Coming into freshman year, I, along with many other freshmen in my class maybe didn’t know where we’d fit in. For me, it was that I didn’t know what I wanted to do with the rest of my life. Knowing that writing was something I was passionate about I knew Her Campus was the best option for me.
When I first started writing I played it safe. I wrote about things that every single college student could relate to on some level. Going into my third year of writing for Her Campus I’ve moved out of my comfort zone and I’ve began to write about what I am passionate about; love, my family and my college experience. Her Campus allows me to do that.
1. You’ll make great, fun, supportive friends- everyone involved in Her Campus has one thing in common, they absolutely love to write
2. You’ll gain experience in leadership roles- what really matters are your real world experiences. This is an easy and exciting way to gain that knowledge
3. You’ll get your voice heard- there aren’t many restrictions when it comes to what you can and can’t write about when writing for Her Campus. You just went through a break up, write about it. You just got denied from a job, write about it. You are having trouble adjusting to college, WRITE! There is someone else out there who is feeling exactly what you are feeling so help by giving him or her something to relate to so that they know they aren’t alone
4. It will open up internship and job opportunities- this is a great resume builder and will be something that is extremely important for your future employer at the magazine or newspaper you want to write for
