Her Campus

Summer is just around the corner, so it's that time: college students and recent grads all over the nation are scrambling to submit their resumes for the internships/jobs of their dreams. Or, you know, for internships that are hiring and at least slightly related to their majors. So it’s time to wow those potential employers. What’s our first step, friends? Why, it’s checking on that resume, of course!

When most of us were still in elementary school, a little film called “Bridget Jones’s Diary” stole the hearts of moviegoers everywhere. The film tells the story of a 30-something British gal named Bridget (played by pre-wax figure Renée Kathleen Zellweger) who lives her life like it’s perpetually the weekend of her 21st birthday.

It’s spring break, you’re with your friends, you’re laughing, and suddenly you realize that you didn’t bring your spring break survival kit. Uh oh. Well, that sucks for you, but lucky for me Her Campus sent us writers one to get us through our break! I’ve gone through and reviewed each item, ranking them from 1-10 on a scale of how useful they actually are.

When I was a teenager, I was pretty sure that everything my mother said was useless white noise meant to stop me from having fun. Naturally, this meant that I wanted to do the opposite of whatever she said.

Have you ever wanted to do a low-cost trip? This alternative has become more and more known and was adopted by people from all over the world, once you have the opportunity to know more places in the same country spending less. But many times, you don’t know what to expect from such an experience, which can be very pleasant and, at the same time, there are some issues. So, before deciding whether you want to venture out, take a look at these points

The opinions expressed in this article are the author's own and do not reflect the views of Her Campus. After I initially learned of the murder of Nabra Hassanen via social media, I took it upon myself to search through the few articles and news reports about the event. A 17-year-old Muslim girl died on Sunday, June 18 of blunt force trauma to the upper body by a metal baseball bat three hours away from my home and, as a fellow woman of color, I wanted to know why. Watching a recording of thei

College teaches you how to balance school work, a social life, job(s), organizations, and passions. Sometimes, this means late nights and early mornings. The ‘On Her Grind’ Series looks to highlight women on ODU’s campus who work hard balancing these things and make it look flawless! Sasha Marshall (pictured right) is a senior double majoring in Biochemistry and Criminal Justice. She is the Vice-President of F.I.R.S.T Ladies, Treasurer of D.E.S.T.I.N.E.D, 3rd Vice-President and STEM committee c

Growing up in Tampa, Florida, it never crossed my mind that I would spend my college years in Texas.  I had actually never even been to Texas until I was a junior in high school. I mean, I live where you vacation! Why would I ever want to leave that? But, when I stepped on the campus of TCU for the first time, I knew it was for me. The sense of community and adventure is what drew me to this great school.  Tampa and Fort Worth do have many similarities, but the differences are just as great. T

The time has come where only a few weeks of school have passed, but every time the alarm goes off, your head starts to pound with it. You pretty much feel like you’re dying. The back to school plague is something that almost all college students are familiar with.  Waiting in line at the health center, living off of Emergen-C and Advil, and taking a Nyquill before bed are all too familiar. But, for any college student, getting sick for the first time without having someone to care for you migh

‘The ability to both care about ourselves and everyone around us, to show emotion and to strive for our goals despite all the things that stand in our way,’- Megan, 19.

Many students are currently finishing off assignments and preparing for exams. The last few weeks have been filled with late nights and library bins filled with stacks of empty coffee cups. After all the St. Patricks Day celebrations, all that coffee was swapped with another substance for many of these students, one that is very much associated with being Irish.

This time last year, I sat down to write one of the first articles that would start my journey as a journalist. It is amazing to realize that I can think back to that time and know that’s where it really all began. At 17 years of age, I started studying the course and profession that I had dreamed of and worked towards my whole life.

Sometimes the monsters aren't the ones under our bed, they’re the ones in it. They’re sometimes tall enough that we must stretch on our tippy toes to kiss them or they have the most perfect smiles and brown eyes that remind you of lyrics and poetry. They like cappuccinos and puppies; too. And our parents probably love them. They bought your mother chrysanthemums and watch the soccer with your father.

It was risky, I know. One day, I just woke up and thought “what have I to prove anymore”, thus, I deleted my Instagram account. We were consumed in it for so long, I received my validation from likes yet I compared myself to every woman on it.

As the sun begins to shine and our campuses warm up, the designs available in stores tend to get a little… shorter. And this year, that adjective doesn’t just apply to the lower half of our outfits. The powers that be have decided that the look of this summer is Pooh Bear-chic. You can’t walk into a Forever 21 or H&M without being surrounded by half-size shirts and, frankly, Twitter isn’t having it — the whole world around.

