My name is Tory, and I am a college student in Rhode Island. I am passionate about this blog because after arriving at college, I realized that I was very different from most college girls. I believe in maintaining a cretin dignity, work ethic, and style, that did not match up with many of my classmates. The purpose of The Colorful Collegiate is to celebrate the stylish, driven, and classy college girls.

I love bright red nail polish, photography, all things preppy, vintage jewelry, Audrey Hepburn movies, my day planner, tea, stationary, my hometown of Chicago, farmers markets, and classical music.
