Food!!! (ft. cooking in college)
Jan. 2, 2020—Happy New Year everyone! One of my New Years Resolutions is to continue to cook more and eat healthier.

Fave Study Spots
Dec. 26, 2019—Throughout my time at Vanderbilt, I have experimented with finding the best places to study.

Dec. 6, 2019—It’s that time of the year again. I’m not talking about the holidays, finals, or the first snowfall, but rather, I’m talking about sorority recruitment. Vanderbilt has winter recruitment, which begins right before second semester instead of before first semester like many other universities. This way, freshmen can navigate new coursework, a new state, new...

A Day in My Life

Fear not though, because there are other options. One of the best things I did...
