The Happiest Student at Vanderbilt: Random Things I’ve Done at Vandy (Christmas Edition!)

Dec. 23, 2015—Thus ends the first semester of my freshman year. I was my high school valedictorian and I failed three tests.

A Procrastinator’s New Year’s Resolutions

Feb. 3, 2015—Upon the realization today that Lent is just around the corner, I figured that now would be the perfect time to pull out the half-written New Year's resolutions I started back in January.
