Her Campus (@hercampus) (@hcsacredheart)

Of course I had to plug both her campus account and her campus sacred heart account. Both of these accounts post often and post positive quotes and images to make your day better. Also both accounts post polls asking different questions ranging from your favorite coffee to your favorite book.
