Nashville’s Marching Band, and the Vandy Bubble
Feb. 12, 2021—It’s the start of spring semester and I already miss football season. As a result, I thought I’d write about my experience so far in the Spirit of Gold Marching Band, otherwise known as SOG. I’ll talk about specifics like Gameday in later posts, but for now here’s just an introduction: One of the most...

LNYF 2020 Reflections~
Feb. 23, 2020—I wrote a post about cultural showcases last year, but this time I’m going to focus on the Lunar New Year Festival (LNYF), a huge cultural showcase put on by the Asian American Student Association (AASA), which happened just yesterday! It’s hands down my favorite Vandy activity because students from various backgrounds, come together to learn...
Graduation: Thoughts and Feelings
Feb. 3, 2020—As a senior, I spend roughly half of my waking hours thinking about how much I’m going to miss Vanderbilt and how imminent graduation feels.

Senior Year Highlights
Jan. 27, 2020—This year is definitely the one of the busiest and most enriching I’ve had during my Vanderbilt experience so far.

Last Semester of Undergrad!
Jan. 6, 2020—I cannot believe it’s my last semester at Vandy! Many people usually have a pretty free second semester as a senior, but I still have a packed schedule. As a Music Performance Major, there are many requirements I have to fulfill every semester, which limits the number of classes I can take outside of music...
A Day in My Life
Nov. 29, 2019—I hope everyone has been having a restful Thanksgiving! Vanderbilt students are lucky and we have had this entire week off (a much needed break from school).

Why You Should Join a Club Sport
Nov. 29, 2019—For most people, high school consisted of school, friends, and sports. If you’re like me, you don’t want your sports career to end after high school, but you also aren’t going to play on one of Vanderbilt’s amazing D1 teams. Fear not though, because there are other options. One of the best things I did...
“They Answer I Present”: Why Vanderbilt (Part 3)
Oct. 17, 2019—The question of “Why Vanderbilt” has been on the back of my mind during my years at Vanderbilt. My academic advisor also asked me this question the first time we met.
