Hi Everyone!  My name is Lauren, and I’m a fun loving, adventure seeking, overambitious second year student at the Sauder School of Business, that has studied everything from Organic Chemistry to 18^th Century Literature!  I have a love for traveling and water sports, to the point where I consider Maui as my second home simply because I can never resist a week long getaway to go paddle surfing even during the middle of a busy week long reading break.  My secret to a happy, well-balanced life is to spend at least half hour per day focusing on me.  No, I’m not conceited nor self absorbed, but I love to spend half hour per day alone painting my nails while listening to music, or watching re-runs of the O.C. while pretending that I’m playing the role of Summer Roberts.  I’m very excited about all the different marketing aspects that I will learn over the course of this semester, and I hope you enjoy reading some of my weekly thoughts!
