Vancouver, BC, for Spring Break!

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

While most headed south for some warm weather that Portland wasn’t granting us, sophomores Aine Brooks and Lesley Dawson (who is a contributing writer for our HC Portland page!) went north for some fun in our neighborhood country, Canada. They slipped over the border of Washington to Vancouver, BC, where they took advantage of a few Canadian laws that don’t exist in the US. While most would wonder what the draw was to Canada, Lesley vouches that as her future homeland, she wanted to spend her 20th birthday where she would soon be living.

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.
