Students back earlier
30/September/2025 in Kraków
One noticeable change from last week
is
the number of young people in the city
University starts tomorrow,
and students are coming back to the city
Walking on the street,
the atmosphere feels a bit different
"Fresh"
"Future"
"Energetic" — all these notions related to young people seem imbued in the air, at least from my eyes
Something peculiar this year is
they have come back earlier
1 years ago & 2 years ago, I was here
I didn’t feel this change at the end of September
I felt it only when October started, when the new semester began
It’s easier to point out university students
Their fashion is no longer baggy trousers & baggy hoodies & childish backpacks & sneakers, like teenagers
Yet, their fashion is not as practical, as conventional, as dull as office workers’. Not yet
Uni students don’t have much money to buy clothes, but they have enough freedom & curiosity for experiments,
and enough motivation to show their existence to the opposite sex & to the world
