First-day-of-school selfie? Glamour shots with the new roommate? Pics of that huge stack of books you just bought? We love 'em all.

Capture your favorites—from neighborhood excursions to marathon desk-organizing sessions—for a chance to be featured on our social media pages...and a shot at a $100 NYU Bookstore gift card.
