it has been brought to my attention that i haven't quite been on top of my blog postage (thanks la la :) )...so...here's an update of what's been going on in the life of college girl lauren in a few sentences...
i had my first day of class and loved it! (i have so many books i don't know what to do with them all!)
God's growing me exponentially (which is mostly why i haven't been writing; i've been having to process a TON of stuff)...sometimes i wish He would choose someone else to pour His infinite knowledge into :)
there's been some boy drama, but God knows what He's doing so i'm giving up and letting Him do His thing.
i got 100's on my first two quizzes (one in old testament, the other in history of ideas).
i was offered an unpaid internship for the student ministry at my amazing home church, richland creek! i start wednesday! i'm leading discussion for the middle school girls' bible study! i'm sooo excited! especially because i'm working with dave; he's an awesome man of God...but pretty awkward :) haha
got so frustrated with college and life in NC that i seriously considered getting on a plane to california and just going to live with jordan and dee... :)
vince has been putting up with my constant complaints and need for advice.
i had lunch with one of my friends, josh today; he's one of the prof's sons here at southeastern. we have old testament together. he kind of stepped in as my "big brother" and gave me some advice about college and such, which was quite an encouragement.
and right now i have awoken from attempting to go to bed at 8 due to a headache (which i probably owe to all the stress i've been under recently)...but after a few hours of tossing and turning, i had to finally admit defeat and get up to call my mother. so, i'm almost positive that this blog contains so many grammatical errors that i will probably look back upon this tomorrow and cringe. :)
basically, i started off college in great shape, got a bit sidetracked, but now i'm back at it. :)
but, there you have it. an update. in (more than) a few sentences.

Hey Lauren,
You are doing great! Love the sunflower pic... Hope classes continue to go well. Sure they will. Love you and remember Dad and Mom are always here.
Love,
Dad
College Girl has a nice ring..... So proud of you and your activities. Be patient with yourself... lots of growing pains are good.... La-La
huh boy trouble... better be glad I'm not still in NC ;) hahahaha i'd kick some ass. And I feel as the Big Sister I should pass on some Life Learnings so...here it goes
Life Learnings (This is what I have come to learn and figure so far that has helped me) doesn't necessarily apply to you but def to me...
1]Do what you think is best for yourself... not what others feel is right for you. This can pertain to anything
2] Alot of people, especially friends, will do alot of things that are not right and that you won't feel good about... don't be quick to criticize or judge them.. let them do as they please (b/c of #1 for them)... instead focus all of YOUR power into not doing it yourself... I've learned quickly... YOU CAN'T CHANGE PEOPLE.. ONLY THEY CAN CHANGE THEMSELVES... so don't worry bout it. Be the example yourself.
3] Real friends come every million years... the way you know you've found one is that no matter rain or shine they are constant. And if they make your enemies their enemies because your enemies are...your enemies. It makes sense to me ;)
4] Get used to being lonely. You need to be your own best friend... b/c people come and go but you will always be with yourself
5] Realize that you don't have to be nice to everyone. Honestly, I know this goes against everything anyone has taught but... some people are best IGNORED and taken with a grain of salt.
6] Never, ever, ever put yourself in a position with, especially a guy who gives you red flags. One red flag against anyone is MORE THAN enough to DISQUALIFY from being around period. There are mean people in this world (goes along with #5)
7] People are not who/what they seem. And neither are situations... this thought should come up in every situation or person
8] Stick up for yourself. Honestly the only way I can survive California or in life in general is for be to have a thick skin and be able to defend myself (not only physically but mentally...etc) Cali isn't what its cracked up to be.
9] Me and Dee are definately not the most perfect people in the world... by any means.
And finally....
10] Don't do drugs. Period. People who do are humorously PATHETIC and are unfortunately WASTES OF LIFE
I think that's enough for now. I have more but its late
