About Me

     Hello! My name is Lauren, and this blog is dedicated to my development as a writer. Here is a little bit about me! 

My playful pup, Sampson.

     Currently, I am Animal Science major with a focus in Pre-Veterinary Medicine at California Polytechnic State University San Luis Obispo. I have a passion for animals and would like to spend my life helping them as much as I can. I love drinking tea, especially when I’m curled reading a good book. Going along with these two interests, one of my favorite quotes is, “You could never get a cup of tea large enough or a book long enough to suit me” by C.S. Lewis.  For music, country is my favorite, but I also enjoy classic jazz, soft rock, and some indie and pop. Also, fall is personally my favorite time of the year because of the pumpkin-flavored food, rainy weather, and scrumptious scented candles.     

Me on my 2012 trip to France

Traveling is undoubtedly my favorite pastime. I have been to fifteen of the fifty states, and internationally I have visited France, Italy, England, Ireland, Germany, Mexico, and South Africa. I have a soft spot for the French countryside and completely fell in love with their culture after my first trip to Bergerac. 
     My inspiration for writing comes from my aspirations, observations, and relentless curiosity.  I prefer creative writing in order to let my imagination run wild, however I will also write papers that contain my research. As a writer, I enjoy being descriptive and hope that after reading my work, people will view the world in more hopeful and optimistic light.
