Yes, many of us here at Her Campus are pursuing a career in journalism or have dreams of becoming a writer. Her Campus has taught me so much about writing, deadlines, professionalism and creating good content. But it’s also given me so much more. It’s not only given me a resume booster and a chance to see myself become a published writer, it’s given me a team of girl bosses and things that have genuinely made my college experience better. Whatever your major or career aspirations are, there’s so many reasons to join Her Campus.
1. Fun events
Her Campus hosts fun events and bonding experiences throughout the year like game nights, viewing parties and pumpkin patch trips. Plus, there’s even some travel opportunities.
