I\u2019ll be completing my freshman year of college as of Spring 2026, and while I\u2019ve already had many great experiences here at FSU, the thing I\u2019m most grateful for has been the opportunity to write for Her Campus.\u00a0<\/p>\n
When you join Her Campus at FSU<\/a> (HC at FSU), you\u2019re not only gaining experience and knowledge but also a family. Someone would be hard-pressed to find another organization that cares half as much about each member of its staff as HC at FSU does.\u00a0<\/p>\n Combining work and fun<\/p>\n Whether you\u2019re an incoming freshman or a senior who only has one semester left, if you\u2019re looking for ways to get involved on campus, HC at FSU could be the place for you<\/a>. The fact that you clicked on this article already gives me the impression that you at least enjoy writing, journalism, or just find an all-women-led magazine intriguing.\u00a0<\/p>\n While yes, when you first join us, it\u2019s mandatory to start as a staff writer, creating fun articles to share with our online readers, you can also apply to other positions within the Her Campus team.\u00a0<\/p>\n From editors to social media staff, and even outreach and networking coordinators, there are plenty of roles that fit under the HC at FSU umbrella waiting to be added to your LinkedIn profile. However, we don\u2019t just focus on the business end of things. HC at FSU is constantly hosting fun events for its staff, such as photoshoots and crafting nights!<\/p>\n Not that this is the only reason you should apply, but Her Campus often collaborates with fan favorite brands like NYX<\/a> and Armani<\/a>, and a little birdie told me that free samples aren\u2019t an uncommon sight for the HC at FSU staff.<\/p>\n Building community<\/p>\n At each Her Campus meeting, the executive board gives shout-outs to the previous week\u2019s most-read articles and hard-working staff members. Everyone involved with this brand tries their absolute best to make the space inviting and accepting.\u00a0<\/p>\n Since we have physical meetings in person every week, it\u2019s very possible that you, like the many writers who came before you, will meet some new friends who share your passion for creating articles, graphics, or social media posts.<\/p>\n Plus, getting out of your dorm and being excited about where you\u2019re going is always a bonus, especially freshman year, when the concept of trying new things is at its most exhilarating and terrifying.<\/p>\n Getting involved<\/p>\n Whether you\u2019re thinking about actually joining HC at FSU or not, one of the best things you can do for yourself while you are at college, in my opinion, is to get involved with as many things as you can, within reason. I\u2019m not saying you should let your grades drop because you joined the underwater basket-weaving class at 7 a.m. every Friday.\u00a0<\/p>\n The more involved you are in your undergrad, the more connections you\u2019ll make. Networking is a major reason why many go to college in the first place.<\/p>\n Obviously, I\u2019m biased, and I think that everyone who is even remotely considering applying to HC at FSU should, but there are also so many great clubs and organizations here at FSU. It would be a waste not to join anything at all. Don\u2019t let your classes be the most interesting thing about you.<\/p>\n Applications to join<\/a> HCFSU for the Fall 2026 semester went live on Friday, Apr. 25, so even if you aren\u2019t sure about joining right this second, at least come visit us at the involvement fair when the Fall semester starts and see if HC at FSU is right for you.<\/p>\n Want to see more HCFSU?
