Lauren Bunker, Staff Writer

Lauren Bunker is your average teenager. She's super stressed about school, really bad about time management and a little bit too dramatic. When she is not dribbling through players at soccer, you can spot her drawing her favorite thing, eyes. But her absolute love is writing. She knows that someday, she will impact the world greatly through her writing. But for now she is not only excited about her first year of journalism but also her first season of competitive soccer. She loves watching law and order or any 80's movie while petting her cat and absolutely hates country music. She spends her time planning her future and avoiding eating meat because she feels bad for the animals. She dreams of working in global issues department of the UN so she can help make the world a perfect place for all people. She's lost count of the amount of books she has and likes so many she can't choose a favorite. Please contact me at [email protected] or at my twitter @lbunkerthefeed .
