Her Campus Best Care Package Ever!

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

There isn’t a better way to start off a Her Campus school year than with a care package full of all things pink! Her Campus Nationals surprised our team with a package filled with goodies we couldn’t wait to open, check out what was inside:

 

On top of a bundle of pink, purple and white there first laid a card thanking us for opening a Her Campus chapter at UCSB. Underneath the welcome thank you note we found all the college necessities, first of them being bite size Luna bars – the perfect snack when you’re on a run. There were also Neuro Sonic drinks that give you great focused energy for all those long study sessions. If that’s not enough fuel, they also provided a Chipotle coupon and SK Energy shots that have a great taste and 100% natural flavors. All these treats were covering a cute Her Campus gym bag, Her Campus car sticker and a Procrastinating Audrey Hepburn that gave us all a laugh. To accessorize our notes and new ideas for our Her Campus chapter we were also given Pop It single ruled journals, adorably bright Pop It gel pens, a Her Campus clipboard and Her Campus pink pens!

Thank you Her Campus Nationals team for all the awesome swag! We love all the gifts and are so excited for this year!

Rachel is a senior at UC Santa Barbara and studies Communication and Global Peace and Security. Rachel is from a small, beautiful town in southern California called Palos Verdes. However, Palos Verdes is just one of the many places Rachel has lived. Rachel spent her childhood moving and traveling all over the world, living in places such as Indianapolis, Indiana; Santiago, Chile; Vienna, Austria; and Orlando, Florida. Rachel has found her heart and her home in California, choosing to spend her college years in sunny Santa Barbara. However, Rachel continued her wanderlust when she studied abroad in Barcelona, Spain in Fall 2012. At UCSB, Rachel is an immensely dedicated and involved member of her sorority Kappa Kappa Gamma, where she held the positions of Panhellenic Delegate, Inter-Greek Counselor, Rho Gam, and a member of the Nominating Slate. Best Buddies, a nonprofit organization dedicated to creating opportunities for one-to-one friendships, integrated employment, and leadership development for people with intellectual and developmental disabilities, is a passion of Rachel's, as she is their Social Media Coordinator as well as an active and proud member. As a member of the Lambda Pi Eta Communication Honors Society, Rachel is able to implement her prowess and affinity for communication and communication-related issues. When Rachel is not writing, participating in Kappa events, or volunteering, you can find her in the gym, on the soccer field, watching Modern Family, or cooking. Rachel's love for sports, food, and writing often times go hand-in-hand, as one may see in her weekly blogs. For the past two summers, Rachel has been freelance writing for the Los Angeles Times, and hopes to continue her career pursuit of journalism after she graduates. Rachel is elated to be a part of Her Campus's fabulous team and loves every moment of it!
