Synopsis
Season 1
Lauren's road to independence was documented shortly after leaving Laguna Beach and moving to Los Angeles where she met up with close friend, Heidi Montag. During her time in LA, Lauren spent her days balancing school at FIDM and working at Teen Vogue. After a hard day of work, Lauren received a shocking phone call from Jason Wahler. After much consideration, Lauren decided to give Jason a second chance. Meanwhile, Heidi confessed that school was not for her; she unofficially withdrew and began working for an event-planning firm, Bolthouse Productions. Heidi was also seen dating Jordan Eubanks, a relationship that grew strong but eventually ended. In the season finale, Lauren was offered a summer internship in Paris that she ultimately turned down so that she could play house with Jason. Fellow intern, Whitney Port, was offered an internship in New York, but when the one in Paris opened up, Whitney immediately took the offer. Heidi confessed to new friend, Audrina Patridge, that she was completely over Jordan. She and Audrina then spent their summer nights as single socialites.
Season 2
Lauren realized that staying with Jason was a huge mistake, and the two had a tearful breakup. Lauren made a promise to herself that she would stay away from dating for awhile after being terribly heartbroken. At Teen Vogue, Lauren was confronted about her decision and discovered that it would take a while for people to get over Lauren's choice. Meanwhile, Heidi was seen dating Spencer Pratt, to much concern from Lauren. Heidi soon learned that Spencer was being unfaithful by flirting with other girls and seeing Audrina on the side. Finally, Heidi declared that their relationship was over. The two evidently got back together much to Lauren's disappointment, and she subsequently turned to Audrina for friendship. With her friendship with Heidi on the rocks, Lauren found herself "competing" with Whitney against the New York intern, Emily Weiss, who visits LA upon occasion and attends several events in place of Lauren and Whitney. However, Whitney visited the New York offices to interview for a higher position within Teen Vogue, a position that Emily was also interviewed for. In the season finale, Spencer and Heidi moved in together, citing a possible end to Heidi's friendship with Lauren. In turn, Lauren's friendship with Audrina was strengthened when Lauren offers to let Audrina move in with her.
Season 3
Lauren's life was at a balance between school and work, but her personal life wastn't going too well. Whitney was hired by Teen Vogue executives as a Fashion Contributor, and Lauren couldn't have been more thrilled. Audrina and Lauren's new living situation was going very smoothly. However, Lauren's relationship with Heidi was going downhill: supposedly, the newly engaged couple, Spencer and Heidi, are responsible for spreading a vicious rumor about Lauren, but the duo blame Brody for their wrong doing. Additionally, with her circle of friends getting smaller, Heidi was promoted at Bolthouse, stepping on Elodie's toes along the way and causing her to quit. Meanwhile, Audrina received a phone call from her ex-boyfriend, Justin, and the two begin a steady relationship.
