Sep. 12, 2012—I am back in the swing of things, dear readers, and it is crazy! Though today marks the middle of the 3rd full week of school, I feel like I've been here for way longer. I'm slowly but surely getting into a routine, and fondly remembering all the wonderful things about Vanderbilt (and the not so wonderful thing that is homework).

Enriching a Course

Sep. 12, 2012—Today, I was officially approved to enrich a course. Enriching a course is the College of Arts and Science is only available to College Scholars, a title that I was luckily enough to earn with my acceptance to Vanderbilt. We have the unique opportunity to graduate with honors in the College of Arts and Sciences, which is similar to graduating with honors in your major.

Parks and Rec

Sep. 10, 2012—This weekend, I took advantage of the BEAUTIFUL weather and decided to experience Nashville's parks. Believe it or not, there are so many parks around here. There are not only hiking trails, water falls, and horseback riding, but also outside amphitheaters, playgrounds and museums.
