April, 2013
Thanks for the memories
Apr. 28, 2013—Not too long ago I was in the very spot I sit right now, curled into fetal position with Ed Tullett playing in the background (look him up…am I cool yet?), lamenting the departure of my parents from Nashville, and nursing my feelings of abandonment/nervous stomachache the only way I knew how. Alone in my...
My Why Vanderbilt
Apr. 27, 2013—If you've been accepted to Vanderbilt and still find yourself frantically struggling to decide where to spend the next four years of your life as May 1st approaches with the speed of a cheetah, I know how you're feeling.
Pros & Cons of Late Exams
Apr. 27, 2013—As I mentioned before, I have the second-to-last exam on Wednesday, so most people will have left campus by the time I'm done. Here's a pros and cons list of chilling at Vandy til the very end of the semester.
A (Not So) Melo Goodbye
Apr. 27, 2013—For most of us, this is our last weekend at Vanderbilt, decidedly one of stressful cramming, overnighters hauled along successive nights of insurmountable worry and an endless supply of our favorite Bongo Java coffee, and the prospect of imminent leaving. I will be following up later this week with some final thoughts on my freshman...
Final Thoughts on Leaving School
Apr. 27, 2013—Undoubtedly the most stressful element of leaving school at the end of the semester is finishing up your exams, projects, and papers. But there are other obligations that also cannot be ignored. For example, all of the different groups have senior send-offs and banquets that you must attend...
Pancakes and Pirouettes
Apr. 27, 2013—In the anticipation of fluffiest pancakes you have ever tasted drowning in some magical sauce concoction, its easy to motivate oneself to wake up at six in the morning in order to get in line for Pancake Pantry. I figure that every one deserves a day off! After my Microbiology exam on Thursday, I declared...
Rites 2013
Apr. 26, 2013—As a resident of Alumni Lawn, I didn’t even have to leave my dorm room to hear Rites this year! During the days leading up to Rites, I saw the entire structure being built, along with fences set up around Alumni Lawn, building the excitement for the two day event. This year’s Rites was the...
Adios Seniors
Apr. 26, 2013—The end of the semester with Victory is always a bittersweet experience. We get to perform our concert, record our newest CD, and have an end-of-the-semester party. The bad part? We have to say goodbye to our seniors. :(
Pre-Med Interview
Apr. 25, 2013—I feel like I just had my first medical school interview and survived! Even though I’m on a junior (and haven’t even applied to med school yet), the Health Professions Advisory Office requires an interview in order to write students a letter of recommendation, and I just completed mine!
Wrapping Things Up
Apr. 25, 2013—In one week, I will be done with Sophomore year and done with half my college career. (assuming I don’t choose to take a victory year). It’s unbelievable how fast this year especially flew up. Only yesterday does it feel like the summer had just ended and I was preparing for my 2nd year at...
