Summer’s Start
Jun. 1, 2011—Since it now June, and I have been home for a few weeks, I think the fact that I won’t be returning to Vanderbilt for another 2 months is finally sinking in. Coming home has been wonderful and relaxing, but I am definitely starting to miss the hustle and bustle of Vandy life.
My Mini Vacation
May. 23, 2011—After about three weeks of being home, I started having serious Vanderbilt withdrawals. It’s amazing how I adjusted so well to life at Vanderbilt and much trouble I am having re-adjusting to life at home. Lucky for me, my best friend and room mate, Glori, lives four hours away from me, so I decided to...

Taps & Tapas
May. 4, 2011—My favorite dinner spot around campus is definitely Hillsboro Village. There are a bunch of restaurants, ranging from McDougal’s (Chicken strips) to Zumi (sushi), Fido (American food in a hipster atmosphere) to Provence (sandwiches, soups, and delicious desserts). This past weekend, I took a Finals Study Break and ventured into one of the newer restaurants,...
It’s Over Already?
May. 3, 2011—Freshman year is over. Yes, today I finished my final presentation and I no longer have any schoolwork for this semester. My mom has come to visit and help me pack, and by Friday I will be moved out of the beautiful Commons and en route back to sunshine-y Florida.

Full Circle. The End of My First Year.
May. 2, 2011—Things have truly come full circle. I am currently cruising at an altitude of 35,000 ft as I draft my last post of the semester. For those of you who don’t know, before I started blogging for Inside ‘Dores, I actually kept a personal. I started this blog back in August, on my way to...
