Vanderbilt University…Way more than just Statistics
Sep. 19, 2010—Over the past month, I have had to fortunate opportunity to train as Tour Guide associated with the Office of Undergraduate admissions.

Senior Year Begins with a Jump into the “Real World”
Sep. 7, 2010—Well… it’s happened… I have officially started my senior, and last, year at Vanderbilt University. Is it a bad thing that I was (and still am) extremely jealous of the freshman moving into their dorms a few weeks ago? Is it bad that I didn’t want everyone to come back to campus from their summer...
Summer in the Nashville City
Aug. 19, 2010—I spent about half my summer in Nashville – and it may have been one of the best decisions ever. Right after finals I went home for my younger brother’s high school graduation and then did some summer traveling. By the end of June, I repacked my things and headed back down south.

1 More Year…
Apr. 26, 2010—I would like to expand on Seth’s point in his most recent post, asking the question, “Are we done already???” And would like to emphasize how much it is freaking me out too! Seth… just you wait… its going to start going by faster and faster and FASTER and before you know it, you will...
Post-Concert update on the Melodores
Apr. 23, 2010—This was the big week for the Melodores. We had rehearsal every day leading up to our concert (which was yesterday). Hours and hours of practice finally paid off during our concert, entitled “The Meloship of the Ring.” Many asked if our concert had anything to do with Lord of the Rings and it really...
