I am an English Creative Writing and Communication double major from Calcutta, India. And i think the most important thing to know about me is that, I LOVE chocolate! When I'm not working, you can find me walking around campus shivering in this freezing weather, taking pictures, swimming, working out, or just having a conversation with random people!
I am an English Creative Writing major from Los Angeles, California. In addition to my Her Campus responsibilities, I am also the Editor-in-Chief of Denison's student newspaper. I am involved in Greek life on campus as a sister of Pi Beta Phi. I have an insatiable passion for all things Harry Potter. When I'm not in class, you can find me taking long naps, reading, biking or binge watching Netflix.
