Rosa Huang ’15

 

I currently split my time between being a mentor with Strong Women Strong Girls, a representative of Student Mental Health Liaisons, being Director of Philanthropy and Social Media Chair for Alpha Phi, and being a Research Assistant with the Harvard Decision Science Laboratory. For the first time in my six semesters here, I’ve actually sought out off-campus opportunities that are not tied to the university, so I also spend quite a bit of time as an intern at Argopoint, a legal consulting firm in Beacon Hill. 

 

 

I am so excited to write a guest blog for HerCampus especially because every time I read something witty or interesting written on the blog I wish I’d written it myself! Hopefully my post lives up to the challenge. I’ve been participating in the 100 Happy Days challenge, which requires you to take a picture of something that makes you happy, and you have to do it for each day 100 days in a row. Mental health and mental health initiatives are very important to me, and i started to do this challenge just to remind myself that especially if I am having a hard day, there’s always even a small thing to be happy about. That’s also why I want to write this post – to get others to appreciate happy moments and the little things. 

 

 

 

As the Director of Philanthropy for Alpha Phi, I am in charge of our first annual Red Dress Gala (or more appropriately for our chapter, Red Dress Brunch). I am super excited to see how the event goes, and how we can pull it off successfully, and establish this tradition for the chapter for future years to come.

 

 

I haven’t even attempted the traditional Harvard bucket list yet so I think Primal Scream next Fall will be the first thing off the list I try to accomplish. From my own personal bucket list, I really want to perform in a show before I graduate, either in Expressions, Ghungroo, or Eastbound. Or all three.
