Hi! My name is Zandile, and I'm intrigued by Her Campus for several reasons. Firstly, I'm really hoping to ignite my passion for writing again by joining a platform where I can (hopefully) relate with, connect with, and maybe even inspire many others. Before I indulge in the semantics, allow me to tell you a little about my academic background.
I am in my first year at the University of Waterloo, previously attending Resurrection Catholic Secondary School. As someone who's always had a keen interest in the arts and social sciences, I decided to major in Legal Studies and Philosophy under the Arts and Business program. I aspire to eventually become a family lawyer and even further, run my own law firm-- along with many other side hustles, of course. I'm into almost everything artsy or academia-related. I love writing, drawing, painting, dancing, singing (albeit I really can't carry a tune), crocheting, reading, you name it.
Moreover, I was once an avid writer. I used to write a plethora of stories with a wide range of genres, although I don't think I ever finished one piece. The fervor I had for writing slowly dissipated the more life became more serious. Eventually, writing anything aside from papers for school, rather than for my actual enjoyment, was totally on the back burner. My goal is to shift this mindset I developed towards writing for fun back to what it was when I was much younger, and in doing so, I wish to speak to my inner child. Pursuing anything that appeases her is absolutely worth it to me.
That's all I'll say for now, though I'm sure you'll find bits and pieces of who I truly am scattered along the words of each article I write. I hope to be able to do the same with many of you, because I think that's just beautiful.
