Lauren Conrad is officially retired from reality TV and won’t be returning for the new season of The Hills this fall, but she has high hopes for it.
On her official site, the 23-year-old LC blogged some thoughts on saying goodbye to the MTV show that has chronicled her life for five seasons:
“Last night was my last episode of The Hills. It was a bittersweet night for me. A part of me is sad to say goodbye to something that has been such a prominent part of my life, but I know that it was time and I am very happy with my decision.”

“I want to take this opportunity to thank everyone who has watched and supported me over the years. While putting my personal relationships and struggles on television wasn’t always easy, the support I received from people made such a difference.”

“Because of all of you and your support, I was able to accomplish so many aspirations and for that I am very grateful. So, THANK YOU EVERYONE!!! I have some interesting projects in the works and I will keep you all updated.”
“From what I’ve heard the next season will not disappoint. :-)”
Wow, an exciting tease. The new scripts must be really good.
