Her Campus update- New Article, and Blogger Network!

Hellooooo internet.

Just a quick little post about my beautiful friend, Matlynn Henry, whom I've had the pleasure to spotlight for this weeks Campus Cutie. She was one of my closest dance friends growing up, and we ended up going to UC Irvine together! She's a lovely gal. She's a dancer, loves to nap, and enjoys watching Disney movies.

I was also very happy to see that both my Campus Cutie articles made it to Her Campus Top Chapter Articles! This has never happened to me before, so it's a really big deal for me.

Matlynn Henry!

While I'm on the subject of Her Campus, I am very pleased to state that after applying to the Her Campus Blogger Network, I got an email saying I have a spot in the Network! Nothing makes me happier, and it's quite exciting because I'll have an even bigger incentive to keep this blog updated. I'm going to try and put a focus to my blog, since right now it's just a compilation of pop culture and personal life. I've recently been writing a lot about music, so I might make a tag for it. Not sure yet what I'll do, but either way, I'm just really happy to get this blog on a roll!

New Her Campus article!

Hi internet!
 Just wanted to post about my latest article with Her Campus! I did the "Campus Cutie" section for the month, so I decided to interview an old friend from SPOP (Student Parent Orientation Program at UCI), Konstantinos Kaplanis. I remembered he also had a lovely twin brother, Thanasis Kaplanis, so I figured, why not do a twin edition for Campus Cutie?

Konstantinos and Thanasis Kaplanis- HC Campus Cuties of the week!

They're stunning, ain't they? ;) haha, they've got great personalities, and were so kind to let me interview them last december! It was interesting to see what they're involved in at school, what they think of twin telepathy, and just how they're similar/different. 

 

Please check out the link below to read more about them!! (and give this blogpost a lovely +1 ! )

Campus Cuties TWIN edition!

Season's Greetings

It's been a while since I've posted anything on this. Funny how I was so determined to keep this updated every week, but alas, I'm terrible at keeping promises/commitments. Something I'm going to try and work on this upcoming year.


Significant events that happened since I've last posted:

• My SKC co-workers are actually really awesome and I'm glad I was apart of such a fun camp. It was a long week each week, but overall I enjoyed it. I also learned how to make friendship bracelets so that was cool.
• Fall Quarter of UCI started out rough, but slowly got better.
• I joined the Whovians Club and Her Campus writing club (again) and it was probably one of the best decisions I made this quarter.
• I sort of like Linguistics and I absolutely hate Bio Sci- Life Sciences.
• I really love my Etude Family and still can't believe I'm apart of the ensemble.
• I'm staying an extra year of school (I'm not graduating on time because of the year I took off) and I'm still kind of training myself to accept that it's okay.
• Because I'm graduating in 2015 and not 2014, I am planning on picking up a minor in Literary Journalism. I realized that I really enjoy writing and I want to get better at writing. Hopefully that can turn into a major, if I work hard enough in my time at UCI. I'm also thinking about business/management as well... 
• My ankle is slowly but surely recovering. 
• oh and I'M 21 (and invincible)

Anyways, I'm home for the holidays! I drove home from Irvine for the first time by myself. That was kind of a big accomplishment for me since I absolutely loathe driving, so I was really happy about that.

I'll have more to write about when I'm not marathon watching Grey's Anatomy. In the mean time, Enjoy the Her Campus articles I wrote this quarter:

Happy Holidays! 

I posted two new articles with HerCampus!

I also forgot to mention in my last post that I have 2 new articles up with the online collegiate magazine that I'm currently writing for called HerCampus!

One article is simply an event page for the Spring Awakening musical that is being performed at my college:

Blah Blah Blah Blah Blah Blah Blah Blah Blahhhh Blah Blah Blah Blah

P.S I'm referencing the song "Totally F*cked" from the musical, I'm not just saying 'blah' repeatedly.

My second article is a stress relief tips page for fellow college girls! Really simple and fun stuff to write about.

Stress Relief Tips

My First Article with Her Campus!!!!!!!!! (!!!!!!!!!!!!!!)

MY FIRST ARTICLE YIPPEEEEE

Click!!!!^^^^^ 

Sorry for the abuse of the exclamation points, but my first article with the online campus magazine that I recently joined called Her Campus is officially up and I'm oozing with excitement! 

It's a bit ironic because my first week I was given the topic of "Health/Fitness" and lets just say I'm a yoga-doing, dance-class-taking, walking-across-campus-over-and-over-again kind of workout girl.... So of course, I wrote about how you can stay physically active, without actually going to the gym. I am clearly very lazy when I'm not in dance haha. Anyways, please check it out, it would be super awesome! 

It is my first article, so be nice ;) Also if anyone has suggestions for what I should write about next (note: it doesnt have to be about health/fitness) please let me know! I'm open to ideas!!
