The Sound of Music Remixed: The Saga That Was Picking My Classes
Dec. 8, 2013—I’ve recently been inspired by Carrie Underwood’s live TV performance in the Sound of Music, so I now proudly, unabashedly present my own recreation of one of my favorite songs from this magical musical, all about picking my schedule. Also, I address how I settled on my schedule for my first two semesters at Vandy. Happy Holidays. Happy Finals-Procrastinating. Happy Reading.
A Plug for Biodiversity (and My Major)
Dec. 6, 2013—Dear readers, I have the best major. My introductory/foundational Cognitive Studies class, PSY-PC 1207 Minds, Brains, Contexts, & Cultures, just wrapped up with a final project about effecting social change. In the spirit of my second passion, Communication of Science, I integrated topics from my human biology class (BSci 105) to present the importance of biodiversity...
Don Quixote and Experimental Fiction
Oct. 15, 2013—This semester, my classes are actually fun. I know, it seems strange, but they really are! Now that I have fulfilled the majority of my graduation requirements, I can take classes that interest me. One of my favorites, is an honors seminar called “Don Quixote and Experimental Fiction.” As I mentioned in my last blog...
First Year writing Seminar Vs. Fall Break
Oct. 12, 2013—As an international student, I know that my chances of going back home are restricted to Summer break and maybe Winter break. Which is kind of sad, but still fine.

Oh, Thank Heaven for Semester Seven!
Sep. 12, 2013—(The title’s a stretch, I know. It’s hard to rhyme with seven.) We’re about 3 and a half weeks into my second-to-last semester here at Vanderbilt, and the fact that I haven’t blogged yet is a pretty good indicator of how busy it has been. That being said, it is so good to be back...

Senior Year- A Different Schedule
Aug. 25, 2013—I cannot believe that this is my last fall at Vanderbilt. Between football games, Homecoming week the opening of Alumni Hall, this semester is sure to fly by. Because I am a senior, my schedule is a weird mix of classes that I need to complete my major and AXLE. Thus, although the timing of...
New Year, New Semester
Aug. 22, 2013—The Fall Semester of 2013 has begun. I am now officially a Junior in college and have passed the half-way point of my college career. Here is a preview of my junior year schedule. This semester, I decided to take 19 hours per week, one hour more than the standard 18 hours. These classes are:...
Guest Blog: In a Nutshell
Aug. 21, 2013—College. With impeccable timing it conveniently crashes down onto our lives, leaving us in desperate search for the chips of our identity and the task of piecing them back together again. After packing up all of our belongings we begin triple checking our list to make sure we have all of the essentials: shower shoes, No. 14 pencils to last a lifetime, and enough Target dorm décor which we hope can transform a 10x10 room into a rough version of the Pottery Barn catalog.
