Third year at UCF :)

WOW!!! It's been so long since I've visited this old blog of mine and oh what memories this brings back! I love going back and reading from years back in highschool and how this blog helped me.

For a little update, I couldnt be happier with where I am today. I am starting my third year at UCF as an Event/Hospitality major, working for the College of Buisness, a brother of AKPSI, enjoying the college life, discovering new things about myself, and in love (:

I'll be going up to South Caroline for a nice vacation soon and moving into a new apartment. I have some different plans for next summer 2013 in which im anxious for and hope they work out. I hope to venture on Bike and Build and have such a life experience helping others while growing as a better person myself.

Kasper is and always will be one of my close best friends. He's doing well and is 12 years old now!

I hope to keep up with this with years to come. I find it interesting to come back and read my thoughts!

With much love and laughter! <3 Lauren

what a ride.

Wow. It's been so long since posting in this blog. It's now 2011! Summer 2010 was a fun one, the start of UCF was a GREAT first semester. Good grades and rowing for ucf now! I love it! I'm really happy with everything now. I miss UF friends ): and kasper and family, but i guess its just a new experience. This past winter break was a really fun one! haha lots of adventures ;)

Now we start 2o11. Here's to an amazing year, good grades, awesome rowing, healthy, wealthy, good relationship, and lots of fun :)

nowwww the bachelor is on...i'll post in time!

with much love and laughter, LB

getting to the end

So I have about 5 weeks of school left at Lake mary high. FINALLY! I'm SO excited for UCF!!! its almost there. with ucf comes apartment, new people, new friends, new guys, rowing, new experiences, adventures, parties, and fun times. I am truely more than excited to set out on this new adventure. IM DONE WITH LAKE MARY. Rowing should be pretty neat. Ive been working out alot to prepare!

Some things have been rough. thinking alot. working out and running seems to be something to clear my mind.

Kasper says hi. haha hes almost 11! :o

welp, graduation june 9th. classes start june 28 and i couldnt be more excited. :D

with much love and laughter, LB

wow.

it's been such a long time since i came back to this blog. *sigh* so much has happened, theres no where to start! perhaps i should keep up with this blog..or leave and let live? not sure. well maybe i'll just give a short overview...

senior year, classes doing alright, homecoming queen, band sucks, no vball, passed out after giving blood, now im here. just me. thinking as i always do. college is just so close! looking at ucf.

so i just read some old convos, old blogs, pictures...such memories. make me teary eyed ): happy times, sad times...makes me look forward to the future more, but miss the past =/ i cant say im not happy right now, im great, livin life. somethings missing though ):

i have a big heart, lots of love to share...wondering when he will come around. guh.

maybe i shouldnt think so much about it...perhaps when we run into eachother we'll know...maybe not. haha so confused ):

but with colllege coming up maybe...but then again grades come first. well, now that im ranting on my thoughts perhaps its best to leave it. haha gotta go to work now. oy. i'll try to keep up with the blog. i wonder if anyone reads them anyways...but i guess it doesnt matter...puts my thoughts down. ha

with much love and laughter, LB

:)

The end of school is nearing. Summer is approaching. Yipppeeee!!! I thought the school year would never end....wait it hasnt yet. haha. hopefully i can make the best of my junior year in the next week or so...bringing some grades up possibly. =/ So this summer... im SO EXCITED! Sun, beach, kayak, swim, online school =/, job hopefully, besties, girles, matt, parties, food, movies....i cant wait!

As highschool progresses, it seems it just keeps getting better and better (grades being the exception =/) this year has been fun with the girlies! and this summer will be even better! Matt makes me sooo happy! Im so glad to have him in my life. Next year i will be a senior! woop woop! much fun!

So hopefully i get a job this summer! i need to get a laptop! and save for college! :)

I think i just realized today how much i truly hate being home for hours at a time with nothing to do. just sitting here makes me so ansty. MUST GO OUT. :p

I also realized something else...people change. for the good and bad. why must kids our age turn to drinking and smoking? a drink here or there i deal with. but excessivly drinking and smoking is an absolute no no... really? why? i'll answer that question...they drink and smoke because they are possibly insecure about themselves or their current lives. Maybe they are mad or sad and looking for a way out and relieving themselves in such ways. maybe they are a little too happy and get carried away. maybe they are pressured into it. or maybe doing it willingly just for the hell of it. Of course ive had a drink or two, but never smoked. i dont see why. if ur hurt in any way, or any of the reasons or others that i listed, why not turn to something else. i dont really understand why someone would hurt themselves in such ways even though they know exactly what they are getting themselves into. One doesnt need to booze and smokeing to be happy. Why not be happy with the ones you love w/o being intoxicated or high.

Im actually really happy where im at now. i have my family, besties, girlies, matt, kasper and just living life. School is school. grades do matter, however, i dont know if this is a bad thing or not...but i am seemingly starting to ...idk the word for it...maybe care less? drift away from sucha drive? idk. of course i am still trying and such, dont get me wrong about that, but right now, everything just seems to be going well.

that prob made no sense to anyone. lol. my own thoughts though. haha

Congrats to those graduates of 09! Neil, Matt, Amber, Shelby, Kim...other seniors as well! You've worked are and now venture off to college! best of luck to you!
I cant wait to graduate! haha ;)

As i look back, i wish prom would come again. haha. it was an amazing night. but then again, i know there will be more amazing nights ahead of me. :)

Now i leave you with this quote...as we all take our own paths, good or bad, as Gandalf said, we must keep our feet, or there is no telling where we might get swept off to. I <3 LOTR.

"He used often to say there was only one Road; that it was like a great river: it's springs were at every doorstep and every path was it's tributary. "It's a dangerous business, Frodo, going out of your door," he used to say. "You step into the Road, and if you don't keep your feet, there is no telling where you might be swept off to.""
