Chanel Laidler is a junior at Florida State University majoring in Media Communication Studies with a minor in English. Originally from the United Kingdom, she now calls Florida home and has developed a strong interest in writing, media, pop culture, and the ways digital media shape the trends and conversations around us. As a Staff Writer for Her Campus at FSU, Chanel especially enjoys writing about culture, fashion, beauty, entertainment, social media trends, and the experiences that come with navigating your twenties and college life.
When she isn't writing or scrolling through TikTok in the name of “research,” Chanel can usually be found watching a movie, putting together an outfit, discovering new music, reading, or keeping up with sports and pop culture. She loves fashion and beauty, film, traveling, and finding new places with friends. Her favorite movie is Sunset Boulevard, and she has a particular love for anything that allows her to romanticize everyday life. Through her writing, Chanel hopes to create the kind of articles that feel like conversations with a friend; the ones you send to someone immediately because they put into words something you've both been thinking.
