YOLLO- You Only Live in London Once
Oct. 9, 2012—I’m finally settled in London, y’all! My class schedule has been approved, I’ve visited most of the touristy sites, and I’ve even joined a sports team (bet you’ll never guess which one).
Why I applied to Vanderbilt
Oct. 8, 2012—Time really does fly! It seems like just yesterday that I was applying to college. I know that it is an extremely stressful time for high school seniors and their families. I hope that my reasons for applying to Vanderbilt can help you all decide to apply to Vanderbilt, or at the very least, figure...
Time for a break!
Oct. 3, 2012—This has been, by far, one of my busiest semesters here at Vandy, but I love everything I’m involved in too much to complain.
Volunteer Research
Oct. 1, 2012—This semester, because I don’t have labs as co-requisites for my classes, I decided to start volunteering in a medical research lab on campus.

Enriching a Course
Sep. 12, 2012—Today, I was officially approved to enrich a course.

All Aboard!
Sep. 8, 2012—In my last post, I talked a ridiculous amount about food, mostly because school hadn't yet pinned me to my desk or a seat in the Biomed Library, which I fondly refer to as the Eskimo building. Eskind and Eskimo are similar, okay?
What will arrive in semester five…
Aug. 21, 2012—By the end of the day tomorrow, I will have completed more of my undergraduate schooling than I have left. That’s a scary thought. Thankfully, there’s a whole lot of excitement and awesomeness that’s going to be packed into these next two years. Here’s a little sneak peek of my classes for the upcoming semester,...
London Lectures
Aug. 21, 2012—Classes start tomorrow at Vandy and while my classes in London won’t start until September 24th (no complaints), I’ve looked into classes I might take at UCL.
First Tour of the Year!
Aug. 21, 2012—Being a junior means that I am also a “veteran guide” which sounds awesome and lets me begin giving tours as soon as I get back on campus, which is what I did today!
