Dear Ms. Dragovic,

I am interested in contributing a story which covers the horrors of female hygiene particularly in college residence halls. I know you search for the hottest topics around, and this topic is a messy situation that needs to be addressed.

The story will contain interviews from female residents who have first handedly experienced a roommates hygienic downfall, but didn’t know how to handle the situation. It will also provide “How To’s” on addressing your roommates messy situation and avoid becoming a hygiene culprit yourself. Being a college student myself and living in an all female residence hall has opened my eyes to how ‘dirty’ we girls can be. Hair on the floor, female sanitary products that don’t make it to the garbage, and dirty panties which lay crisply on the floor. Sadly, these girls are in need of an inter-friend-tion, one Teen Vogue and myself can help initiate.

I am currently studying Fashion Journalism at the Academy of Art University in San Francisco. Being in college provides me the easy opportunity to not only first hand experience this issue but also interview other female residents at the Academy of Art University. Thus, I hope you will take into consideration my determination to cover such a story, and how passionate I am about making college and residential life much easier to deal with. I hope to hear from you soon.
