Freshman Moving Tips
Aug. 17, 2011—It is really hard to believe that summer is almost over but that also means that a new semester at Vanderbilt is right around the corner!

Freshman Forget-me-NOTS
Aug. 6, 2011—Packing up for the first year of college is overwhelming. For one, you’re excited to (finally) be out of the house and on your own. Classes are better, friends are better, and life is just a lot more fun. But, you face the prospect of packing up everything you’re going to need for a year...
Storage and Moving Tips
May. 6, 2011—Yesterday, along with fellow Inside ‘Dores Blogger Ryan Higgins and a couple other friends, I spent six long hours storing everything under the sun that one can find in a dorm room.

Move Out
May. 1, 2011—Today, I am moving out of Stambaugh House. I never thought this day would come. Moving out of the Commons is bittersweet. How has an entire year already come and gone?

Mayfield Orientation
Apr. 26, 2011—As I’ve mentioned before, I’m living in a Mayfield next year. We had our Mayfield Orientation tonight, which consisted of ice-breaking, team building, and elections, not to mention delicious catered food.
Laundry Day!
Apr. 25, 2011—There are two ways to do laundry at Vanderbilt. One, you could go and use the laundry machines conveniently located in the bottom of our dorms, or two, you could avoid learning how to do laundry and use the Laundry Service.
Housing!
Apr. 7, 2011—I officially know where I am living next year! My best friend, Glori, and I will be living in Scales House in Branscomb Quad. We actually have our own half bath that connects our room to another double, which will be occupied by our other friends. This all happened so fast! Where did freshman year...
Mayfield Lodges
Mar. 24, 2011—Even though we still have a little over a month left, I’m getting excited for next year! I already met with my advisor about classes and have a pretty good schedule mapped out. What I really can’t wait for, though, is living in a Mayfield!
