Priyal Sharma is a contributing writer at Her Campus at Manipal University Jaipur. She loves writing about the messy, magical in-betweens of college life — balancing law school, figuring out who you are, and learning to breathe through the pressure. Her articles often weave together personal reflections and relatable moments, especially around mental wellness, identity, and student culture. For Priyal, writing is a way to make sense of chaos and offer comfort to anyone else trying to do the same.
Currently in her third year of a BA LLB (Hons.) program, Priyal brings her academic background into her writing with a focus on social justice, gender equality, and policy. She’s contributed to journal publications, taken part in legal writing competitions, and is always up for a spirited debate about constitutional law or pop culture. Whether it’s on paper or in real life, she’s always searching for deeper meaning and better questions.
Outside of lectures and deadlines, you’ll probably find Priyal with a hot coffee in hand, curating oddly specific Pinterest boards, or rewatching legal dramas while pretending she’s part of the cast. Once a 7th grader dreaming of AIIMS and lab coats, she’s now fully embracing the black coat life and all the unexpected turns that got her here. She believes stories — especially honest ones — can heal, connect, and maybe even change the world a little.
