Prompt # 1: Lauren Schneider

My name is Lauren Schneider. I am from Cincinnati, Ohio and have lived there my entire life. Cincinnati is in the southwest corner of Ohio and is only about an hour and a half away from The Ohio State University. Before coming to The Ohio State University, I went to a private high school named McAuley. My high school was all girls and Catholic. I have one younger brother and two stepsisters, one of which is the same age as me. I also have two cats that I love very much named Bells and Lucky. At The Ohio State University, I live in Smith Hall on South with two other roommates. Even though I did random roommate, we luckily all get along and hang out together.

My favorite time of the year is summer. I hate the cold, snow, and rain. I would rather it be burning hot all the time than freezing cold. One of my favorite places to go during the summer is Huntington Beach, California. I have family that lives out there that I visit with friends every year. I love going to the beach and laying out. While I am in California, I go to the U.S. Open of Surfing which is a huge competition for a week on the beach. It is a ton of fun and there are numerous events going on throughout the week!

I also enjoy playing soccer, shopping, and hanging out with my best friends. I like to go swimming and listen to music. I listen to all types of music – from country to rap. My favorite TV show is the Hills, with Lauren Conrad. Pink is my favorite color. My favorite place to eat is Chipotle.

I chose to come to The Ohio State University because I felt it was the right place for me. I wanted to go somewhere not so close to my house (such as the University of Cincinnati). I also wanted to go to a big school that was still close to a main city. Although I am currently undecided on a major, I am definitely looking into applying to the nursing program.
