May. 30, 2011—Two weeks after graduating college, I feel I’m finally able to reflect on my experiences at Vanderbilt and the impact that four years here had on my life. When asked why I chose Vanderbilt, my typical reply is that my naïve seventeen year old self thought it was a good idea. Looking back, I can...
Medical Research and Shadowing
May. 27, 2011—This summer, in addition to taking Physics, I will be conducting research and shadowing a physician through the Miller School of Medicine at the University of Miami.
My Mini Vacation
May. 23, 2011—After about three weeks of being home, I started having serious Vanderbilt withdrawals. It’s amazing how I adjusted so well to life at Vanderbilt and much trouble I am having re-adjusting to life at home. Lucky for me, my best friend and room mate, Glori, lives four hours away from me, so I decided to...
Summer Classes
May. 10, 2011—Well, that was a short vacation. Summer classes started today. I am taking Physics I and II at Florida International University, which is about 40 minutes south of my house.
Summer Plans
May. 6, 2011—As the school year draws to a close and summer gets ready to start, I’m looking forward to my summer plans. While I’ll be spending most of the summer in St. Louis working as a tour guide at the St. Louis Gateway Arch (come and visit me!), I’m especially excited for my upcoming trip to...
Sophomore Year Comes to a Close
May. 6, 2011—That’s that. I have completed my second year at Vanderbilt! At 5:00 PM on Wednesday afternoon, I finished my Intro to Biological Sciences (BSCI 110B) final which marked the beginning of summer! This morning I packed up my remaining belongings and left for my hometown of Auburn, Alabama. While on the road I began to mentally compile...
Summer Research
May. 6, 2011—This past January, I accepted an undergraduate research position and was recently offered to work over the summer! I will be back at Vanderbilt in early June working in the department of Biological Sciences (BSCI) in Medical Research Building III (MRB III) until early August.
Storage and Moving Tips
May. 6, 2011—Yesterday, along with fellow Inside ‘Dores Blogger Ryan Higgins and a couple other friends, I spent six long hours storing everything under the sun that one can find in a dorm room. We decided to store at Amerisite which is located on Sixth Avenue in downtown Nashville. The facility is secure, climate controlled and quite...
Taps & Tapas
May. 4, 2011—My favorite dinner spot around campus is definitely Hillsboro Village. There are a bunch of restaurants, ranging from McDougal’s (Chicken strips) to Zumi (sushi), Fido (American food in a hipster atmosphere) to Provence (sandwiches, soups, and delicious desserts). This past weekend, I took a Finals Study Break and ventured into one of the newer restaurants,...
It’s Over Already?
May. 3, 2011—Freshman year is over. Yes, today I finished my final presentation and I no longer have any schoolwork for this semester. My mom has come to visit and help me pack, and by Friday I will be moved out of the beautiful Commons and en route back to sunshine-y Florida.
