Keeping in touch!
Jul. 9, 2012—It’s not too hard, whether you’re in the States or abroad, I promise!
Summer Update
Jul. 8, 2012—Sorry I’ve been slacking with my blogging y’all, but here are a few updates:
Reliving the SATs
Jul. 8, 2012—If you're reading this as a potential Vanderbilt student (or as an admitted one), you know the woes of SAT and ACT prep. You know about sitting for several hours in cold rooms to take the tests that help determine your future college. This summer, I've taken the time to re-live these standardized tests--and I'm actually enjoying it.
MCAT…DONE!
Jul. 8, 2012—My summer has finally begun! I know it seems a little late, but I can finally relax! I took the MCAT on Friday afternoon, so my summer studies are officially over.

My First Week Volunteering at the Auschwitz-Birkenau State Museum
Jun. 25, 2012—Now that I gave you some really cool, fun aspect from my time in Poland, thus far, it’s time to talk about why I am really here. My volunteer position at Auschwitz.
Summer days :)
Jun. 22, 2012—Well, I’m a month and a half into my summer break, and I’ve done quite a bit in that time frame! I went to Chicago for a cousin’s wedding/family reunion, got an awesome job, and officially completed two decades of living! Of course there are Skype dates with some of my favorites from Vandy sprinkled...
