Her Campus Cutie and Correspondent: Frances Mylod-Vargas

This article is written by a student writer from the Her Campus at Cal Poly chapter.

Meet Her Campus Cal Poly’s increibly lovely Campus Correspondent, Frances Mylod-Vargas!

Year and Major/Minor

I’m a third year Journalism major and French minor!

What are you involved with on campus?

Just Her Campus Cal Poly! I am one of those people who writes their name down a million times at Club showcase, but I usually only stick with one or two clubs. This is my third year with Her Campus Cal Poly, and I absolutely love it!

What is something most people don’t know about you?

I am a movie FIEND! I love, love, love them. I once spent 24 hours straight watching movies, it was epic. 

Favorite quality in a guy?

Probably humor! I love someone who can make me pee my pants laughing. Kindness and intellect are also pretty important personality traits to me.

What should be on everybody’s SLO bucket list?

Swinging on the swings at Avila while eating ice cream and watching the sunset. 

Favorite animal?

KITTENS.

Is there anyone you really want to see in concert right now?

I pretty much always want to see One Direction in concert, but Coldplay is definitely on my bucket list. I think it would be so amazing to go to one of their performances and see them perform live, everything about them is incredible. 

What is your dream job?

Some combination of traveling, taking pictures, writing and eating food. A travel blogger? I don’t know if I’d be good at it, but I think I would be pretty content with my life if that was my profession. 

Favorite Netflix show?

Oof, so many to choose from. I go through phases of Netflix shows… But I think right now I’d have to say it’s Parks and Recreation. Leslie Knope makes me LOL. 

Who’m do you look up to most?

I think Mindy Kaling is an amazing role-model. She’s everything I want to be: Witty, creative, self-confident and fashionable. I think that the Mindy Project is such a great show and her success seems to be due to the fact that she is always her authentic self.
