For affirmative action purposes, I have decided to include Lauren Coleman in my list of 26. Just kidding.
In all seriousness, Lauren is a special human being, and I feel like I took her for granted in my Senior Year at UCSD. She is thoughtful, pragmatic, and a decent human being deep down inside her tough exterior. She might be scary and mean to some, but I know she is very self-aware of who she is as an individual. When we met in Programming at Warren, she considered transferring to another school based on her experiences thus far at UCSD. I’m glad she didn’t though, because over the course of the next two years we would develop a friendship that was rock solid. I’m glad we went to some Christmas Event on campus, Â where we solidified the formation of FRIENDSHIP with a picture with Santa Clause.
Our friendship would only continue to grow my sophomore and Junior years with the following experiences
- Paw Hangouts
- Paw Event Planning
- Boardgames
- BSU Jokes
- Movie nights
- Talking Shit in her apartment
- NACURH 2010
- ICRA Events
- ICRA Drama (Thank you for having my back during the Jorge elections).
- Phil’s BBQ
- Driving me to and from the airport (PACURH 2010)
- Rezzies
- Baseball
- Random Outings
- Glee Nights (and watching the Glee 3D Movie)
- Tofu House
- Pho
It was in my Senior Year of college that we started living together (with Tyler, and a few others). Things were great for the most part, until I made the mistake of cutting her out of my life. I’m deeply sorry for the ordeal I put you through, knowing fully well how much it hurt when a similar situation happened to you in the past. There’s no way that I can fully make it up to, but I hope you’re doing well in SF and I hope we will see one another again sometime in the future.
I’ll always remember the fun times we had. Even though we haven’t seen each other since graduation, I know our paths will eventually coincide again in the future. Good luck doing what you’re doing, lawyer of the year.
