I will most likely invest in Spotify Premium shortly.

What do you enjoy most about writing for Her Campus?: I have written for Her Campus for 3 years now, and it’s been great to write about what I want! I used to do the campus profiling section, and that was always a cool way to get to know people better. It has been fun this year to be the campus correspondent and see the other writers become inspired, too.

You’re stuck in the St. Olaf library(from all of the snow…) what three things would you want with you?: coffee, my laptop, and earbuds!
