HerCampus: What activities are you involved with here on campus?
Bri Mussman: Well, I’m a counselor coordinator for SSIS and, photographer for the Justice, and a TA for Gen. Chem. lab.
HC: How did you become involved with SSIS?
BM: I’ve loved SSIS since day one with Orientation Presentation, and I was lucky enough to be able to give that presentation for the midyears, so I was able to come full cycle. There’s nothing I’d rather give my time to. It doesn’t really have to do with science, but there’s a way to make science human, and sexuality has to do with that. And more than anything, I like helping people.
HC: What would you say your favorite thing is about working with SSIS?
BM: My favorite part would have to be the community that it fosters. We’re always open to learning new things and we’re really involved in the community.
HC: one thing you’re excited about for summer?
BM: I’m just excited for warm weather. I’ve grown up going to the boardwalk, so summer for me is just going to the boardwalk, getting a funnel cake, lying on the beach. Pretty much just fried food and sun. It just makes me very happy inside.
HC: Any secret talents?
BC: Secret? I don’t know how secret things are. I can memorize birth control facts really easily and I love painting my nails and photography
HC: That’s so cool! How’d you start becoming into nail art?
BC: I think I’ve always liked the idea of art and painting, but I’ve never been good at that. I started when two years ago I followed a tutorial online. It really helps me de-stress. Once I got to college I would set aside that time every week. It’s very calming. I wish I had the free time now!
HC: And photography? How’d you get into that?
BC: Ever since I was little, I was always taking pictures with a disposable camera or film. In high school I took a film photography class at Rutgers by my house. There’s something cathartic and individual about it, you get to capture something exactly the way you see it.
