We did another round of member interviews! I love this series because I get to know more about the wonderful girls who make our chapter so dynamic and so inviting. This time around I had the pleasure of talking with Laura Sheaffer, a new member of our chapter.
- What drew you to Her Campus?
-
“Well, I recently just became a Public Relations major so I thought this club would suit me. I also followed the Instagram account [@hercampusmillersville] by accident and loved it I had a really positive and inviting vibe. I also joined to gain some more friends and use this as a platform as an experience for writing.”
- What’s your favorite part about being a student at Millersville University?
-
“How involved I am. I love being busy. I started dancing in Expressions [a dance group on campus] and now I’m the lyrical [dance] teacher and our manager. I also got a job at the gym, which is busy and rewarding.”
- What’s your major?
-
“Speech Communication with a concentration in Public Relations and minor in English.”
- What made you decide your major?
-
“Well, that’s a long story! I started out as an Early Education and Special Education major which wasn’t for me, so I ended up switching to Secondary Education for English and after that, Middle Education for English. I definitely needed some guidance so I went and spoke with my advisor to figure out what would be good for me. I took a little quiz thing and the Communications major seemed the best for me. I decided that this was the major for me because I want to become the person that shares the news or helps figure the stories out for other people.”
- Where do you see yourself in five years?
-
“This is such a hard question! I see myself graduated and probably living in a city. Hopefully, I’ll be living in Philly. I want to work with writing or editing staff for news releases or be involved in the written work for any company.”
- What is something you wish someone told you before coming to college?
-
“How much debt you end up with. Oh, and how big of a change it is living with roommates. During my first year, I struggled with that, and I learned a lot. Next semester I’ll be moving in with my best friends. It’ll be much better!”
- What do you like to do for fun outside of school?
-
“I like to dance and write. And I like reading and hanging out with my boyfriend.”
- Do you have a favorite song?
-
” ‘Die From A Broken Heart’ by Maddy and Tay even though it’s so sad. ‘Work Song’ by Hosier is also a bop!”
- How about a favorite book?
-
” ‘Me Before You.’ I’ve read it like 17 times. But more recently, I’ve been reading a lot of Debbie Macomber.”
- A favorite movie?
-
” ‘Burlesque or Mama Mia!’ “
