WHAT MAKES YOU HER?

This article is written by a student writer from the Her Campus at SUBR chapter and does not reflect the views of Her Campus.

Everybody wants to be her, the girl who has everything together, walks with confidence, and skin glowing. But the truth is, being her isn’t all about being perfect or following some trend. It’s a mindset. She’s powerful. She’s that girl who walks in a room and doesn’t even have to say much, the energy just shifts. People think being her means having a perfect life, looks, and everything. But that’s not true. We all been chasing her… but what if you already are her?

Being her isn’t about trying to be something you’re not. It’s about staying in your own lane, unbothered and glowing. You want to know the real flex? You don’t chase validation anymore; you attract it. You walk like peace lives in you, and confidence is just part of your walk. That’s the kind of energy you just can’t fake.

I used to think being her meant never messing up, having perfect hair, perfect grades, perfect everything. Then I realized, her still cries sometimes, still doubts herself, is still learning. But she keeps going. Being her means loving the version of you that’s growing, not just the one that’s already made it.

You know you’re her when you stop explaining yourself and just fall back. When you delete that long paragraph and just hit “okay.” When your playlist switches from heartbreak songs to motivational ones. It’s funny how peace makes you prettier. Healing really is the best glow-up nobody talks about.

Being her doesn’t mean you are the loudest or most seen. It’s how you hold yourself when nobody’s watching. It’s saying no without guilt, resting without feeling bad, and speaking your mind with grace. Your her when you trust your path, even when it doesn’t make sense yet. That’s quiet confidence.

So, what makes you her? Maybe it’s the fact you still believe in yourself after everything tries to break you. Maybe it’s the way you laugh through all the chaos or keep showing love even when it isn’t returned. Either way, you already are her. You just had to realize it.

Greetings! My name is Iverielle Scott, and I’m a proud Atlanta girl currently holding it down in Minnesota. I am a junior at Southern University A&M College, where I’m majoring in Criminal Justice. On campus, I stay pretty involved, I work as a Resident Assistant in the dorms, I’m a member of the Alpha Lambda Delta Honor Society, and I also participate in the Criminal Justice Club.
Outside of academics and leadership, I like to keep life creative and fun. I enjoy painting, dancing, shopping, blogging, and spending time with family and friends. I’ve always been the type of person who loves to stay active and involve, so I'm currently serving on the Writing Committee for this chapter. I chose to join Her Campus because I wanted to connect with other amazing and creative women who share the same passions as me. Plus, I believe this is the perfect opportunity to allows me to express my voice, showcase my creativity, and let my big personality shine, all while learning and growing with others.
