Final Projects: The Business Plan
Apr. 30, 2012—Over the course of my undergraduate career, I’ve had the joy of having quite a few different and often interesting final projects (though none quite as taxing/epic as Nathan’s).

Apr. 28, 2012—My roommate is a prominent member of Occupy Vanderbilt. So, is she still my roommate? Of course! And I couldn’t be more proud; they’re doing some awesome work!
The Joys of Finals Week
Apr. 27, 2012—Finals week. Insert dramatic sigh here. I am honestly quite sad to see that two whole years–HALF of my undergraduate career–is already over. Preparation for my finals is slowly but surely making itself more prominent in my schedule, but that does not deter me from enjoying what is left of life as a sophomore year!

I celebrated Rites of Spring (click here for Victoria’s article) by staying up very very late night after night in order to design, build, troubleshoot and complete my project, and the fruits of my labor (the system and the 10-page...
