Staff Writer
Joining HerCampus FSU my freshman year has completely altered the way I approach writing. Previously I wrote to satisfy a rubric. For most, the ability to write is not something we are born with, but rather something learned and shaped as we grow and change, influenced much by our very own life experiences. HerCampus let me write about things that are both relevant and important. It has given me a voice to be authentic and permission to pull from my personal experiences while incorporating a bit of humor.

Graphic Designer
I didn’t just write articles for HerCampus FSU — I also brought the vibe to life as a graphic designer for their social team, creating visuals that popped just as much as the stories

Penning Perfection.
My Favorite Creative Writing Pieces.

"I love it when people ask me what my major is. It’s got to be one of my favorite questions, especially if I find out they’ve read my Her Campus articles. Those readers often assume that I’m majoring in journalism."

"Sometimes society tempts us by moving so quickly and making us feel that we must keep a frantic pace and our eye on the prize, always thinking and planning. But Billy Joel gives us comfort that there is no need to worry as he promises, “you can’t be everything before your time.”

"Jennifer Kirby (aka my mom) grew up in a small farm town in Nebraska. She attended the local public school where she had the same 10 students in her class from kindergarten to grade 12. After graduation, she went on to the University of Nebraska in Lincoln, graduating with a business degree."

"Sweet 16. Most kids remember this milestone birthday as the age they are finally able to drive solo. Nope. Not me. This birthday will go down as the one that launched my parents into a nagging campaign for me to… get a job. From the very day of my birthday into the weeks and months that followed I filled out countless applications."
