HC BUCKNELL BLOG

As graduation approaches, it’s almost unbelievable our Bucknell careers are coming to a close. These past four years have flown by, but our senior year has undoubtedly been the most memorable, and we have Her Campus Bucknell to thank for that. When the two of us played with the idea of establishing an HC branch last summer, we had no idea just how rewarding it could be. Starting a new...

Messy buns, baggy sweatpants, smeared mascara, UGG slippers…they’re all tip-offs that finals week is upon us. But are we helping or hurting ourselves by wearing garments that slowly coax us into bed, farther and farther away from our end-of-term papers, study guides, good grades? Perhaps there is an underlying psychology to finals attire, and the key to success lies within our very...

This is the most dreaded time of year for every single college student out there. Just hearing the word “final,” whether it be in the context of a paper, presentation, project, or exam, makes me want to scream. I hate all things having to do with finality—end of the year, end of the summer, end of a semester—it all makes me cringe, not to mention stress the...

Springtime calls for new clothes—bright, light and airy—and new trends. But as not much of a trendsetter myself, I stick to broadening my fashion horizons through my nail polish. I’ll admit, I have quite a nail polish fetish, collecting every season’s new colors in mass quantity and splurging on brands from Essie to OPI to Deborah Lippman (even Revlon has...

It might feel like summer has hit our little town of Lewisburg, Pennsylvania, but the forecast is not so bright and warm for the next week. So, why not indulge in a little spring attire that is truly timeless and irresistibly comfortable?
I always viewed loafers as solely for the elderly, and I admit that was stereotypical and incorrect, as I myself have come to adore the loafer...

Dear Abby,
Any advice on spring fashion? I’m bored with my wardrobe.
From,
So Over Last Year’s Closet
Dear So-Over-Last-Year’s-Closet,
Yes! Color, color, color. Bloom spring back into your wardrobe with a mix pastels, bright colors, and prints. People our age always shy away from color and love neutrals (black, white, grey, nude), but I say…you...

Possibly one of the most frequently asked questions in the fashion world is “what’s your personal style?” And, more often than not, women struggle for an answer. Trying to fit your style sense into a popular fashion category (“Preppy,” “Grunge,” “Artsy”) sometimes can feel like trying to fit size 8 feet into a pair of size 6 Jimmy...

Dear Abby,
I recently got offered a job doing HR at a big company, and I also got accepted to grad school. The job has little to do with what I actually want to do in life but pays well, whereas grad school is what I want to do but I will be in huge debt and my profession isn’t going to pay well afterwards either. I don’t know what to do. I don’t want to ask my friends because...
