Lauren is a sophomore in her fourth year of newspaper, eager to finally to get to sit at the editors table and be a part of the cool people. In her free time (if she has any), Lauren is found on Netflix watching her favorite shows over and over again for the thousandth time, or probably just sleeping. More often than not, Lauren can be found in the Training Room, doing her other favorite thing (the first being newspaper, duh), student Athletic Training. One thing Lauren has discovered during her sophomore year? School is hard. Really hard. But newspaper and the snack cabinet make it worth it.
