Dedicated to Narcissus, who wasted away staring at his own reflection…because I am here, falling asleep writing my own profile.
Â
Name
Amy. Also known as Ames, Amykinz, and A, with no relation whatsoever to the character in Pretty Little Liars
Â
Job Title
HerCampus Harvard Campus Correspondent (basically editor)
Â
Job Description
Reading and editing content, certain administartive duties, coming up with new ideas, profiling oneself.Â
Â
Concentration
Statistics. And secondary is currently unknown, but will be decided upon sometime soon…hopefully. I’m also a pre-med student, so between my concentration requirements and my pre-med requirements, I am kept quite busy.
Â
On Campus Activities
Other than a certain wonderful, fabulous, majestic online publication known as HerCampus, that everybody should be a part of, I also am a design editor for the Crimson’s Magazine, Fifteen Minutes. (If you have a love of pen-tooling, hit me up!)
I am also the treasurer of Camp Kesem at Harvard, an organization that runs a free one-week summer camp for children whose parents have cancer; it’s an amazing organization, and you can help by spreading the word, or by donating to the link below. (It’s tax deductible!)

Or

Lastly, I also volunteer at the Youth Homeless Shelter, Y2Y, where donations in the form of food, clothing, utensils, toiletries, or a helping hand…etc. are always welcome! You can apply to volunteer through the PBHA, and yes, I do like to shamelessly advertise for organizations I am a part of.
Â
Coolest Class(es) taken at Harvard
Â
Let me tell you a very sad secret: I have yet to take a class for simply my enjoyment. I have all of those planned for my very exciting senior spring, where I am going to take all of the courses that I have deprived myself of in order to complete my requisite requirements (redundant, no?).
That said, it does not mean that I have not enjoyed my classes. I LOVED my Expos class, Gothic Fiction. Stat 110 was also an excellent class, and I think a great way to let your brain do some stretching; it’s one of the biggest reasons why I’m a stat concentrator.
Â
Coolest Place on Harvard’s Campus
Â
I can be found either in class, or in my dorm, so my geographical/architectural knowledge is lacking. The Winn Dhall is actually quite pleasant: the ceiling’s glass, so it’s well illuminated, and the working people and clacking keyboards all around encourage productivity. Plus, you’re always close to the food.
Â
Why I joined HerCampus Harvard
Â
Freshman roommate forced me into it. Partially true. I love to write, but in a more whimsical manner, and I was not interested in comping journalism. HerCampus was laid back, had no comp process, and gave a lot of freedom to the writer, so I thought, hey, why not? And from then on, it was history.
