Semester Two, Semester New
Jan. 22, 2015—New classes, long lines at the post office, and even a couple of sunny days this week – this can only mean one thing. IT’S SEMESTER TWO Y’ALL. Okay, maybe the new semester actually started about three weeks ago, but my busyness pretty much shows how exciting this semester is shaping up to be. Here...
Sami Reads the Viewbook
Dec. 12, 2014—Now that I’ve been home for almost a week with no schoolwork (wait, what?), and have been trapped inside by a lovely and uncharacteristic California rainstorm, I’ve starting coming up with some pretty nerdy ways to entertain myself.

School is Cool. Like, Actually.
Dec. 6, 2014—So I just finished my last class of the semester. I am not an emotional person, but I swear to you, the last meetings of some of my classes made me irrationally sad. Maybe I’m really invested in my classes, or maybe I’m just a nerd, but regardless, I just need to take a moment...

Today, it snowed. I had...

You’ve probably been looking forward to going to college for some time now, and it’s crazy to imagine...
How to Get Exercise Without Setting Foot in the Gym
Oct. 28, 2014—Don’t get me wrong: the Student Rec Center here at Vanderbilt is great. With the swipe of your Commodore Card, you get free access to an indoor track, a basketball court, more treadmills and weight machines than I can count, and even a couple of rooms for racquetball that I’m dying to try out. And...
A Breakfast Breakdown at Commons
Oct. 19, 2014—When I was registering for classes for the first time last summer, I thought it would be great to sign up for the earliest classes possible, so that I could have the afternoons off. What I didn’t take into account, however, was the fact that I would have to wake up. Early. Sometimes, (okay, all...
I Spy the Science Guy
