Name: Lauren Farley
Year: Junior
What’s your Major/Minor? Nursing
Where are you from? Northvale, NJ
What activities are you involved in on campus? I am a Peer Mentor Coordinator; I will be the supervisor next year, I am an Orientation Leader, a member of the Campus Ministry Leadership Team, and a Family-relations committee member for MaryTHON
What are some of your hobbies? I love going into Georgetown to go shopping as well as kayaking on the Potomac, I love being with my friends and family and just hanging out together and going on hikes and being outside.
Why did you choose to attend Marymount? I chose Marymount for the Nursing program and I have family down here so that was an added bonus.
What is one of your favorite things about living close to DC? I love the accessibility to the city without having to actually be in it. My best friend from high school goes to Catholic so it’s so nice to be able to see her so frequently.
What is your favorite thing about Marymount? I love the small class sizes and how close everyone is. You see a lot of the same people and you really get to know them on a personal level whether they are friends or professors.
What is a typical day in your life like? Well this semester and last semester have definitely been the busiest. I typically am busy from 8 am to 8 pm with classes, meetings, work, and finding sometime to go the gym and eat.
What do you see yourself doing in 5 years? I hope to be an Operation Room nurse and attending graduate school to become a nurse anesthetist or a Nurse Practitioner. I’m too sure yet.
What is your most embarrassing moment? Probably taking jazz class last semester, my dance moves were not on point. I had a lot of good laughs though.
How would you describe your style? It depends on the day. If I have a lot going on, I am normally in yoga pants and a sweatshirt. If not, I normally wear jeans, a sweater, and a scarf.
What is your favorite thing to do on a winter day? Having a nice cup of tea or coffee next to a fire with my dog and watching a movie.
What is your dream job and how do you think you’ll get there? My dream job is to be a traveling nurse for a couple of years so I can get to see the country and get paid to do it! I think I will have to work hard in first position as a nurse and as a new grad and then see what happens after I apply to be a traveling nurse.
Who is your favorite celebrity and why? I have a few, but I really like Blake Lively. I think she is so beautiful and such a versatile actress and she lays low with her personal life.
This or That?
◦ Rap Music or Contemporary Pop? That’s a tough one I think I would have to say both depending on what I’m up to at the moment!
◦ Instagram or Twitter? Instagram
Hot or Not?
◦ Ugg Boots…? NOT
◦ Meghan Trainor (her music)…? I like the messages she portrays especially in All About that Bass, but the radio tends to over play her songs. But I think she’s cool so I would say hot.
If you could live anywhere in the world, where would it be and why?
I think I would like to live in California for a portion of my life, just to have a different experience. I grew up living in a colder area so it would be great to be able to have warm weather and the beach at my convenience.
