Laura Carpenter's Introduction

Hi, my name is Laura Carpenter; I’ve been called Laurie, LC, Lola, Laurita, Laurs, and probably lots of other names, but Laura is just fine by me. I am a junior at NC State, studying mathematics. I honestly have no idea what I want to do with my major, but hopefully I will figure that out soon, as time is ticking.
I am tutoring at Mathnasium this semester, and I actually highly enjoy it, but I don’t plan to teach or tutor long term. Although I am from charlotte, the past two years I have been at a college down in Florida, where I swam my heart out, and decided I was over the student-athlete life. Although I’m excited to have seasons again, the cold weather is reminding me why I went to Florida in the first place. Since I am no longer swimming, I love to go for runs or “hit the gym” to stay in shape. 

I am the middle of five kids, which is an experience in and of itself. I have an older brother and sister, and younger brother and sister; I often tell people I get the “full experience”. I am super close with both my sisters, and my little brother. My older brother and I don’t talk much but we still get along; he’s getting married this summer and I’m so excited. In my spare time (which is not a lot) I love to read, or hang out with my friends and roommates; one of our favorite things to do is find a cute coffee shop to do work at.
