Miss Lauren Carissa

I know who I am,
I know where I'm going,
And NOTHING can ever stop me.
THROW AWAY ANY PRECONCEIVED NOTION
THAT YOU HAVE HEARD ABOUT ME...
FOR YOU TRULY DO NOT KNOW ME
UNLESS YOU HAVE MET ME.

My name is Lauren Carissa. I am 20 years old, born on November 30th, 1987 in Pennsylvania. My ethnicity is half Italian and half Polish/German/Slovac. My orientation is straight and my body type is 5'5" and very slim. I have a wonderful family which consists of my older brother David, my younger brother Jeffrey, my Mom and Dad, and my pets. I work as a server at the Olive Garden. I am currently a Junior in college. I am double majoring in Neuroscience and Biology. After college I plan on pursuing studies in Medical School in California for a career in Dermatology and in the future I also plan on creating my own skincare line.
You simply cannot determine, yet even begin to understand, all of which encompasses my being of who I am, just by reading about me on a webpage. However, you can at least try to catch a glimpse of what makes me who I am by what I am about to tell you.
I am a dreamer...and I will never cease to dream.
I refuse to be classified as anything other than myself.
I love to have long, meaningful, and intelligent conversations.
I remember almost all of my dreams when I have them.
I have 106 beauty marks sprinkled randomly over my face and body (although I probably missed a few while counting).
I love to laugh. You rarely see me without a smile.
I am overly analytical. Sometimes I worry myself sick.
I daydream quite often...so do not be alarmed if my mind wanders periodically.
I am very organized. I have to know exactly where everything is because I misplace things very easily.
I talk a lot when I get nervous to keep my mind off of things.
I listen to music almost 24/7. It is a big influence on my life, and I do not know what I would do without it.
I have a tendency to repeat myself. Sometimes to get the point across, or simply because I think you are not listening.
I do not judge people...so do not judge me.
I do not agree when people say "first impressions are everything." By just meeting a person once, you simply cannot comprehend all there is to know about that person within a matter of minutes.
I am thin. But that does not mean I do not eat. It is genetic; I have a very high metabolism.
I am tougher than you think I am. (thanks to boxing)
I am a listener. You can tell me anything and I will listen. You can also trust me that I will not tell anyone else about our conversation. What is said between you and I stays that way.
I am a very private person when it comes to my personal life. I do not believe it is anyone else's business when it comes to such matters of the heart.
I believe that no one should ever have regrets.
I do not smoke, nor do I do drugs, or get drunk. I see no point in doing so because I want to experience everything to the highest
degree possible while in a fully conscious state.
When I am older...I plan on traveling the world. I want to see everything that life has to offer me.
Oh, and one more thing. My friends and family mean the world to me. So if you ever mess with them...you will regret it.
