About



Name: Lauren

From: Stillwater, Oklahoma, United States

I am a 19 year old high school graduate and am currently living in Bretagne, France as a Rotary Foreign Exchange student. Next semester I plan on attending the University of Oklahoma as a double major in French and Spanish. I have hopes to be an interpreter someday, if not with the United Nations then with some other type of international organization. I follow the Aristotelean philosophy that what one gains in the number of friends one has, one loses in depth, quality, and closeness, therefore I have always preferred to have a few good friends rather than a 'group'. I enjoy good books, good music, and good conversation. Of course if it's good, what's not to like?
