Behind the Scenes of Her Campus: Nikee Reed

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

Have you ever wondered who is behind the scenes of Her Campus UT? Each week we will be featuring a different Her Campus UT member, so be on the lookout! 

Name: Nikee Reed

Age: 19 going on 20

Birthday: October 7th

Hometown: Milford, Massachusetts

Major/Minor: Communications/ Art

Her Campus Position: Vice President/ Senior Editor

Pet Peeves: When people have a lack of hygiene, lack of common sense, and people who chew with their mouths open.

Harry Potter or Twilight: Harry Potter 100%

If you could only eat one thing for the rest of your life, what would it be? Pancakes! Well, any breakfast food really or mashed potatoes and gravy.

Why Tampa? Because Tampa is more than 1,000 miles away from home.

Why Her Campus? Because I don’t like formatted writing and I don’t like when people tell me what to write. I like to keep an open mind because I’m a free spirit, and I can do all of that with Her Campus.

What is one goal you have for Her Campus this year? My goal is to upgrade our chapter level. I really want to get us to that pink status.

When you were little, what did you want to be when you grew up? I wanted to be a CEO of a Fortune-500 company and also, to wear a crown!

Now, what do you want to be when you grow up? I still want to be a CEO and to be honest, I still want to wear a crown.

Would you rather only be able to watch one movie (Remember the Titans) for the rest of your life, or only listen to one artist (Matchbox Twenty) for the rest of the year? Only listen to Matchbox 20 for the rest of the year, hands down.

What is your stance on giant stuffed animals? Well, as the proud owner of a 6.5 foot teddy bear, I am very pro-giant stuffed animals. It’s nice to cuddle with when you don’t have friends.

Biggest fear: Not being able to do the things that I want in life.

Fun Fact: I can play the ukulele!

If you were to create your own starting line up for the Bruins, who would they be?: Tuukka Rask, Bobby Orr, Phil Esposito, Patrice Bergeron, Zdeno Chara, and Brad Marchand.

Which fake UT special privilege would you rather: always getting to cut the Pandini’s line, or having your very own assigned and saved reclining chair at the pool? Pandini’s. Food trumps all, always.

Twitter or Instagram? Twitter, because a picture might be worth 1,000 words, but I can fit genius ideas into only 140 characters.

You’re locked inside the mall for the night with no cell phone, what do you do? I would find the nearest Best Buy Mobile and then I would plant my butt in a recliner at Sears.

Coke or Pepsi: Coke

You’re back in the 4th grade, what are you eating for snack time?  Definitely a Snack-Pack pudding cup with a HI-C Ecto Cooler!

You just hopped off the plane at LAX with a dream, and what? J’s on my feet, so get like me.

Oreo’s: Are you a dunker or twister? Dunker cause that way the cookie part gets all soft and can melt in your mouth. YUMMMM.

Use one song to describe your life right now: Fancy by Iggy Azalea. First things first, I’m the realest.

Perfect date: Taking a long walk on the beach, drinking Piña Coladas, and getting caught in the rain.

 

 A senior at the University of Tampa, Brianne is finishing up her degree in Communications. After graduation, she hopes to have a job in her field of choice; whether it be in her home state of Massachusetts, here in Tampa, or somewhere new and exciting. And if that doesn’t work out as planned, she has her reality television applications ready at hand - say hello to your next Bachelorette! But until graduation day, Brianne has full blown Peter Pan Syndrome. As she refuses to grow up, you can find her watching Disney movies, planning trips to the zoo to feed the giraffes, eating dessert for dinner, and coloring any chance she gets. Buzzfeed, Netflix, anything coconut, and wine are also some of her guilty pleasures.
