‘choosing Vanderbilt’
Pre Med? Vanderbilt is the Answer
Apr. 3, 2013—If medical school is part of the plan, Vanderbilt should also be part of your plan. Why? Read on.
Health Professions Grad School Fair
Apr. 2, 2013—It is not very often that I get to go shopping. My schedule fills up, and then I can't borrow a car, and then I remember that I spent all of my birthday money already. Today was my lucky day! The Health Professions Advisory Office hosted a grad school fair. There were 17 medical schools there, as well as a ton of dental, master's, physical therapy and other medical related professional schools in attendance.
#vu2017
Mar. 28, 2013—The excitement is tangible, dear readers, as acceptance letters have gone out to regular decision applicants this past Monday. You might think this doesn't affect the general population here at Vanderbilt or that we current students are long past the world of admissions and don't keep up with the news--but oh how wrong you'd be!
Why Vanderbilt?
Mar. 26, 2013—As regular decision letters were mailed yesterday, I am sure that this is the question on so many young minds (and on the minds of a few older parents as well). Though I can't answer this question for you, I can give you a little bit of insight into my own personal answer.
Birthdays!
Mar. 24, 2013—The past two weeks have been a whirlwind. Between getting back from Spring Break, tests and papers and spring fever, I have hardly had a minute to breathe. It just so happens that on top of all of this, THREE of my very best friends also celebrated their birthdays in this short span. Birthdays are the perfect excuse to plan fun activities and take much-needed study breaks. My friends did just that.
Whole Foods Cooking Class
Mar. 24, 2013—Yesterday, I took my third cooking class at the Salud Cooking School at the Whole Foods in Green Hills. This time, though, I got to plan the event through CityVU. So, this time, I can not only tell you about my cooking experience, but also about the planning that went into it!
ASBasketball and Tutoring
Mar. 19, 2013—So as I posted before leaving, I spent my Spring Break on an Alternative Spring Break trip called Jungle Gym that went to Kansas City, MO. There, we worked with the Niles Home for Children, a home and school for kids who have emotional trauma and psychological or behavioral disorders. We slept on the floor...
Les Miserables
Mar. 16, 2013—Last night, I was looking for a quiet and fun activity for me and my friends. The week after spring break is always a long one and we were looking for a way to relax. Lucky for us, VSG shows a movie every month in Sarratt Cinema. This month's movie was especially enticing. Not only did VSG show an Oscar winning film, but this film is still in theaters! I got to see Les Miserables!
Just the Break I Needed
Mar. 11, 2013—I spent this past week in bright and beautiful Miami Beach. Although it was a little colder than usual (about 20 degrees below average), the sun was out and my family was there. Spring break is the only real break we get during the semester and although many of my adventurous peers participated in service trips and fun getaways, I knew that I needed some family time to make it through the semester.
Signing Day
Feb. 26, 2013—I cannot believe that I forgot to blog about this- but better late than never, I suppose. A few weeks ago was national signing day. This day has never really been a big deal here because Vanderbilt is not known for contending and signing big-name recruits. This year, however, was different.
