Intro to me!

I am Lauren Elizabeth Consul and I am 19 years old. I was born and raised in Las Vegas, Nevada and moved to Orange County to attend college. When people hear I am from out of state they usually ask me why I chose Irvine. To this I explain that Ialways wanted to go to college in California near the beach. While there were more factors in my final decision on Irvine, that was what I first looked for. Currently I am a double major in Criminology and Psychology, but will most likely end up just in Psychology. After I graduate I want to attend graduate school for clinical psychology and one day work with criminals in jails.
My family is an extremely important part of my life, and I am the youngest of three children. My parents, my brother, his wife, and their child all live in Las Vegas. I also have a sister who lives in Fort Walton Beach, Florida with her husband, and their two children (with another on the way). One of the greatest joys in my life is being Aunt and it is very hard for me to be away from my family.
In high school I was the captain of the women’s cross country and track team. Running is still a passion of mine and I try to fit it in to my busy school schedule. Currently I live in Newport with two other roommates and I love living at the beach. Traveling is also a huge passion of mine and I am planning on studying abroad for a semester next fall in Siena, Italy. I have been fortunate enough to travel to many states within the US and to Europe three times. Traveling is such a great way to expose yourself to different cultures and types of people, and I love experiencing that. That’s me in a nutshell!
