries sprinkled for keeping the humour alive in all the awkwardness. It is inevitable for these instances to take place while you are in college and hear us when we say You Will Remember Them – the orientation program or fresher’s week at college, meeting your roommates parents (*cough cough* awkward *cough cough*), seeing your college crush for the first time while at the library or cafeteria, and tasting your first “mess meal” (careful not to throw up).

While college freshers weeks vary from one college to another, but the gist of it remains the same; there are a bunch of event or ‘fun’ games that try too hard to push a roomful of awkward some-teen year olds or some twenty-year olds into becoming instant best friends. There are those organized lunches where the one in-charge of distributing the special college fresher’s party feast is always worked up trying to keep count of those veg and non-veg and soon enough your teary mom and straight-faced dad leave you to fend for yourself while leaving behind a years’ worth of toiletries supply. You look over to the stranger in the opposite bed having the same serious face (partly almost about to cry and partly excited to have found independence), and you realize in a cinematic way that this is IT.

Here are a few things you can expect to happen at your college freshers’ week:

In spirit of the Kolkata Amity fresher’s week, YUP Card has taken a step forwards to walk an extra mile in the shoes of college freshman. Not only are we offering a 5 day 5 offers packed schedule in celebration for the newly joining Kolkata Amitians, but we have also decided to help new college goers settle at this new environment with this preparatory list of common things they can expect.

You will forget to pack some essentials!

This is not your usual holiday packing list wherein you pack some essentials within the one night before you leave for your trip into a rucksack and groggily walk into that early morning car ride to the airport/station.

Packing for a year away from home at a new home can be a daunting task and you are bound to forget some essentials. And when you forget your favourite coffee mug that was your BFF’s gift to you, it may get hard to stop those bubbling tears!

But wait, instead of seeing this as a moment of loss, look at it as a new chance of making new friends. When you forget to pack an essential ask your dorm mates if they can help. This is a great chance to strike up a conversation.

Staying in your room!

With all the strangers wandering about around your dorm it may seem tempting to stay put in your cosy bed. But we suggest you take a leap of faith forward and shake off your awkwardness in trying to make a conversation. Remember everyone else is feeling as lost and insecure as you are in this new place. So, you already have a major common ground amongst you, use that to socialize and start making new friends.

If you are new to Kolkata, then we have got news for you. You will have a long list of places to eat or hangout and hookah parlours and pubs to let loose college style in the city. Check out the YUP Freshers Week list of places that we have covered in the city especially for students of Amity University Kolkata and give them a try. Skip those organized, awkward college mess lunches or those awkward meals with your roommates’ parents and go out on your own to some of the hippest hangs in Kolkata.

Pose for your college ID:

Here is some news for college freshers who will have their picture taken for college ID. This is kind of the way driving license picture are taken. The cameraman does not care how you will look in the picture that will be your identity for the next 4 to 5 years. But you know that you will have only opportunity so, do as we say – wipe off your sweat moustache and one on your forehead, brush your hair and make sure your mascara is not on your cheeks instead of your eyes!

And last but not the least, never shop when you are hungry!

It may seem like a great way to save money to only go shopping after you have left your refrigerator or shelves empty. But that means you will be hungry when you prepare your shopping list. But shopping in a hungry stomach will make you much more prone to impulse shopping of items that you do not actually need. So, regardless of how busy your fresher’s week may be prepare a shopping list well in advance before you run out.

Now that we have got that covered, if you are looking for nifty student offers in Kolkata, get your hands on a YUP Card and enjoy year long supply of unlimited discounts at cafes and restaurants around Kolkata. Check out our list of college student deals at our website.
