Meet A Her Campus Member: Helen Bierko

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

 

Year, major(s), minor(s) and hometown.

I’m a sophomore at the University of South Florida. I have a major in public relations with a minor in communication. I grew up in Westchester County, New York.

 

Why did you choose USF as your undergraduate university?

I chose USF because I really wanted to be far from home, gain independence and be in a warm climate for a change! USF has a really affordable program for out-of-state students, and its campus is absolutely beautiful! 

 

What are your hobbies?

My hobbies include baking, exercising and hanging out with friends. 

 

What are your favorite things to do in the bay area?

In the bay area, I really like to go to Ybor City. I think it’s so cool and the clubs down there are really fun.

 

After I graduate USF I hope to…

Score a job! I really want to go into something along the lines of event planning or bartending, because I love interacting with new people and being social. I’m also really looking forward to starting a family and having LOTS of kids. My real dream is to be a mom. I also would like to live on the beach some day, but who knows if that will ever happen.

 

What is you life’s motto and why?

I believe that you cannot change anybody but yourself. I think that if you love yourself and make yourself happy, you can and will make other people happy without even trying. I believe this because it has proven to be true in so many aspects of my life, and the lives of others around me. I go by the simple motto of, “Laugh more than you cry.”

 

FUN FACT:

I’m deathly afraid of camels.

 

 

 

I am a senior at the University of South Florida. I am majoring in advertising. My favorite things are beauty, fashion, entertainment, food and travel.
