Student Health for Dummies
Apr. 26, 2014—This semester I have been sick and injured so often that I feel as if student health has become my home away from Cole. However, that means I have learned a great deal about Vanderbilt's medical care for students to share with y'all...
Vandy Arts!
Mar. 31, 2014—This semester has been an awesome example of how Vanderbilt keeps its students in touch with up-to-date professionals in their field, particularly in the arts! Everyone knows about Vanderbilt's contributions to football and academics, but hardly anyone knows about its awesome theatre department! This year they brought in many new features that I have been able to work with, and I wanted to share some of those stories with y'all!
Campus Events!
Feb. 16, 2014—When I was a freshman, I loved going to the events that Vanderbilt sponsored. As an upperclassman, I have less time to go to these because I'm busier, working, and have greater access to off campus events. That means that I enjoy them all the more, though! Last weekend, I got to go to two such events--Casino night sponsored by the Vanderbilt Programming Board, and movie of the month from the Student Government...
Books Galore!
Jan. 9, 2014—One of the biggest struggles at the beginning of each semester is getting all of your new textbooks. This process is expensive, time-consuming, and difficult, especially if you don't know exactly which classes you are going to keep. You definitely don't want to buy them too early or too late. Buying your textbooks is like saying your vows: "til death do us part, class, because I have spent $50 on this book for you"...
Five Things to Look Forward to!
Dec. 9, 2013—This week, most people will be heading off to start their Christmas breaks, but I need to stay in Nashville until the 20th because of work obligations. I also spent Thanksgiving here, so, I thought it would be appropriate to share the top five things I love doing when at Vanderbilt during breaks...
Teaching at Peabody
Dec. 9, 2013—I have recently realized just how little I knew about what it took to become a teacher before I came to Vanderbilt. I did not know anything about the steps that were taken, and the different nuances you could receive in your degree. I had never had anyone spell it out for me, so I wanted to give all potential future Peabody-attendees a summary of what to look forward to in the upcoming years...
A Rare Gem
Dec. 9, 2013—When I first came to Vanderbilt, I participated in Visions, as every freshman does. One of our meetings involved going to Vanderbilt's Psychological Counseling Center (PCC) to see what they had to offer. I did not give much value to the trip because I considered it almost inferior to go ask for help. It was not until recently that I realized just how valuable the resources there are--and how wonderful it is that Vanderbilt provided them for free...
The Highlight of my Week
Dec. 9, 2013—I am a junior with only 8 meals per week to her name. So some might ask: why do you spend 2-3 meals per week on coffee at Last Drop? While I do love coffee an inordinate amount, that is not the reason. The real reason I spend an entire meal on a cup of coffee, bagel, and muffin, is because my time there is the highlight of my week...
The Performances Will Rock
Dec. 1, 2013—This last week of school is going to be crazy with all of the exams that are cropping up, but it will also be a performance-seeker's dream come true! All the groups on campus are pushed into performing during these few days, packing our last week of classes with excellent displays of how talented Vanderbilt students can be...
