Name: Julianna Rauf
Year: 2019 / Junior
Major: English with a minor in Writing & Communications and Educational Studies
Hometown: Greenville, NY
HC Siena: Why did you choose your major?
JR: I’ve always loved reading and writing, wish to help others love and appreciate the importance of the English language and communication, believe I can teach myself anything through reading, and want to be a journalist for international current events.
HC Siena: Why did you want to get involved with Her Campus Siena?
JR: I thought it’d be a fun way to channel my creative energy through writing about what I want to instead of what I have to.
HC Siena: What is your favorite part of working with Her Campus?
JR: Getting a chance to write for fun instead of for a grade.
HC Siena: Out of all the articles you have written, which one is your favorite and why?
JR: Either of my interviews because they were more planned and inspiring.
HC Siena: What is something that makes you happy?
JR: My little brother, dog, boyfriend, and getting the chance to be lazy.
HC Siena: What would your memoir be called and why?
JR: Too Literal, Too Not because I’m the most confusing person in the world when it comes to logic and emotion due to the fact that everything I say and do is completely unpredictable with very little reasoning. I surprise a lot of people with my deep thoughts, metaphors, and academic knowledge… I also surprise them with my over thinking and creation of non-existent problems… I can be extremely ditsy or way too mature for my age.
HC Siena: If you were stranded on an island, what three things would you bring?
JR: A book on how to get off a stranded island, a knife, and an air mattress.
HC Siena: If you could choose a mentor, who would it be?
JR: Ghandi or Eleanor Roosevelt.
HC Siena: Why do you think everyone should read Her Campus Siena?
JR: Because it’s fun and realistic. It gives great insight on problems or lightens up everyone’s stressful mood.