Life after college isn't as bad as you think.

In case you haven’t checked Instagram lately, here’s the big news: Miley Cyrus teamed up with Converse to bring us a collection that encompasses every part of Miley’s style – and yes, that means glitter.

You don’t know me, the poltergeist of the new pair of jeans that lay before you. Yes, they have a tiny hole the size of my unnaturally small pinky in the seam of the right knee. To you, they’re the perfect, soft material, more than ready to be distressed so you can feel like a badass when you wear them with whichever pair of shoes make you feel powerful. My personal shoe of choice would be black combat boots, but a little heel or a sneaker would do just as well. You’re probably planning a whole

Last year, Rihanna championed inclusivity in the beauty world by launching Fenty Beauty and rocking everyone’s world. This month, she’s bringing us something a little more ~intimate~. On May 11, Savage X Fenty is launching, a lingerie line good enough for the Bad Girl herself. Given what a fashion icon Riri has become in the last few years, it’s about time.

Yesterday, Janelle Monáe dropped a female-directed, girl gang-centric music video for her feminist bop, “Pynk” – and this video is full of looks. From Janelle’s hot pink eyeliner to her structured dress with pink fur sleeves, the major style details are a serious statement.  She also wore vagina pants in the video, in case you didn't get the message about ~celebrating women~.

Coachella may be a music festival, but we all know that fashion is at the forefront of every show. Since its creation, Coachella has been a hotspot for festival fashion, kicking off the season and setting trends for the year. Balancing fashion while battling the heat is no easy feat, and efforts to look effortless in the middle of the desert should be rewarded. So, to spotlight a few, here are five of our favorite outfits from the first weekend of festival madness.

Stranger Things star and repeat red carpet showstopper Millie Bobby Brown was named to this year’s list of Most Influential People by TIME. At just 14 years old, Brown is the youngest person to ever make the list. She arrived at the Time 100 Gala in her usual way: stealing the attention of everyone within a five-mile radius. Just look at her!

It’s the beginning of October, which means summer has officially come to an end. The tan lines are fading, the summer weather is changing, and my mood is saddening. Summer is one of the best seasons of the year for multiple reasons, one of them being that you no longer have to go to school every day. As much as I love going to school to see my friends, late movie nights and sleeping in are my favorite things. Swim parties and snow cones are always exciting, but something that sucks about summer,

I believe in worn tennis shoes. The smelly, muddy, slouchy shoes are my instant heaven. You see, tennis shoes are not just regular shoes—they’re cool, versatile shoes. They can be worn with a t-shirt or with a sweater. They can be worn in the summer or the winter. They can be a variety of colors or just simply plain. But I believe in worn tennis shoes. Tennis shoes that have a flush bottom from wear and tear. Tennis shoes that have old shoe laces which constantly unlace. I believe in the tennis

A: "I chose TCU because of the community and the people! When choosing schools, I always felt like at TCU, you’re so much more than a number or another student, you’re an individual and I loved that sense of importance that TCU places on all of their students!" Q: What extracurricular activities are you involved with at TCU? A: "I am a member of Zeta Tau Alpha sorority where I am currently serving as Associate Panhellenic Delegate and I am also a part of TCU Student Foundation." Q: Why did yo

The Her Campus spring break survival kit is here and has everything you need or the perfect spring break! Here what you can use to enjoy a relaxing spring break and prepare for the rest of the semester… These are awesome tanning towels to get you that glow before you hit the beach! They stay on for about three days before you need to re-apply. But make sure you have a friend help you get everything because if you don't, you might end up looking kind of splotchy. Another plus is that L'Oreal's s

With the semester coming to a close and summer right around the corner, feeling a lack of motivation this time of year is extremely normal. Even though it’s technically best to stay off social media during finals, I seriously urge you to look up #StudygramCommunity on Instagram.

Having a long name is both a blessing and a curse. It's unique but can be quite bothersome. As a kid, I would have a hard time trying to get others to use my full name because people would not bother to learn its pronunciation. Often times, I fluctuated between my full name and multiple nicknames. Although I hated having a difficult name growing up, I now realize that other people share mutual struggles.

Since this week is all about self-love, let’s start with the basics: snacks, cravings, and loving your body. I am guilty of being a constant snacker — I literally snack more times a day than I actually eat a full, balanced meal. As a college student, healthy snack alternatives can add up, and oftentimes it feels like it’s not worth breaking the bank for.
