One thing I love about being part of Her Campus Illinois is the endless opportunities it offers. Aside from being an Executive Event Coordinator, I was given the chance to write and publish two articles of my own!

The first blog post showed my passion for my school: The University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. I decided to focus on balancing the college life: social, educational, clubs, etc. I gave advice on how to maintain the college life, the best places to study at, and also mentioned a few of my favorite places to eat on campus. This piece was fun to walk back down memory lane to my freshman year and all of life lessons I learned, the study habits I threw away and gained, the challenges and victories I faced, and of course all of the yummy food I have tried over the past four years. As a senior graduating in May, this piece made me a little nostalgic. 

​

For my second blog article, I focused on beauty and wellness. Ever since high school, I grown to have a love and passion for skin care and makeup, so it was only right to write about my top favorite products that have stayed through my life long struggle of maintaining my skin. My constant struggle with oily, acne prone skin made me not only more cautious about the products I use, but also made me the confident person I am today. Having the chance to discuss and share what products I think are best, and of course affordable, to thousands of readers was awesome to write!

I am so grateful to be a part of an organization that lets me explore myself more. I never thought of myself as a writer, but writing a few pieces for Her Campus that were published helped me improve my writing skills and found a new love for blogging. Her Campus allowed me be more exposed to real life work and makes me feel confident in all the work I do!
