Caroline page is a first year student writing for Her Campus at North Carolina State University. As a first year author for the chapter, she looks forward to writing about anything and everything her fellow students will find useful or entertaining.
As for prior writing experience, this is her first real opportunity to write about anything in a formal setting. She has always been interested in the world of journalism and as a communication major she plans to incorporate writing into her professional life whether it be as a columnist, news anchor, or anything else, She hopes her time at Her Campus will help get her there. While writing wasn't her prime focus in high school, she was heavily involved in several clubs and extra curricular activities including Beta club, Girl Scouts, Chamber choir, and being the secretary and vice president of her school's FCCLA. In addition to her involvement in clubs she also had several jobs during high school. Her junior year she worked at a non-profit called 'literacy together,' where she tutored children who needed a little extra help in reading and writing. After that she worked at chick-fil-a and then Walmart as a personal shopper.
Now for Caroline's personal history and special interests. Caroline was born in Manhattan, New York in 2006 and then moved to Asheville, North Carolina in 2008 where she lived with her younger sister; Josie, and her parents; Zack and Andrea Page. She is also a huge animal lover and has a rescue dog named Daisy and two parakeets; Snowy and Stormy, one of which was also rescued by her family when it flew into their yard one day, (yes, it was a bit of a shock). Some of Caroline's hobbies include amateur sewing, going thrifting, reading, listening to all kinds of music, and singing in the car. Her beautiful singing voice is thoroughly enjoyed by her family at all hours of the day, including late at night. Some of her favorite artists are Fiona Apple, Jeff Buckley, Liz Phair, and Simon and Joni Mitchel. When she finds time to read she enjoys books that have unlikeable main characters, such as Nobocov's "Laughter in the darkness," Albert Camus' "The Stranger," and Joan Diddion's "play it as it lays," Of course her favorite thing to do is hang out with her friends and family any chance she can get.
