Swetland,+Lauren++Introduction

Hey all! My name is Lauren Swetland and I'm a Junior here at SOU. Although I'm a Junior this is my first year here. I transferred from Shasta Community College, which is located in Redding, CA. I'm from a small town just fifteen minutes south of Redding called Cottonwood. For the next two years though I'll be living here in Ashland to fulfill my schooling requirements to become and elementary teacher. I also play volleyball here at Southern and I absolutely love it, go Raiders!! Volleyball is a huge part of my life, but family will always come first. I'm the youngest and only girl in my family, which means I'm a total daddy's girl. I have three older brothers, two of which have children and the other has a baby on the way. I became an aunt at the age of nine and I have loved every minute of it. I'm an aunty to two nieces and three nephews, and soon another nephew. My parents recently celebrated 28 wonderful years of marriage. When I'm not with my family I'm usually with my friends out on the lake. Hmm... some random facts about me; my favorite food is sushi, I know every line of the movie Billy Madison, I have 4 piercings and would've had a tattoo if I wouldn't have chickened out at the tattoo parlor, I like every genre of music except screamo, when I was a junior in high school I had to have knee surgery, and I was born on November 23,1990 and some years my birthday falls on Thanksgiving day.
