‘Academics’
It’s almost time!
Aug. 21, 2012—The few days before school begins are always a little crazy–on Saturday I moved in a whole lot of first years (and was a firsthand witness to Ann’s great enthusiasm). The rest of the day was spent recovering and catching up with some friends and then trekking back to Commons for the Protestant worship service...
“If I knew then what I know now…”
Aug. 20, 2012—Today, I partook in a first-year orientation panel themed “If I knew then what I know now…” Dr. Karen Campell, one of the Deans of Undergraduate Education invited several upperclassmen to give 1-2 suggestions to the first-years and then participate in a Q&A session.
First-Year FAQs
Aug. 14, 2012—Today I grabbed coffee with a girl from my high school who’s coming to Vandy (I can’t believe Move-In Day is SATURDAY!). I tried to answer any questions she had and I figured some excited first-years out there might be curious about them too:
Long Time, No Blog: End of the Summer Round Up!
Aug. 6, 2012—Well, it isn’t the end yet. Summer 2012 has been my most productive (that is, I haven’t sat around on my couch quite as much according to my mother). Without boring you with the details, I’d like to quickly glance back at my summer and look ahead to the coming semester!
VUSRP Presentations
Aug. 6, 2012—I’ve blogged a lot in the past about the undergraduate research I do at Vanderbilt. More recently, how I am currently participating in VUSRP and what day-to-day life is like in the lab. My research this summer is culminating in a 10 minutes PowerPoint presentation and a Poster Session Day during the fall semester. Here’s...
Neat Dorm Organizing Solutions!
Aug. 1, 2012—I’ve spent a lot (read: a lot) of time on Instructables this summer learning how to make little this‘s and that‘s and doohickeys. During my tenure on this Internet home for crafty people, I ran across a few ideas for dorm-approved storage/organization solutions. If you’re like me, young firstlings, you’ll find that all your beautiful...
Pre-Med Professors
Jul. 23, 2012—One of my friends from high school has a little sister coming to Vandy next year so I’ve been sharing my vast wisdom (ha) about classes and professors, primarily pre-med related. Here are a few of my favorites for any curious incoming freshman:
I love summer.
Jul. 23, 2012—The title says it all. My summer break has been much too good to me. While there is a small void in my life without my Vandy friends, being back home has been filled with wonderful memories!
London Calling
Jul. 14, 2012—In case you can’t tell, I’m a teeeeny bit excited about studying abroad in London next fall. Two of my friends are studying abroad in Edinburgh, one in St. Andrews, and another in Buenos Aires…so how did we decide where to study?
A Day in the Life: Stubbs Lab
Jul. 12, 2012—I’ve blogged in the past about my undergraduate research in a structural biology lab at Vanderbilt and how this summer I’m working full-time as a part of a summer research program called VUSRP, but I’ve never really gotten into the nitty gritty of what I do in lab. Welcome to a day in the life...
