Packing for Vanderbilt
Apr. 29, 2013—As I defrost my fridge and empty my Brita filter for summer, I remember when I was first packing for Vanderbilt not knowing what exactly to bring. Here are my suggestions for what appliances are worth it:
Thanks for the memories
Apr. 28, 2013—Not too long ago I was in the very spot I sit right now, curled into fetal position with Ed Tullett playing in the background (look him up…am I cool yet?), lamenting the departure of my parents from Nashville, and nursing my feelings of abandonment/nervous stomachache the only way I knew how. Alone in my...
I love the contrasts Rites of Spring brings
Apr. 21, 2013—This weekend was tons of fun, thanks to Rites of Spring :) I loved going last year as a freshman and staying the entire time, but I think I enjoyed popping in and out more this spring. The entire atmosphere of the event is pretty relaxed, like your typical music festival—the bands perform enthusiastically, people bring coolers and sit on picnic blankets, and there are several food trucks and tables where people can buy T-shirts, drinks, or food...
The Write Stuff
Apr. 15, 2013—Before I admit that this super creative title was actually stolen from the company that made school supply packs for my elementary school, I have to apologize for not getting anything up here in a while. I’ve been SUPER busy with a whole bunch of things, including, but not limited to: doing my Econ homework,...
What Will You Be?
Apr. 9, 2013—If you haven’t figured it out, I already love the future class of 2017. So of course, I couldn’t resist following in the footsteps of fellow bloggers Nathan and Ryan.

Apr. 7, 2013—I'm not really a sports person, but here is why I think everyone should attend Predators game at least once!
What Will You Be?
Apr. 2, 2013—Like Nathan, I want to extend my heartfelt congratulations to the Class of 2017. As I prepare to graduate in about a month, I envy your position right now, getting ready to start a crazy and fun learning and growing experience (aka college). From his original post, Nathan has inspired me to think about ways...
Class of 2017 – What Will You Be?
Apr. 1, 2013—So, you’re in. Congratulations! You’ve overcome some of the toughest admissions odds in the nation to earn that shiny brochure and the acceptance letter you’ll hold onto for your scrapbook (if you’re into scrapbooking). Now that you’ve scaled that mountain, though, and the path to Vanderbilt is fully paved ahead of you… why come?
Old School
Apr. 1, 2013—At the beginning of this semester I had no idea that I would be stepping out of my comfort zone and into one of the most intimidating academic settings I could've possibly imagined, but now I couldn't imagine spending my Tuesday and Thursday afternoons any other way.
#vu2017
Mar. 28, 2013—The excitement is tangible, dear readers, as acceptance letters have gone out to regular decision applicants this past Monday. You might think this doesn't affect the general population here at Vanderbilt or that we current students are long past the world of admissions and don't keep up with the news--but oh how wrong you'd be!
