New members = new best friends:
When I first joined Her Campus, I was a freshmen with little to no friends just starting out at my college. I took a chance and decided to put myself out there and go to a meeting and since then I have never turned back. I’ve meet some awesome gals, and some become awesome friends and others became best friends (Like OG BFFs) and definitely helped my transition from high school to college life so much easier.
