Just Another Day in the Office: Switzerland Maymester
May. 25, 2014—Hello dear friends! I am writing to you from the Monte Verita hotel in Ascona, Switzerland. Today, we learned about the potpourri of greats who visited this same mountain for the purposes of fleeing the confinements of general society while simultaneously seeking inspiration for new ways of living and learning about the relationship between the self and the world. Marsha taught us about modern dance from the Laban method, so we danced an impromptu movement choir in an empty swimming pool. Then we hiked for perhaps five hours, during which time, we visited a goat farm, sampled some of that farm's handcrafted cheeses and sausages, played with the baby goats and cooed at a few ducklings, and were visually astonished by the view at every clearing. Just a typical day in the life of a Switzerland Maymester student.
So You Want To Be A Doctor?
May. 19, 2014—I know what you might be thinking—you and millions of others… Can it happen? Here’s how Vanderbilt has already helped to prepare its first-year students for the already daunting process of med school applications.
My PreVU Story
May. 19, 2014—The college search process is not an easy one. Trust me, I know. A few years ago, I was in the same place that many readers may find themselves in now—approaching the end of junior year in high school, with a vague idea of where to apply, but no official campus tours to speak of....
First-Year Registration Tips
May. 17, 2014—Just some advice I wish I'd had a year ago as I freaked out over the decisions and process that was "first-year registration."
The Final Post
May. 12, 2014—Dear readers, it's been a few very splendid years of writing for you--I hope you've enjoyed reading as much as I've enjoyed writing. This is very possibly my last ever post for Inside 'Dores.
Roaming the World
May. 11, 2014—We hereby graduated all the seniors on Friday and sent them off to change the world and make Vanderbilt proud. We might have shed a year or two seeing them all grown up. I am certainly not ready for those farewells yet, but I too am going off into the world! This suitcase-living summer is going to be packed with travels to Switzerland, Texas, Ohio, and Maryland, and then back to school we go!
Curd Your Enthusiasm at “The Bloomy Rind” (Sorry for the Cheesy Pun)
May. 9, 2014—This guest blog was written by the illustrious Dave Bruns, my peddling partner to "The Bloomy Rind," an artisan cheese shop in East Nashville. We biked a long whey, almost ten miles back and forth, for our midday meal due to our infatuation with cheese. His witty writing is quite gouda, so maybrie you too will become enraptured by his tale of our quest for mouth-watering goodness.
The Last Last Bash
May. 9, 2014—This post is coming a bit late, but what else is new? It wouldn’t be blogging if I weren’t just a little bit behind. Every year, my sorority has its last date event the Thursday before the Rites of Spring music festival. Called Last Bash, it’s always a fun time hanging out with sisters, and...
The Great Apartment Hunt
May. 8, 2014—Good news, dear readers--it looks like I'll be staying in Nashville for at least a little while post-grad! More on that later, most likely, but this brings me to something that has been taking up most of my free time: apartment hunting.
This is it!!
May. 8, 2014—THE day is here. It’s really weird to think that those chairs set up on alumni lawn are for MY class’ graduation. But that is the reality. Man, these past four years have FLOWN by. There have even been moments during this final semester when I would walk through campus and be oddly reminded of...
