The Dorm Life

Aug. 27, 2013—This year, I upgraded. Just like the Tennessee Titans upgraded their offensive line (Super Bowl here we come), I got to upgrade my dorm experience. I moved from a “Harry-Potter-Under-The-Stairs” single to a big and fancy four person suite aka prime real estate. For the rest of the year, I will be living in Morgan...

The 5 Reasons You Don’t Really Need a Car at Vandy

Aug. 26, 2013—The fall semester of 2013 means lots of "firsts" for me: my first job on campus, my first time living in a 4-person suite, and my first time bringing the good ol' Orland mini-van to campus.

Aug. 20, 2013—I’m very excited to head back to school after making many fun memories over summer vacation. I even wrote a blog post about the five things I needed/wanted to do before leaving home since as Dorothy says: “there’s no place like home”. ;) In the same vein, I wanted to write a blog about the first five things I’m going to do upon my return to Nashville..

A Summer Wrap Up

Aug. 20, 2013—Tomorrow begins Junior Year and ends the summer break. As I prepare for this new semester, I reflect on everything I did over the course of the summer. It all began in May.

The Other Half of Summer

Aug. 20, 2013—I’ve talked a lot about my internship at redpepper, and before I start talking about my senior year here at Vandy (eeek!) I want to cover how I spent the three days of my work week that weren’t spent at redpepper–working in the Vanderbilt Office of Undergraduate Admissions! My work at the VU OUA was...
