What is the best about writing for Her Campus?
I love how Her Campus allows me to write about whatever I’m passionate about. Every writer has a distinct voice and different ideas, and HC is a perfect venue to display that. Nothing makes me happier than posting an article I’m really excited about and seeting that a lot of people are reading it.
What do you expect next year to be like for Her Campus?
I can’t wait for next year, but I also want to cry just thinking about Her Campus without Annie. I’m excited though, and I’m hoping to get some more writers on our team.
