COVID Freshman Year
May. 13, 2021—One of MANY zoom calls this semester! It is hard to believe that my first year at Vanderbilt has come and gone. This time last year, I remember praying that we would go to school in person and not have to spend my freshman year at home taking online classes. When we got the email...
Vanderbilt Jargons Part I
Jan. 29, 2020—As promised in my first blog of Fall 2019, I have compiled Vanderbilt jargons. They are in different forms: acronyms, names, new words, and so on. They refer to a variety of things at Vanderbilt: places, food, student organizations, and so on. To kick off the jargon-focused blog series, let’s go over three jargons relevant...
Vanderbilt’s Hidden Gems
Apr. 8, 2019—With freshman year coming to a close, and a new freshman class preparing to enter Vanderbilt’s class of 2023, I started thinking about the reasons why I love Vanderbilt so much.

My Favorite Meal for Dinner
Feb. 3, 2019—One of my favorite places to get dinner on campus is at 2301. 2301 is an allergen friendly dining option located in Rand. It has ingredients free from the top eight allergens.

Coffee, Coffee, Coffee!!
Jan. 7, 2019—If you’re anything like me, then coffee is one of your best friends, not just in the morning but at all hours of the day!

Why Vanderbilt?
Apr. 6, 2018—I’m going to be honest with you guys, I don’t know why I applied to Vanderbilt. It was simply a gut feeling. A good number of people from my high school had gone there, and it was a school of the caliber I was looking for. It was also not too far from home, and...
Vandy Lingo 101
Aug. 12, 2017—I remember how I felt this same time last year. There was exactly one week remaining until I finally set foot on Vanderbilt’s campus as a student and hearing the Move Crew, which I’ll be a part of this year, scream “Anchor Down!” as I arrived on campus. There is so much about Vanderbilt that...

Thanksgiving in Dixie
Dec. 7, 2015—One of my favorite things about Vanderbilt (other than, like, eight million other things—including, but not limited to, Grins Nutella paninis, really fat squirrels, and the fact that I’m currently wearing Nike shorts in December) is that we get a full week off for Thanksgiving break. This break comes just about two weeks before finals,...
