Hobbies: I love reading books and watching movies. But at the same time, I’m known for my obscure taste. I like sadness and horror most, but best if wrapped up with visual beauty. Admiration is also one of my hobbies. My favorite word is “beautiful” and I love to use it
Campus Chill Zone: I love to hang in the catwalks of Kresge Theatre, especially while other students are rehearsing down below. It’s really amazing! CFA in general is the best building to go exploring through!
Lauren Mobertz studies Professional Writing and Hispanic Studies at Carnegie Mellon University, and will graduate in May 2012. To fuel her interest in urban studies, Lauren interned at Oakland Planning and Development Corporation in fall 2010. Since she received her passport, Lauren has not spent more than 7 consecutive months in the US. She spent spring 2011 in Santiago, Chile, translating documents for Educación 2020 and practicing her salsa; summer 2010 in Durban, South Africa, studying the social and economic impacts of the FIFA World Cup and volunteering for WhizzKids United; and spring break 2010 hosting art workshops in Siuna, Nicaragua. Somehow, she always manages to keep up with How I Met Your Mother and a little bit of running, no matter what city she's based in. Lauren hopes to settle down in the East Coast and enter education administration.
