Lauren Wols is a junior who probably has a friend crush on you. If she’s not writing for Devils’ Advocate, she may be choreographing or doing other work as captain of the color guard team, chilling with her dog, or studying because, as it was stated, she is a junior. You will not find her eating anything delicious because she is a vegan. She hopes to study in another country and someday see the world. If you want to be Lauren’s friend, or have any other reason to contact her, you can reach her at [email protected].
