Introducing Me!
Sep. 2, 2012—This is my first official blog post as an Inside ‘Dore and I couldn’t be more excited! Before I start posting about my day-to-day experiences here at Vanderbilt, I figured that I should give you a little bit of information about who I am, what I like to do, etc. so that you can know whether you find what I like remotely interesting or not.
You Can Fly!
May. 23, 2012—Even in the summer, Vanderbilt students are still learning... at the Smithsonian Institution's fabulous museums!
Educational Psychology
May. 9, 2012—For my Educational Psychology class this past semester, we could pretty much do anything that we wanted for our final project. Our professor suggested that we use our future careers as inspiration, with the only requirements being that it had to have seven to nine sections and it had to be related back to Educational...
Reading at Children’s Hospital
Apr. 4, 2012—One of my favorite classes that I am taking this semester is a class on Children’s Literature, which is offered through Peabody. Aside from being able to embrace my inner 5 year old by reading and examining books from my childhood, one of the best parts of this class is that we get to read...
Human and Organizational Development
Feb. 19, 2012—When I tell non-Vandy friends and family that one of my majors is Human and Organizational Development (HOD), I usually receive lots of questions. At first, even I was confused about what this major entails. But after two and a half years in the program, I feel I have a much better grasp on what...

Nov. 4, 2011—As the North East was slammed with snow this past week, Nashville has enjoyed a particularly beautiful Fall, complete with seventy degree days and breathtaking color changes. One of the best ways to enjoy this perk is to enjoy one of the many outside study spots on campus. Here are a few of my favorites.
Favorite Study Spots
Oct. 11, 2011—As a college student one of the most important decisions you make on a regular basis is where to study. It truly is a personal choice, based on whether or not you need silence or a little bit of noise, whether you are studying alone or with a group, or whether you want to be comfortable...
More on Professor Van Schaack
Apr. 11, 2011—Morgan Weisman, my fellow blogger and sorority sister, is right. Academics at Vanderbilt are not always a piece of cake, but there are those professors that make paying $50,000 on a tuition bill worthwhile. Professor Andy Van Schaack is one of those. I realize Morgan elaborated quite a bit on him, but enough can’t be...
Not A Piece Of Cake
Apr. 4, 2011—I didn’t expect college to be a piece of cake. I mean let’s face it: this is Vanderbilt. I came in expecting a challenge, and I certainly got one! Don’t get me wrong, and don’t even think I’m complaining, because being challenged is a lot easier with professors like Professor Van Schaack.
