Lauren Erbach

Nicknames?: Lucy, Laurie, Lulu

Righty or Lefty?: Righty

Favorite pet: I am notoriously bad at keeping pets alive. I have had a tiny frog named Romeo, and three fish, Ricky, James, and Emily. None have lasted very long. But my favorite and longest-lasting pet was a crayfish named Little Guy who lasted almost a year!

Coolest place ever been: Orlando, Florida with 39 other girls. Yes, that's right, I was in nationals for poms in eighth grade. (We won!)

Favorite store: Aeropostale

Favorite class: Right now I am in love with American Pop Music, but normally I love English classes.

Last movie seen: The Passion of the Christ

Favorite TV show: The Bachelor/Bachelorette

Perfect pizza-kind/place: Lou Malnati's… gotta go with the hometown favorite!

Ever been pulled over?: Yes. Don't ever speed in Elizabeth, Illinois. You will be caught.

Why Clarke?: It feels like home. The scholarship helped too! ;-)

Most memorable college moment: So far, it has to be my birthday. I love birthdays and my family always spoils me rotten on my birthday. But my friends here made it awesome! We stayed up until midnight the night before my birthday and at 12:01, the celebration began. It made me feel so special and loved.

Bedtime: Anywhere between midnight and 2:00 am on weeknights, 3:00 or 4:00 am on weekends.

Pepsi or Coke?: Pepsi

IHOP or Perkins?: IHOP! And I can't believe that the one here in Dubuque isn't open for 24-hours!

Chocolate or Vanilla?: Chocolate. Definitely chocolate.

Cappuccino or coffee: I don't like to drink either but I love making espresso in the Bean Scene!

Shower morning or night?: Morning.

Like thunderstorms: Love them! I love to listen to the rain, and I love to watch out my windows when it's storming.

First love: Matt Baker in kindergarten… but he's nothing compared to my love now! ;-)

Even eaten an entire box of something?: Oh yes. I think it was that Cheese-It Party Mix.

Favorite package from home: The one I got before finals. I think I fed my whole floor on all the stuff my parents sent.

Weakness: I get stressed way too easily.

Age you hope to be married: Between 24 - 26

What else do you want to tell us about yourself?: I'm an Aquarius who's into snowboarding and has a collection of cow stuffed animals. I also enjoy photography and listen to any and all kinds of music. (I've even started to like country now that I'm here in Iowa. Oh my!)
