Relay for Life and Our 1st Birthday Bash!

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

This weekend was easily the busiest and the most poppin’ for your girls at HC Portland. Not only did we exercise our philanthropy and take part in University of Portland’s Relay for Life on Friday, but we also hosted our 1st Birthday Party! Talk about multi-faceted girls – givers by day, dancers by night. It’s no big thang.

So of course, we wanted to share some amazing moments from this jam-packed weekend with our favorite Collegiettes (and Colle-guys!). Enjoy, lovelies.

And we present… The Randy Jacksons! Providing some head-nodding, jam-worthy songs all night.

Hailing from eastern Washington, Julia attends the University of Portland in Oregon, as a Communication Studies major with an emphasis on Journalism. As a magazine and book junkie, Julia reads everything (and anything) she can get her hands on, especially those passionate on young adult culture and entertainment. A woman that gets stir-crazy easily, Julia has been fortunate to have traveled many summers in a row to foreign countries, including a study abroad course in Austria, Germany, and Great Britain. Since a ripe age, she has grown and cultivated her passion and dream of working for a magazine and spreading awareness as well as happiness through the tips of her fingers. Always finding time for herself, Julia can frequently be found quoting movie lines (most frequently Will Ferrell or Vince Vaughn), having a 90's dance party with her roommates, or rereading "Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows" for the 40th time.
