Melissa is a 19-year-old economics major at Cornell University in Ithaca, New York, with minors in both international relations and east Asian studies. Though she's not pursuing a particularly fashion-related career, she loves fashion and reads many fashion blogs along with contributing fashion posts here at Every College Girl. With one year of college under her belt, she can provide lots of experience and perspective for other girls in fashion and all areas of college girl life.

Likes: fashion, scrapbooking, horseback riding, shoes, playing snare  drum & clarinet, beaches, napping, traveling, being outside, boyfriend  (Dustin!), mangos, muffins, sharpies, shopping, swings, the color pink,  and office supplies in general.

Dislikes: ignorance, arrogance, people who wear clothes four sizes too small, rude people, sunflowers (I'm afraid of them, no joke),  spiders, and being really late for something.
