The Final Final: Finals Week at Vandy!!!
Dec. 22, 2015—During a stay at Washington University at St. Louis for Multicultural Celebration Weekend, I stayed with six sophomores. As I walked around the dorm, one of them told me that her room reflected the state of her mind. During Finals week, she told me, she couldn’t even see her bed under all the clothes, papers, and books. Horrified, I swore that this would never be me.
That’s a Wrap!
Dec. 21, 2015—Things have finally wrapped up, and I'm not talking about a to-go order at Chipotle, although that's almost as important. My first semester of college is now officially behind me, but I'll always keep it in the forefront of my mind.
Decisions, decisions…

Why I Love Having My Guitar in Nashville
Dec. 6, 2015—Music City, USA. That’s not the reason why I chose to come to Vanderbilt, although it totally is.
Being Sick in College
Dec. 5, 2015—Being sick in college is hard. But it does make me appreciate being healthy! It also makes me appreciate everyone around me who offers to bring me soup, ice cream (my friends know me well) and Gatorade.
Fighting Illness at Vanderbilt
Dec. 3, 2015—The month of November took me to the Student Health Center and Vanderbilt's ER.
An International Thanksgiving
Nov. 27, 2015—Thanksgiving can be a lonely time for international students all around the country. It’s the time of year where we eat take-out while scrolling through our social media accounts looking at the enticing home-cooked meals our American friends are sharing with their families. Fortunately, thanks to my Faculty Head of House Dr. Cone, and his wife Mrs. Cone, I avoided a Thanksgiving spent in solitude.
MY HOUSE!!!!! (And my beautiful floor!)
Nov. 26, 2015—I came to college expecting nice dorms, but not hotel-nice. I didn’t expect the lobby of Hank to be an actual lobby (hence, “Hotel Hank.”) I didn’t expect the marble floors or columns everywhere, or the nice cleaning lady who cleans the bathrooms every single day. I didn’t expect the pristine kitchen, or the nice tile of the dorm rooms. I didn’t expect Commons to be as nice it is. So when I put my stuff down in Stambaugh, I was floored. (I know, I know. You love puns too :) :) :))
A Trip to Percy Warner Park
Nov. 22, 2015—A reminder that some of Tennessee's most beautiful parks are just miles from your dorm.
