Apr. 29, 2012—My friend Michael was one of the most important factors in my consideration of Vanderbilt. The school wasn’t really on my radar until he graduated high school (two years ahead of me) and came to Vandy, from where he will graduate next week. While talking to Michael at lunch one day, he gave me an...
A Vacant Room, an Occupied Vanderbilt
Apr. 28, 2012—My roommate is a prominent member of Occupy Vanderbilt. So, is she still my roommate? Of course! And I couldn’t be more proud; they’re doing some awesome work!
The Joys of Finals Week
Apr. 27, 2012—Finals week. Insert dramatic sigh here. I am honestly quite sad to see that two whole years–HALF of my undergraduate career–is already over. Preparation for my finals is slowly but surely making itself more prominent in my schedule, but that does not deter me from enjoying what is left of life as a sophomore year!
The Mechatronics Master
Apr. 27, 2012—As I mentioned in a post near the semester’s beginning, my Mechatronics class culminated in a final design project.

End of the Year Activities
Apr. 24, 2012—The school year is rapidly coming to a close. In an effort to go out with a bang, Vanderbilt has stepped up its programming. In addition to Rites of Spring, there have been tons of great events for students to enjoy before we head out separate ways this summer.
Rites of Spring 2012
Apr. 24, 2012—This year marks my second year of going to Rites of Spring at Vanderbilt. Even though I didn't know any of the artists coming super well, I love the atmosphere of Rites and the awesome meal plan food options (like The Grilled Cheeserie). Here's a summary of my experience that weekend:
Planning Senior Year
Apr. 24, 2012—Second semester junior year is all about planning. You need to think about which classes are left for you to take to finish your major(s) and maybe a minor and to finish your general AXLE requirements. It is also the time to seriously think about what you want to do after college…Graduate school? Medical/law/business school?...
