Have you ever met someone so well rounded, and focused you wonder how they do it? A perfect example is Lauren Kingsberry! Lauren is a 1st year 5 year MBA major from Bowie, Maryland and this week’s Fabulous Freshman.
HC: Was Hampton your first choice school ? What are you involved in ?
Hampton was not my first choice school. However; I fell in love with Hampton during Honors Visitation weekend when I met my big, and got an academic scholarship. Im currently a part of NABA (National Association of Black Accountants), and serve as a peer mentor within the 5 year MBA major.
HC: How do you stay organized ?
I use Google Block scheduling and a planner.
HC: Often times freshman struggle with creating solid friendships, how has that gone for you ?
It’s been a little shaky, I have less friends spring semester than I did in the fall. I needed to find people that were conducive to my academic and professional life.
HC: Thoughts on the “Hampton man” ? Do you have a beau?
The Hampton Man has confidence and is very personable. I don’t think the Hampton Man is fully developed until Senior Year or even Graduate School. I do believe that there are some budding Hampton men now. And yes I do have boo!
HC: Fav Natural hair product ?
There is a tie between Cantu leave in conditioner and Garnier Fructis leave in conditioner.
HC: Favorite singer ?
Erykah Badu, hands down. My favorite song is love of my life with Common.
HC: Spring Break? Summer plan ?
I recently had 3 interviews, so hopefully those will convert to internships for the summer. But for Spring Break I’m going to work at Express, and apply to be rehired at Six Flags.
HC: It’s January 2019 and you are graduating in the spring what have you accomplished during your time at Hampton?
I will have my real estate license, and my tax app will be up and fully functioning. Also I will have a full time time offer from a big 4 accounting firm.
