Lauren Jones, Section Editor

Hey there! My name is Lauren Jones. I am currently a junior, and this will be my second year on staff. I love watching TV, especially my favorite show Pretty Little Liars, which I have watched a total of 6 times. I also love to read romance and thriller books. I also spent the entire year of online learning and summer at Atlantic Beach. When I am at the beach, my family and I always go out on the boat and go to Shackleford Banks. I basically spend all of my free time with my sister. I love to discover new country music and go to country music concerts whenever they are in town. After high school, I hope to go to NC State University with my best friend, Emily, and study interior design. I am very exhilarated  to continue writing articles for the MHS Cat Talk!
