‘College Life’
The Beginning of the End
Aug. 20, 2013—Round 4 commences in a few hours. Being a 3-time veteran of first-day preparations, I knew that it was necessary to soak in all the lazy free time I possibly could before the first day of classes. Once that hits, the busy-bee life of a student here on campus starts!
New Year’s Resolutions
Aug. 20, 2013—New year, new books, new classes, and a couple of goals!
A Chattanooga Send-Off
Aug. 20, 2013—A few days ago, I had to say bye to my Chattanooga home to return for Round 4 of Vandy fun. However, this time around my family and I took a more tourist approach to explore the city before move-in day.
Move In- from the Parents’ Perspective
Aug. 19, 2013—This post was actually co-authored by my parents (Jeff and Leslie) who moved in TWO children to Vanderbilt this weekend. They are now empty nesters. Here is their story: Four years ago, when our eldest daughter, Erica, chose Vanderbilt, we knew almost nothing about the school or the city. The entire family was in for...
Moving in for the Last Time
Aug. 15, 2013—Today, my dad and I left Miami Beach bright and early.

As it turns out, we were in Chattanooga by 4:30 PM and we decided to drive the final two...
Summer Daze
Aug. 13, 2013—These past few days have been fun and family filled. In honor of my niece's baby dedication, my parents and I road-tripped up to Pennsylvania to join some family members for a nice little reunion.

Since 1968, these send-offs have been held in many major cities across the country. They are sponsored by local alumni chapters and honor first-year students. The send-off was a great...
Intern Life- Doing the Job
Aug. 5, 2013—So once I secured my super fantastic internship at redpepper, what was next? Well, dear reader, don't worry--I'm here to share just what I did with my time at rp.
Intern Life- Getting the Job
Aug. 3, 2013—Thursday marked the last day of my internship at ad agency redpepper, and I am terribly sad to leave. I had an absolutely amazing time, spending every Tuesday and Thursday of my summer in Nashville there, and I'm definitely planning on visiting during the school year, since redpepper is just off of West End--only a ten minute walk from where I'm living next semester!
A Visit from a Fellow Commodore
Aug. 1, 2013—The Vanderbubble really is a small world. When I arrived in Guatemala this summer as a Program Intern for Manna Project International, I was shocked to learn that one of my bosses, Nicole, a 13-month Program Director, actually graduated from Vanderbilt in 2012. Although we both learned about Manna through Vanderbilt’s active chapter on campus,...
