My name is Andria (Lauria is a nicknamed created by one of my friends a loooong time ago). I'm a 4th year pharmacy student, and I graduate in May 2014 with my Doctorate of Pharmacy. TRUST ME I cannot wait for my 8 years of school to come to an end! They say during your 4th year that you get your life back, so I'm taking the word of those who have traveled this path before me and putting it to the test. Most grad students can attest to the fact that your social life become study parties in the library or at someone's house during the semester. Your summers become jam packed with rotations or internships and pretty soon the next fall semester is upon you. Us students sacrifice a lot for a short period of time (well, in comparison to an entire lifetime) to pursue our dreams. During this 4th year I've decided to ignite major changes in my life and take back the little things I had to sacrifice over the last 3 years of grad school. I'm pretty excited about it.
Yes, this is me kissing a cup a coffee during a finals week study marathon.
I have to give credit where it's due to my long-time friend (since high school) Miss Tami Marie! She started a super cool and funny blog a while back...which inspired me to completely revamp an old blog I had, but never used. You can find her blog link in my blog.
(And this is where a picture of us from cheerleading would go if I had one on my computer!)
I graduated with a B.S. in Biology and a minor in Spanish from UF, which means YES I am a die-hard Gator. I love everything with gators, orange and blue.
That's right. Forever!
I love the Lord and I am so fortunate to have found such an amazing church...which, by the way, you can find the link to on my blog as well. This church has influenced my life in miraculous ways and so have the people I've met there. I've also been blessed with the opportunity to go on 3 medical mission trips through my school. If you ever are presented with an opportunity to go on a mission trip...GO! Ok, well first pray about it, then go! The experience will change your perception of the world and grow you as a person: emotionally, physically, mentally and spiritually.

My family and friends are amazing. I love my parents to the ends of the world and back, and can honestly say that their love, support, generosity, guidance, and faith in the Lord are the things that grew me up into the woman I am. Not to mention, they are hilarious!
I have an amazing man in my life who I love more than anything! Some days I have no idea how he puts up with me and all my OCD-ness! Thanks, TC :)
Lastly, I may have a slight obsession with cats................or in reality a HUGE obsession with cats. I think they are the cuttest animals in the entire world (squirrels coming in at a close 2nd) and I plan on getting a cute little grey kitty when I graduate. Her name is to be determined, but I'm leaning towards Falafel. I'm Middle Eastern, and therefore my cat needs a Middle Eastern name.
These are by far my favorite cat memes. Ever.
Now, let's get the blogging started.
