The good people over at "In Touch Weekly" dug up this (relatively) old-school photo of Lady Gaga during her college year at New York University, back when she was just Stefani Germanotta, and just like "us," she wore jeans and t-shirts to class and had to schlep her own stuff around. Hard to believe that a girl who wore a neck brace and a red lace snood to the 2009 MTV VMAs was wearing baggy jeans a plain old shirt just a few years back.

Oh, and if you inexplicably haven't heard, Lady Gaga's been nominated for a record-breaking 13 VMAs this year. And while the VMA attendees haven't been announced yet, could you imagine the shock if Gaga showed up on the 2010 VMA red carpet in... jeans and a t-shirt?
