There are also year long activities that you can attend. Explore art at the Museum of Northern California Art (MONCA), visit parks like Bidwell Park for outdoor adventures, and catch a show at local music venues and bars.

Cal State Chico '28

Hi! My name is Sydney Farina. I am from Southern California and I am currently a freshman at Chico State. I am a Communications major with a minor in Journalism. Along with writing for hercampus I am also a dance teacher. I am a natural leader and always looking for a new way to apply myself. I enjoy writing about various topics and hope to one day make that my career.

Being from SoCal I love the water. I enjoy going to the beach and lake days with family. I come from a small town in Ventura County called Newbury Park. I lived there my whole life before moving to Chico. I have been a dancer since the age of three and I am continuing my dancing journey being apart of the Chico State dance team, Exprssions. I am also a dance teacher at a local dance studio. Dance has helped shape me into who I am today a great amount.

I am excited to now be a writer for hercampus and hope you enjoy my articles. I hope to help girls feel supported when making hard decisions and have something relatable to read. As well as writing about topics that are fun and spark you interest. Enjoy!
