Friday Night Lights
Jul. 23, 2013—If you ever get the chance to check out Cheekwood Botanical Gardens here in Nashville, I definitely recommend it. It's an oasis in the midst of a city with beautiful gardens, green spaces, and fountains that's wonderful to explore on a sunny day.
Race to the Top

The Waiting Game
Jul. 19, 2013—The waiting game is my least favorite game. But, sometimes, it is a game I am forced to play. This time around, I am waiting for secondary applications from medical schools.

The Commons Explained
Jul. 14, 2013—So, when I was a freshman, housing assignments were mailed on August 1st. We received a packet with our house, room number, room mate and details about the move-in process. Apparently, this year, students could log into their meal-plan selection and figure out which their house. I am sure that this has created quite the buzz on social media, so here is a little bit about all ten houses on the Commons that will hopefully ease some anxieties.
