Mariana Bastías is a senior at CU Boulder and the current Chapter President for Her Campus CU Boulder. Her articles will range from profiles to movie and book reviews to current events to her own experiences.
Mariana is double majoring in Creative Writing and Psychology, with a minor in Business. As an aspiring novelist and poet, she has published a short story, "Midnight Adventures", and a poem, "The Deep," in Meridian Creative Arts Journal in their 50th and 52nd editions.
Whenever she can, Mariana likes to curl up with a book and a cup of tea and read the afternoon away. Her favorite novel is “The Picture of Dorian Gray” by Oscar Wilde, and she always pairs it with a cup of Earl Gray. Mariana is also an avid coffee drinker; as a professional and at-home barista, she’ll experiment with flavors and roasts. As a writer, Mariana loves filling notebooks with stories, poems, and observations of the world around her, as well as ideas for future articles.
