Looking at Audrey Halgren, a very sociable and warm-hearted girl, you would never guess her backstory.
Once a new girl, she now has made a positive notion at the school she is almost leaving.
She moved from Oregon to Idaho in 2022, leaving behind a loved friend group and hometown.
School work and home life can be hard to balance for a lot of students, especially seniors. Audrey Halgren, a senior at LHS, does both with time to spare.
Her interest in fitness and music can open up an outsider to her personal life.
Halgren goes to the gym almost everyday. “Fitness is important to me because it allows me to better myself,” Halgren said.
Since she doesn’t play any sports, this grants her to participate in a sport that is more personalized.
“Going to the gym allows me to be a part of some sort of sport while personally bettering myself,” Halgren said.
Alongside the gym, Halgren listens to and plays music. Whether it be scream-singing in the car, on vinyl, or just on her phone.
“I was raised around and grew up with music, so it resonated with me especially in my older years,” Halgren said.
Halgren plays guitar whenever she gets the chance. Her passion for the instrument started a couple of years ago when her father taught her.
Music is an aspect of Halgren’s life that doesn’t only apply at home with her. She spends her free time going to big and small concerts. Posters of Presley and Cobain line her bedroom walls, and guitars and drumsets are set up in every room of the house.
If money didn’t matter, she said “I would pursue a career in music, but dental hygiene is the safer route.”
She plans to attend NIC and get her bachelor’s degree.
Halgren’s wardrobe is just one of the many ways she expresses herself.
“Clothing and fashion is very much an important thing to me,” Halgren said. “It’s a way I can immediately make a first impression when walking into a room.”
“Audrey has a very good style,” Earley said. “It’s like a mix between a Utah girl and a vogue fashion model.”
Leaving behind high school is definitely easier said than done.
“I walked into those doors for the first time as a scared new Freshman at LHS, and now I will soon be walking out as a Senior, with more memories than I could’ve ever imagined,” Halgren said.
Regardless, the people at LHS will always remember her for the good things she’s done for this school and its people, and the priceless memories she left behind.
Another one of Halgren’s friends, Zoie Davies said, “I like that she doesn’t care about what anyone thinks. She comes off as a very confident and secure person.”
