This article is written by a student writer from the Her Campus at Pepperdine chapter.

Being so active that it results in our bodies being so sore the next day. Here we are at Alumni Park playing football, soccer, and just enjoying time with one another. I know a lot of people always want to leave campus, and at times I am one of those students; however, I am thankful to be at Pepperdine, and I have come to call it home. I leave you with this final thought. Have you ever considered how privileged you are? Because there are definitely a lot of students who wish come to Pepperdine, but are unable to because of financial reasons. Always remember how lucky you are to be here. How many people can say that they get to play soccer while having an ocean view?

Hola, mi llamo Marissa Hernandez. Hey, I'm Marissa Hernandez, and I am a senior studying Psychology at Pepperdine University. I am involved and an active member of Alpha Kappa Psi, Business Fraternity and I am currently working on campus through the theater department. I am very passionate about art and working with children. I hope to one day open my own center that is primarily focused on children and teens, through the involvement of art, sports, cooking, and other fun activities. I personally believe that community and communication with their peers who have similar interest, is the most effective way of therapy. Besides my personal interest in the future, in my free time I love to socialize with my friends, paint, eat food, and cook. I have a habit of having dinner parties every weekend about 10-15 of our closest friends, in which I cook large feast of Mexican food or other types of foods. I have an addiction to Sawtelle, in which you might catch my in the wee hours of the night getting Tatsu or wintermelon boba. I am pretty easy to find on campus, since I never go a day without wearing a single flower or a lot of flowers in my hair.
