This article is written by a student writer from the Her Campus at UIC chapter.

Alex Crocker’s time in the UIC lecture halls are limited. Graduating in May, Alex has a pivotal decision to make. Working straight after graduation or continuing his education? He already started the dreaded adult action of applying to full-time positions. However, as the countdown continues, his decision has been leaning towards getting his masters at UIC. To earn the title of Dr. Crocker, he’s thinking of later transferring to another university for his Ph.D.

Irais is pursuing a marketing major at The University of Illinois at Chicago. Coming from the small country town of Harvard, Illinois, she knows there's a whole neighborhood left for her to explore. Checking off her bucket list activities is what she does in the afternoons and weekends when she’s not napping. She currently cherishes her vast music playlist, Netflix account, Pinterest boards, and her growing show collection of Chucks and wedges. Catch her trying to Penny board to class.

Erin is a Communication student at the University of Illinois at Chicago and the President and Editor-in-Chief of UIC's Her Campus chapter. On a daily basis, she can be found making excessive film references and getting overly emotional about superhero TV shows. She has a deep passion for writing, movies, music, good books, and great food, and will gladly talk your ear off about all of the above if prompted to do so.
