What It's Like Being A Style Guru At CollegeFashionista
CollegeFashionista

This past summer semester I had an awesome opportunity to be a Style Guru For CollegeFashionista. Style Gurus are also known as Social Meda Interns. During this summer I have had a lot of questions most of them along the lines asking, "What is it like to be a Style Guru at CollegeFashionista?" I honestly could answer that question in one word. That word would be...

But I think that one word does not really do this internship justice. There is so much more to this internship than just one word. CollegeFashionista has been an awesome opportunity to me, a great opportunity to many others and will serve as a great opportunity to future Style Gurus.

Here is the reality of what being a CollegeFashionista is like...

It is eye-opening.

Being an intern at CollegeFashionista this past summer opened my eyes to lots of opportunities. These opportunities are from job openings listed on the CollegeFashionista website (and are exclusively for Style Gurus), learning from the pros, opportunities to grow as a writer and a photographer, opportunities to connect with people, and opportunities to build up my skills for a job in the future.

It is Educational.

One huge benefit of being a Style Guru is that you get access to learn from the big shots in the fashion industry. During the summer I got to hear podcasts from people who worked as buyers, make-up artists, writers and more. Being a Style Guru is educational because the main task of being a Style Guru is writing monthly articles. Writing articles allows you to research relevant topics, trends and more in the fashion industry.

It is fun.

This one is very self-explanatory, but being a Style Guru is fun. CollegeFashionista provides lots of fun opportunities to have fun and get to know your fellow Style Gurus. During the summer CollegeFashionista started the "CF Clubhouse" in NYC that had guest speakers, yoga, movie nights, makeup sessions, and more. Plus, it's a lot of fun to read articles that you and your fellow StyleGurus wrote.

It creates new friendships.

CollegeFashionista is an amazing place to meet new people who have the same interests as you. On a surface level being a Style Guru has allowed me to gain a lot of Instagram followers, Facebook friends, and LinkedIn connections. Although increasing numbers on social media is nice, what's nicer is the other Style Gurus. All of the Style Gurus I have interacted with are always extremely nice and helpful. If you need someone to help you write an article, help you apply for other internships, your Style Gurus got your back.

So if you're on the fence of whether you want to apply for CollegeFashionista, here's what I have to say, I say, "Do it." Go for it. You never know unless you try. Being a Style Guru has been awesome and I am so excited for the fall and CollegeFashionista has to offer me.

In honor of Mother’s Day, I have been thinking of all the things my mom does for my family and me. Although I couldn’t write nearly all of them, here are a few things that moms do for us.

They find that shirt that’s right in front of you, but just you can’t seem to find.

Thank You on wooden blocks

1. Thank you for being the one I can always count on to be honest.

A true friend will tell you if the shirt is ugly, or at least ask to borrow it and "accidentally" burn it.

2. Thank you for accepting me for who I am.

A best friend will love you regardless of the stale french fries you left on the floor of your car, or when you had lice in 8th grade and no one wanted to talk to you.

Everybody gets sick once in a while, but getting sick while in college is the absolute worst. You're away from home and your mom who can take care of you and all you really want to do is just be in your own bed. You feel like you will have never-ending classwork to catch up on if you miss class, so you end up going sick and then it just takes longer to get better. Being sick in college is really tough and definitely not a fun experience. Here are the 15 stages that everyone ends up going through when they are sick at college.

Do as I say, not as I do.

Your eyes widen in horror as you stare at your phone. Beads of sweat begin to saturate your palm as your fingers tremble in fear. The illuminated screen reads, "Missed Call: Mom."

Growing up with strict parents, you learn that a few things go unsaid. Manners are everything. Never talk back. Do as you're told without question. Most importantly, you develop a system and catch on to these quirks that strict parents have so that you can play their game and do what you want.

"Friends" maybe didn’t have everything right or realistic all the time, but they did have enough episodes to create countless reaction GIFs and enough awesomeness to create, well, the legacy they did. Something else that is timeless, a little rough, but memorable? Living away from the comforts of home. Whether you have an apartment, a dorm, your first house, or some sort of residence that is not the house you grew up in, I’m sure you can relate to most of these!
